Aftermarket onewheel packs are, as a whole, are horrifyingly low quality compared to the packs most builders on here build/sell. Even the most reputable builders of OW packs still do things very frowned upon with the packs we produce. If that’s a market you want to jump into with your battery building venture, the competition would benefit everyone to build safer and more price competitive packs.

I’m curious what you think, currently on the fence of getting VTC5A for my next pack. They have less power density than VTC6, less internal resistance, also seem more reliable. Downside is ofcourse 400mah less capacity, which is fine I think.

I’m already looking into it…
I did a lot of research last week and Chi makes a shit ton of money on their packs
At this point I’m 95% sure how to build packs like theirs and sell them at a price like 15-20% less and still make a good amount of $$$

Currently members of the OW discord are working on pulling the FW off the BMS to fix battery upgrade capacity issues. It’s definitely possible as the onewheelrider.eu websites sells FW adjustements for ~$120 bucks!

Badly done shrink wrap?
Lower capacity doesn’t always equal less running time. It depends on how hard you’re using the cells. How much current per cell are you drawing continuously? In bursts?

Look what’s covering the nickel on the back row of cells

This would be huge overkill for your application and also you wont really be able to solder it with your small iron.
