Do you guys think this has a chance?
Guys, I just received a pure nickel strip and tried to weld it to a Samsung 25R with no luck.
I have a DIY microwave spot welder. I used it before with no issues and built some battery packs,
but with non pure nickel strips. Now, with the pure one, I can’t get any strong welds at all, the welds
are too weak and the nickel strips fall straight away.
What can I do to improve this? I think that the pen I use have non quality pins, but I’m not sure if that is the only reason for this to happen.
Nickle Coated steel is a lot easya to weld due to its higher resistance so you don’t need as many amps.
If your struggling to weld pure Nickle try paralleling a 2nd battery doing a load in quickly see what part is heating up on your welder improve that.
I see. Thanks for the info.
My spot welder is powered by AC, I’m not using batteries to power it. I need more powerrrrr
Anybody have about 10ft nickel strip in the USA? Before I buy a bunch online…?
Alternatively, if you want to split an order with me, I’m down for that, too
Yes… Half way down first post… I have wiring and some other bits that might be of interest too
I’ll add my 2 cents here… Made a rookie move lol… I spaced out while glueing but made all my 6p offset packs the same instead having half mirrored… If you dont know what that means it means that when I flip every other pack during assembly they wont line up and lock in… =(
So had to tear down the packs and restructure…
Good news is all.my weld were nice n solid… Bad news… Time to break out the dermal for some clean up…
Haha, awesome. PM incomming!
You can try to reduce resistance. Thicker shorter cables, stout connectors, beefier probes.
Are you sure those welds are strong enough?
I own and have heavily modded my OW+. I’ve seen spikes up to 18a, but the bluetooth update rate isn’t fantastic with 3rd party apps that can read that data. So I would prepare for up to 40a spikes. If you keep the original battery in there as a buffer, the two together can smooth that out to around 8-10a constant through a vampire connector.
yup…pictures were taken before i posted, and posted after i ripped em apart… wish I didnt have to do clean up but its also confirmation the welds were good
Yes you are exactly who I am trying to talk to about this project
It has a dead battery but that’s it.
Getting a buying date arranged
I have a 12S li-ion pack here would it work good with that? Or will the controller no likey
There are a lot of disassembly videos but no like, wiring diagrams.
So that’s a V1 onewheel. I would look for a + model. The motor just isn’t as strong on the V1, higher top speed but not much tourque. For the most part people have abandoned it. For $400 though, I guess just slap one of the ego batteries on the fender and wire that direct to the controller and call it a day.
Stock battery is a 16 cell NMC battery at 59v fully charged. It can be swapped for a 14s li-ion battery. Or you can use both together if the stock battery isn’t entirely screwed. That way you still get accurate percentage readouts in the app and the on/off button still works normally.
Huh I actually kinda thought it was a plus.
I was also thinking about controller swapping it, but you say it’s the motor that is worse than the +/XR.
They are all rated 750W is it different KV or something?
I guess I won’t try to off-road it much.
And yes battery on top of the fender is the plan.
I could make a battery that fits the concave.
Different KV and stator design. The + and XR share the “hypercore” motor which is custom. While the OG V1 used a modified off the shelf motor.
You can tell it’s a + by the footpads, the + and XR will share the newer style.
Controller swap won’t work either, and at that point you might as well just buy a whole XR (which happens to use 18650’s like every other board… finally)
I would avoid fender batteries, changes weight distribution and really messes up how it rides. If you want to just swap the battery, look into the two-x system. I’ve been using it for 1000+mi with no issues and it gives me the range I want. It works on the V1 as well.
We’re you thinking switch to a XR controller?
I would controller swap to a VESC 6 with a Gyro IMU.
For the battery (because I thought it was a plus) I wanted to use 14S1 or 2p headway 38120 and build it into a arch shape.
Bonus no spot welding and durable vibration resistant connections.
Fuck it maybe I’ll rewind the stator.
Still maybe better than a Chinese clone hub.
If I forget about motor power, give it more range than the XR (easy) and for less than the pint… Still a win.
what AWG wire should i use to discharge p groups with from the balance plug? 1 amp only.
