Looking to sell a board I built. I just bought an EScooter, and it is a much better fit for my college campus life right now. Much cheaper than I built it for since I’m just trying to get it out of here. Nothing wrong with it, just kinda want to get the money. I’m in La Jolla, San Diego.
Specs:
200kv with 6s 8Ah battery
10-mile range
20 mph speed
(Benchmarked at 160-pound rider)
I have a loop key that connects those two prongs. I have a LiPo charger that connects to the xt-90 and the balance port. The on switch is for the esc. While the loop key is in, which is required for riding, it is waterproof since there is never any current running through the balance port while not charging.
There is in fact voltage running through balance wires at all times
We troubleshoot batteries by probing the balance wires whether they are plugged in or not
If water were to touch, youd have a short circuit
Well yah, but any volt/multi meter would be connecting that circuit. While not connected to anything, there isnt any current. The meter is acting as a switch for the balance wires. Any small current that would be going through doesn’t seem like it would matter though.
Fair. Wasn’t sure about currents running through balance. Just kinda figured that the low voltage difference between each of the cells and the naturally high resistance of water and the small amount from wires would be fine.
Lived in California my whole life, so water on the ground also wasn’t my highest priority
