My range extender life was short, and I’m never touching hoverboard packs anymore again
Was peacefully working when my dad knocks saying my board is caching fire
One of the hoverboard cases was smoking and popping, hurried it to the backyard and started with the hose on it, opened the case with a long knife, once I realized it wasn’t the cell’s themselves I started screwing out of the board in case the worst happened, the 16 screws that secured it to the deck didn’t help
For good measure I also took out the second one
Not sure what happened, there was a bit of oxidation on the connector, but the BMS should cut it in case of short right? Guess it’s also a piece of shit of a BMS, and the short current was too much for it to cut and the mosfets started popping, at least it smelled like electronics magic smoke
Funny thing is that the board has been sitting in the same place unriden since I came back from vacation 10 days ago. And also I today a few hours earlier decided to check the pack voltage after reading about @janpom loosing his pack after draining it to 0, would be too bad for me to do that a second time
@Battery_Mooch leaving this pack is a bucket of water is my best option right? Until it reads 0 V or close to it?
