DIY Fault Finding on a Dead Hoverboard

Driveway Dudes Paul shows you how to fault-find and diagnose why a hoverboard is dead and just maybe get it working again.
Charger ? Battery ? Wiring ? Circuitry ?
Watch this video and Paul shows you how easy it is that you too may be able to fault-find and fix your own hoverboard.
Not all hoverboards may have the same faults though the most common would be the charger, the battery pack, wiring coming loose and in this case a faulty BMS board.
We reckon people have recycled a complete battery pack or worse a hoverboard because one cell or the BMS board developed a fault which could be an easy and cheap fix.

Same problem if someone find the solution the solution plz help

Sounds like the battery pack has had it. It’s not uncommon for one or more of the cells that make up the pack to fail then giving a false charged indication. Was it stored away not fully charged? A replacement battery pack should solve this

Hi Paul , have you made a video that show how you charged the batteries ?

As far as I know the battery on mine is not a problem. My problem is that the charger doesn’t charge it. When I plug it in it the charging light isn’t on the plug or hoverboard. The charger is fine it produces the voltage. So how can I fix the hoverboard. The port itself is good too and provides voltage to the first board it plugs into but I am not sure about the connection to the rest of the board.never mind figured it out

@Sova412 Жыл бұрын

I think that I found why is that is because mother board died and is need to be replaced

The battery gets to dead and charger won’t read. Take a drill battery and run a jumper wire + To + and -to- then plug the charger in and disconnect the drill battery. All good after.

what is the type of connector to use on the hoverboard cables please? I would like to repair a broken cable without having to buy a card to have the cable. Thanks a lot

I have a hoverboard, charger works, charging port work. When i plug port into board the right wheel seems to rock back and forth ever so slightly and it doesn’t charge. Any ideas?

@DrivewayDudes Жыл бұрын

Disconnect the battery pack and if you have a multimeter identify + and - on the xt connector and + and - on the charger plug. If battery pack voltage is low then you can charge it directly adapting a couple of pieces of wire. The charger light will let you know when it’s fully charged. Reconnect and if it still doesn’t work then there may be a problem with the main board

What should I do if my battery is directly saudered to the board?

@DrivewayDudes 2 жыл бұрын

Take note of the + and - and desolder. Option 1. When you get the replacement battery pack you can cut the plug off the wires and solder the + and - in the correct order to the board. Option 2. You may need to purchase xt60 or xt90 plugs for attaching to the wiring for the battery pack and the board. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how much a new battery pack is likely to cost? Thank you

@DrivewayDudes Ай бұрын

Online generally less than $€£40 and at a shop/store/retailer it would be more

I tried getting a new battery pack but I can't seems to find my exact battery. Can I use another model?

@DrivewayDudes 2 ай бұрын

The model name is not important. It’s the shape of the battery pack to fit into place. That shape is generally the same voltage that you would require for a hoverboard and the more mAh the longer the run time

I have two batteries like this. I took out the battery, removed the sleeve and checked each cell voltage on the connector that plugs into the BMS. Most cells were very low voltage at around 1-2v. I charged each cell without the BMS plugged in and made sure each one went to 4.2v. Reseal the battery pack and then try again. My batteries charged for a short while with a red light on the charger and then the light went green.
