I’ve understood that was the case for the SR Battery. I want to use some for a small, short range board in the future.
I read that they switched to 18650 li-on cells for the XR with has always made me wonder how they do it with a different chemistry…?
that theme is awesome! Its kinda like barbie world theme. i love it!
imagine you could carry a 10s3p pack in your backpack for group rides.
Thats what im talking about. I think 10s3p is a good amount of cells for a small board like boosted or other brands for everyday use like just get around the corner or to the bakery at sunny sundays. in this cases i dont need a board with tons of cells and milllion miles of range. Nobody needs this.Maybe you, but i think most ppl dont.
And just building boards having group rides in mind sounds pretty stupid to me but just my 2cent again.
Ugh. I bought a plastic 3A charger because the metal 6A one was too heavy. 
Also, if for the price of a boosted, all it can do is “just get around the corner or to the bakery”, seems excessive no? like a board half the price or less could do the same.
yeah thats true. Pricing is the most important part for performance and in case of a boosted it is just much to expensive.
But friends. Boosted is not sell for features like you talking. Is only sell for experience. Which mean support and experience for buy in shop. Is why they make price what is so can have experience.
This is true. The only electric skateboard you can get from Best Buy.
experience of an empty wallet for less range hahahahah
Are chinese companies going back to work the 10th of Feb? Or due to the virus spreading it is going to be further delayed?
Some factory are. But government have ask us and some other large factory to slowly start work. So not all worker starting now.
For reference, what would the cost be for one?
Depends on the form factor. I’m all in for the swappable battery, but that’s only me and my silly layouts.
The charger issue can be solved by actually making a rack plugged to a single powerful charger. So you have one base and just plug your packs in the rack.
Voltage sag is a truth but I expect this to be less of an issue when high voltage ESC become available.
Reduce number of p, raise number of s, win win situation for your system (less amps to run on the ESC for same power yet you have higher top speed too).
@Chricious yes it requires extra design to make reliable hot swap packs instead of buying off the shelf Chinese batteries. That’s your job to make the extra effort for customers to enjoy it simple. Or your choice not to, and the customer to accept this or not.
Good luck on your boards!
Edit : Actually who cares about on board BMS, just get the fucking pins and balance leads on each pack, plug a charge only BMS on your charger station. The dock manages everything every time your charge. Voilà, lightweight reliable packs.
foxconn makes basically every part that has electrons moving through it
build up some muscles, then it will be easier 
at least one who get my points hahahaha thank you my friend.
I wanna work with you hahahahha and believe me you and me are not alone in thinking this direction. Ideas always get beat down first, than adapted to get all the attention. Its a war in here.
This idea is awesome. problem solved. Next!
problem solved. Next!
I’m ready, when do we start then?
Well you pretty nailed me, yes I’m the inline madman from France! We can discuss all of this in PM then 
And no I don’t ride a board yet, oddly I have a gear drive ready and a new sk3 thanks to my Santa, and Paris trucks bored at home. Also got enough juice to build a 8s4p battery and charger for it, but I sold my ESCs to stack up budget for the projects!
And the inlines are itching again in my head lately!
Gonna drop my 0.2c here on the battery debate. Modular packs aren’t inherently flawed. Look at Hoyt’s solution. From a battery perspective, the packs function as they should together, and is comparable to a standard 10s3p pack, while being able to be swapped, independently charged, and taken on flights.
Same goes for NESE style packs. When assembled, they function as a standard battery would. Negligible losses mean that the greatest weakness of the pack is size, but moreover, is just the weakness of your cells.
Implementation is key imo. Boosted did technically have swappable packs, but were a hassle to change, and weren’t the best packs to begin with. As Jeff said above, with boosted, you were buying into an experience. Customer service, a community, power for the average Joe, and above all, it was convienient.
Hahhaha, didnt want to get you in trouble man, i am a very chilling dude.
It’s alright 
I was just contemplating that I went from literally having everything needed for a build to selling shit instead of building a board…
Logic 0 - Me 1
So yea let’s run something already!
