[HowTo] Service an custom eBoosted Battery

[lucid_layers]

Dear friends,

some weeks ago I got a 12s4p battery delivered from eBooosted Peru.
It is designed for the “LY evo SS” case.

Due to some unknown accident, one of the p-groups and the BMS died and I had to service the battery.

I did contact Alan(@eBoosted) and told him my findings.
We confirmed together that group nr “5” is no more working and has to be exchanged.

Two weeks later, the repair kit arrived.
Alan did a great job in assembling the replacement parts.
He send me everything that is needed to replace one group.

I opened the heatshrink and marked the dead group:

Then I measured the voltages of the individual groups:

I soldered a charge wire to each group one after another, and charged them all to the same voltage:

Desoldering the mains and balance wire from the group:

Cut the Fishpaper to remove the group (no hot glue or desoldering at this point)

Installing the replacement goup:

Soldering the Mains:

Add some Fish to isolate my inperfect soldering (so it doesnt cut the new heatshrink by accident):

Finished Backside:

Last Step was to replace the 13-Wire Balancer Connector. Dont have any pictures from that, but it was a pretty straight forward soldering job.

Thanks @eBoosted for this great repair kit and the service-friendly battery design!
It was easy to do and looks perfectly smooth. like nothing happend

Alan is always a pleasure to deal with
We should have some sort of vendor appriciation badge here on the forums

It looks like your solder job just needed more solder applied to it. For thicker wire like that I’ve found i have to solder the wire where it is supposed to go, and then add more solder after that to fully cover the wire strands/ make it look like a nice little blob. I’m pretty sure that the amount you used will still work fine so long as the wires wouldn’t budge after doing it. _{I always like to give my wires a nice little tug to double check they’re connected well AFTER they cool down. don’t do it when its still warm}
