Add a rechargable battery pack to make your EEW more portable. I don’t sell any of these, but there are links to make finding them easier.

Electric Eel Wheel 6
The EEW 6 power plug is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm 12V. The power source should supply 2 A or more current. To connect these battery packs, most of these batteries come with a cable that connects to the 12V output on the battery and then another end of that cable will connect to the EEW 6.0.
The bottom cover fits the TalentCell 12V 6000mAh. That is my top recommended battery for the EEW 6.0.
Below are a few battery options I’ve tested with the EEW 6:
- TalentCell 12V 3000mAh (4+ hours of use)
- TalentCell 12V 6000mAh (8+ hours of use) – This is the one that fits in the bottom best
- TalentCell PB240A1 (12+ hours of use)
If you want to try USB C on the EEW 6 you need a special cable to output 12V from USB C and a battery pack that supports USB C with PD 24W+ at 12V (they might list it as 2A+ at 12V).
There are USB Type A to 12 V cords that fit the EEW 6.x, but you shouldn’t use them. The USB cords can’t provide enough power for the EEW 6.x in all cases and this can damage the motor. If you ever find one that has specs that say it can provide 12V at 1.5A or higher let me know since it would probably work, but I’ve never seen one like that.
Electric Eel Wheel Nano
The EEW Nano 2 can be powered with any USB battery pack that supports 2 amps or more, and has a Type A USB connector. Most USB battery packs I could find did this.
If you have the 3d printed bottom I designed for the EEW Nano 2 this is the battery that cover TalentCell 12V 3000mAh. If using the TallentCell battery packs with the EEW Nano make sure you use the USB port and not the 12V output port. The 12V output port can damage the motor.
