I thought it was mostly a good idea for cells that were already ruptured/shorting out and to just use normal water.

For discharging or neutralizing or fire fighting?
Water or an aqueous firefighting solution is the preferred method for putting out a li-ion fire but wonā€™t discharge a cell. I guess if the cell was open then water could dilute the nasty organic solvents inside but Iā€™d be verrrrrrry worried about handling a ruptured cell that could short or easily catch fire.

yep thatā€™s the situation where I would put it into a bucket of water or sand hopefully.

I keep a 5gal bucket of sand in my workshop for firefighting purposes. Throwing water on zappy zaps doesnt seem like a great idea.

Thereā€™s no metallic lithium in rechargeable li-ion cells though and water/aqueous solutions are the preferred way to fight li-ion fires. Their mass helps to quickly bring down the cell temperature to below the thermal runaway threshold, stopping the reaction.

Lithium-metal (typically non-rechargeable) cells do have metallic lithium in them though.

What BMS do you guys have here? Is something custom?

Do you have an etsy store?

No?

disclaimer: just a photo. I didnā€™t make this.

Iā€™d bet there is a Onewheel XR in there somewhere.

@jbshayward, an ESC and battery pack in each enclosure? Iā€™m too much of an esk8 noob to recognize the logo, who makes them?

Thanks!
I love the integration. It means a closed system not adaptable for all but thereā€™s just something about a tight, small setup that appeals to me.

The hubs are not bad, probably the least worst hubs we have access to. Battery/BMS/ESC arenā€™t worth their weight in dirt.
