Unlock the full potential of your Swytch kit with this battery converter! This converter allows you to use non-official Swytch batteries seamlessly with your Swytch Gen3 / Air / Air Max kit. (Please note this does not work with the original Swytch kit or the new GO kit - Please see the pictures if unsure or message first).
Please note these are made to order, by me and are not an official Swytch product or has any affiliation with Swytch.
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE A BATTERY
Features:
- Easy to Use: Snaps in and out just like the original Swytch batteries.
- Flexible Connectivity: External plug for any length cable
- Durable: Water-resistant and heat-resistant design, with sealed external ports and a rubber gasket on the lid.
- Safety First: Includes a fuse to protect against excessive current (25a fuse) and a switch to disable the circuit when plugging in the battery.
- High-Quality Components: Built with high-rated cables and components for higher current batteries.
-
Less wear to your Swytch: Soft prongs gently press onto the Swytch's connection - Not hanging off prongs.
Technical information:
- The unit contains a XT60 plug, you can plug directly into the battery or you can use an extension cable.
- The unit contains a 25a fuse, if you require a different voltage, the unit can be opened and the fuse swapped.
Which Battery to buy?
This is designed for a 36V lithium-ion battery.
Please note: These are made to order and can take some time to 1-2 weeks to ship (Hopefully not too much), I'll be making and shipping them out on a first-come-first-serve basis. The final product may look different as this is constantly being worked on and updated.
Disclaimer:
This is custom made kit and you use at your own risk - I am not affiliated or responsible for damage. This does not come with a warrenty and I can't promise its longevity as I have not performed long-term testing. I've attempted to use the best possible parts and safety devices as possible but cannot be held responsible, I repeat, use at your own risk. If incorrect equipment is used on your Swytch (Incorrect battery) you could be at risk of damaging the equipment.
How to use:
1. Make sure the switch on the side of the unit is turned to OFF (Engraved on the side of the box) before plugging in a battery otherwise you will get a spark in the cable.
2. Plug the adapter into into Swytch
3. Turn the switch on the side of the adpater to it's ON position.
4. If you haven't already plug the battery into the adapter (You can have the adapter plugged in when you attach the adapter but make sure the adapter is on its OFF position before connecting to the switch)
5. Use your Swytch as usual.
Whats in the adapter?
For full transparency and for you to fully understand what you're connecting to your Swytch I decided to go over everything under the hood (I have an open picture of the insides in the pictures):
The case: Print with 100% infil ABS, I'm using the official Bambu labs filament they claim to have a special mix more resistant to UV and water. The case has a gasket design with a 1mm rubber cord used to create a tight seel to help with water resistance. The front plug is sealed with super glue and gorrila epoxy glue. It has 4 embedded nuts to attach the case.
The guts: I'm using AMASS XT60E-F.B, these are nickel plated and rated up to 30a (The Swytch kit should only reach 18a-19a on heavy load). These are connected using a barrel connector and epoxy gorrila glue. I've found this way to give a tigher bond between the terminal then soldering, they are almost impossible to yank off.
All the cables are 12AWG rated for the 20a max load.
It has a medium fuse holder that's water-resistant, holding a 25a fuse, the cable attached is 12AWG. This can be accessed and changed, It might just be fiddly as the cables are thick and hard to move around.
It's using small clamps from fuses (DJ6218B-E6.3B) to grip onto the Swytch's prongs, I wouldn't recomend using these without the case, they grip on but not tightly enough to fully support the cable - This works perfect for me as the case supports the clamps, and the soft grip reduces the wear on the Swytch's prongs. They also have no edge rubbing only the rounded curve on the prong. This is then epoxy'd onto the case to stop movement.

The external switch is IP65 and rated at 20a's, it's being connecting to the system by brass terminal connectors.
