So I took this thing out on a ride, and after about a half hour it died. The battery was totally bricked. Pitbullesk8 had some weird BMS that was wired to discharge and it shorted out. Luckily my noob ass was saved by @BluPenguin who I had to basically force to take a case of beer as payment for time spent. Seriously you saved my ass, thanks so much
Here’s the before and after pics took by blupenguin
Once blupenguin was done with the battery here’s the setup:
I also figured out a use for the button hole that I drilled for the switch. I carved out the button material and then used the housing to put my charging port in. Otherwise I was going to be left with that pointless hole or a useless button. Had to use soldering iron to get all the plastic shit out of the housing.
