A little speculation here: Begode is changing the way they do things. The old charge ports used to be hot so that the charger could read the battery voltage directly. Adam (Wrongway) stated fairly often that he thought this was dangerous, and Begode was the only one doing this. By putting a diode in the line from the charge port to the BMS, a short circuit due to some foreign object in the port is prevented. What that means is that for the charger to read the voltage, there must be a bleed resistor from a high voltage source so that the new blocking diode creates a voltage drop that charges the battery through the diode with a feeble current. The charger then reads this voltage and subtracts the nominal voltage drop across the diode. The old way of direct reading will also work if there is no noise on the power line. Simple things like a refrigerator turning on can produce enough noise to interrupt the measurement and cause a shutdown. Sometime next year, I expect the charger vendors will have their fixes in place and this problem will disappear. The side effect is the requirement to compensate for the voltage drop across the diode. This means you won't get a full charge and balancing because the old charger has been faked out. The diode is the simplest and cheapest way to fix the hot port problem, but not the only way. So, this is speculation on my part. This solution to someones fears has side effects. Yes, an infant could pop the cap on the old port and stick little fingers in there for a shock.

I admire all of your knowledge and sharing it here. I just want to plug, play, and ride but I know it would help me to get underneath things.

Dude... i would neva have thought of that .... good stuff

i like how only people that know would understand what you just did in this tutorial

Those fumes are good for you in every state but California.

LOL, yea less than 4 hours. I haven't had that problem with my Extreme, but good to know your solution without having to figure it out myself (I would if I had too).

👍

So what happens if you accidentally set a roger charger to 140V and recharge a wheel with this mod? Will it actually reach 140v? (Did you test it?) Thx

Electric engineer much ? 😃🤓😄 R u and Marty both retired engineers?

My xt-60 melted on 3rd gear

Isnt it safer to buy Veteran or Inmotion wheels?
