Hilarious - Set Charging Port Fire🔥 (Noob Seeking Advice)

[b264]

@Indy

What exactly do you think happened? Did the spark originate from the powered cable or the board’s battery? (I would imagine it came from the board)

Battery.

@Indy

• What are the potential damaged components beyond the melted charge port? Since the BMS limits charge/discharge for safety, wouldn’t it have protected the battery in this case? Could the BMS be damaged? Are there other potentially damaged components?

Charge Port & USB cable, red charge connector, BMS, Cells, Battery Series Connections, in decreasing order of likeliness. Probably not the ESC.

@Indy

If you were in my shoes, how would you proceed? Should I throw a new charge port in it and test it out, or do some components need to be replaced for safety?

Replace the charge port, adding a fuse inline with the port, and see if it works.
