Brand new builder here.Seem to have run into an issue . Hoping you may have a recommendation. Issues being its no longer working. I purchased a charging port from m-board. Charging Port . And the battery was given to me by another build enthusiast. Its a samsung 36v 10ah of some sort. Since it had the same JST connector, I was advised to cut the ends of both the charging port and battery and connect them by way of soldering. Since the battery worked before, I figured it would work out just fine. Well that wasnāt the case and now doesnāt charge. Now I come to you in hopes that this is a salvageable situation.
I donāt know much but If it were me Iād start by checking the polarityā¦from the charger all the way to the battery. Iād also check my solder job and battery/charger voltage.
ah ok thanks. I already had FG tape there to hold the wires down so I figured it would be usable. Should I replace it or is it just something to keep in mind for the future?
also the solder joints did look janky to me too, but a hard pull didnāt move it so I decided to keep them.
Check with @Fosterqc and the Battery Clearing House thread, someone mentioned talking to the BCH people to try and find out one way or the other.
To me, they dont look like they have the three laser weld lines in the middle of the bottom of the can. Hard to tell from the picture on that listing though.
