Hi, i have a boosted board first generation and my battery is dead. Can somebody explain how i can replace the batteries and the board will work later on :) I went to an batterie shop and they told me that the batteries are broke for sure they got new batteries but they said it will not work because of the BMS (battery management system) So my question is: what batteries should i buy which tools do i need and how can i make my boosted board work again. If i charge it now it only runns for 2-3 minutes and then dead :( the battery shop already took the batteries out from the board and the would make a new akku for me but i also would try it on my own i would highly appriciate if somebody can help me to get my board fixed, i am from central europe and the shipping to USA would cost me 200 USD. So i would rather try it on my own before sending it to boosted for 200 usd and then pay additional for the repair work thank you all for any hints BR Simon
You will need to replace the dead 12S1P pack of A123 26650 cells with new ones by spot welding a new pack together. Here’s a battery diagram.
Anyone got any updates removing the old battery completely? Following the guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7LOwbEp… , was able to strap a secondary battery to the board, works; but the old battery is dead weight yet is still needed by the BMS. I assume there is a message being sent back to the motor circuit.
I have a V1, kinda not happy with the distance. Is there no way at all to buy a V2 battery and somehow make the BMS compatible with the V1? Read the responses and diagram lol, not making a new battery. What can I buy? Besides a new board lol
Just swap out the boosted ESC for the flipsky duel get a new remote and enjoy the freedom of using any battery you can fit in your enclosures
i ordered all the parts and will try to make a new v1 battery pack for 110€ stay tuned:)
Change of plans. I just swapped out the boosted v1’s original electronics with something else. I took out the 39.6 volt battery with the BMS and took out the esc (circuit board) Currently I am using a 24/36 volt esc I got from eBay and I am using a Ryobi 40 volt 6.0 ah lithium battery. I ran it Thursday night (8/13). it ran pretty good. I am sharing the motor wires from each motor for the single connection. In other words 2 motor wires from each motor are into each if the 3 connections. And I have to run it without the hall sensors. Because for some strange reason, when the hall sensors are plugged in, I can not turn on the power….. however with the hall sensors unplugged, I can turn on the power. Other than that, it runs pretty decent. Only thing is jerky take off. I think its because there is no hall effect.
Hi @jacobmethner , Im planning to replace my v1 battery pack (all batteries are dead and not reviving) and put together a new one. Im based out of Texas. Need your help in understanding the disassembling process. Appreciate your help
