Loaded X Unlimited kit | What's inside? How to take it apart? Was this a stupid idea?

I think the 25R is pretty similar to the LG HE4, they come up on nkon fairly often and I thiink they’re good powerful performers just not very high capacity. I presume they’d work too?

Also that 15~20A feels prettt ambitious for a 30Q, don’t they sag and lose capacity quite a lot if they get near 15?

Yeah. P26a would probably be the go to cell now.

GG, but the biggest thumb down is for their wheel sleeves!
They need an aluminium core, , like LW or Mellow or Wowgo, otherwise they will deform very fast when getting warm and nice rolling will be no more.

Anyone tried a battery swap with these? I have a dead cell and gonna look into a rebuild of the pack.

No one has because it’s not worth it (since the cells are the right choice for the pack, as I stated in my conclusion)

But if you have a dead pack, then swapping the cells is a very economical solution and is totally feasible from what I’ve seen, albeit I bit of work desoldering the cell tabs from the PCB.

If you are not experienced with battery making, I highly recommend shipping the pack to a battery builder so he work with it.

@BenjaminF @Skyart @A13XR3 come very recommended and I can personally vouch for their passion and dedication to battery building, but there are also other as you can see here

Reworking pcb batteries fuckin sucks.

It does. But this one it particular isn’t tooooo bad.
Having examined it first hand I can say it’s well within the doable.

The one in my ebike is literally impossible to swap for example.

Thanks! I got a replacement pack but given Loaded have closed their doors now if anything goes on it I’ll need a help!

Second question is the remote if that ever needs replacing - I’m assuming it’s a fairly specific firmware on it as they have their “unlimited mode” and some weird stuff…

Most likely the remote receiver is soldered onto the ESC. All Loaded remotes will work but anything else won’t. Depending on what you do to the remote it might be fixable.

Anyone able to troubleshoot these? I have a kit where it occasionally drops BT and/or one of the wheels stops working and i can’t work out how the do the matrix of the esc/batteries/hub motors on the dual kits.
