Much appreciated sir! Thank you for taking the time to explain stuff to me.

Mooch is the battery og He single handedly made vaping much safer when mech mods were popular . You knew which batteries to run and how low u could go with each He also called out all of the fakes

Thank you!

🤣🤣🤣

Lol woaaah-ly fack bud!

I know this is a year late question but can you charge a onewheel standing up? It's takes up less space lol

@derekchurch3538 Yes.

Thank you! I appreciate that.

@@TheBoardGarage I have a question. For extended periods of storage, you say to keep the battery about 40% to 60%, is this an absolute? Or does storing it as close to 40% to 60% also acceptable ? Such as storing at 70% to 80% ?

@@azndemonlord54 It's probably fine for shorter periods, but if you're talking about months, then you'd be better served by discharging the battery further. blog.epectec.com/battery-storage-and-charge-management-best-practices

My charger doesn’t turn green when it is 100% so I just look at my app for the percentage any tips on what I can do about the charger

​@@miguelsalazar9147 Mine doesn't turn red right away when the app indicates 100%. It takes about 15 more minutes. Does the green LED turn on when the charger is plugged into the wall, but not the board? It should turn red when you plug it in to the board. If not, your power supply may be broken. Or the green LED is burned out. But you say it keeps charging well over 100%. How do you know this? The newer app does not give you enough diagnostic information to tell you current is being drawn at any point in the charging cycle. My original post does not apply anymore yo the new app. Measure the current going to the power supply (117 VAC) at the beginning of charging. When the app says it's 98% full, start monitoring the current again. If the current slows down, then I suspect it's your LED. Everything else is working. How many miles do you have on your board? After a while (2000 miles on mine) , my battery was doing strange things. Like going from 17% full to 0% within a few feet. Yeah, I'm still not happy about that nose-dive. Or charging, and staying at 100% no matter what - which is a bummer because the new updated app with haptic buzz, shuts the board down. And you have to cycle power every ten feet. Can you borrow a charger from a friend? To see if it's the charger, or the Onewheel that is broken. Or you can buy a new charger, and if it still does not work, see if FM will buy the charger back. Or take note of how long it takes to charge a battery. Then put the charger on a timer and charge it, with the timer timing out at the right moment. You can be conservative and guess a time for 95%. After that, monitor as you have been. As a side note, the LED my just be burned out. It's rare, but if you take the charger apart, and troubleshoot the LED, let us know how you too it apart. The power supplies are sealed well. To test the LED, make sure the green LED is disconnected, and apply the appropriate voltage and current. For the proper voltage and current, you can use a 9-volt battery in series with a 360-390 ohms. Now that I think about it, the LEDs may be in a single package. There will be three prongs coming from the LED package. Connect the LEDs in parallel. If the green and red LEDs turn on, then the green LED is good. But this does not necessarily mean the power is not broken. If you don't know too much about electronics, seek guidance. It's too easy to brick your board if you do something wrong. Good luck, float on my friend. PS: After saving my money, I purchased a second Pint (at $750 I could not resist), and a GT. My original Pint since then has been a garage ornament. I did not ride for about 4 months - oh the pain. Now I have a backup.

Unfortunately I don't know what it's called. I've found it on Amazon by searching for 2 prong AC power cord.

I’ve found it as figure 8 cable, but idk what the correct name is

As did I. Navy trained FT.

What is CBXR versus the XR? I know what an XR is from FM's catalog, but I never saw a CBXR designation. Thank you.

@@TheAnimeist Its a 30 mile range battery for the XR board itself. Its an internal battery.

OWCE App?

@@lionelhernandez34 Onewheel Community Edition, available for iOS and Android. It's a good app to have in addition to the main Onewheel app, primarily for checking on the battery's individual cell voltage levels.

If your board is new, I'd say it's a decent idea to leave it on the charger an hour or so after it's turned green when you charge it. I've also read that folks have good results from just leaving it on the charger for several hours as a balance charge once a month.

Did you fix it by balancing?

@@lautarogatti I balanced it for two days, rode again and it cut off and nosedived without warning, put me in the hospital 😓 No riding for a while, Future Motion won't even cover repairs

@@hotelroyal334 oh that's terrible! Did it shut off or warned you the other time at 68%? I have a pint x and mine started buzzing low battery at 58% but didn't die. Now I've been balancing it for a few days hoping to fix it...

@@lautarogatti last time it warned me and nicely slowed down and brought the nose up and let me off, this time one second alarm then crash 💀 Your method seems to work for lots of other people, hoping yours fixes, Be very careful 🙏

No, that's not necessary. The lithium ion cells used in these packs don't need that sort of attention. They incur a cycle from an empty-to-full and full-to-empty charge/discharge. If you only go to half, and then charge it, that's chemically/electrically a half cycle. So you're free to use the board to 20%, 75%, etc. and just charge it. It won't have any appreciable effect on the longevity of the battery any more than any other cycle uses would.

@@TheBoardGarage thank you for the detailed explanation. Keep up the the great content!

Thanks dude I watched this whole video just for that question you asked.

If the battery and the charger are the only parts dead, it should be fixable. Those kinds of batteries aren’t that easy to come by anymore, but they can be ordered.

Its a lot like the 80/20 rule, it really depends on personal use and how long you will use the device, faster charging has more potential to damage the battery but the exact damage is debatable, generally speaking its safe to charge a battery below the rate it discharges. Using a fast charger frequently is putting more charge cycles on a battery, that's going to cause performance loss regardless of the type of charger used so it's a trade of convience and longevity.

It doesn’t really matter all that much. Discharge level doesn’t have an effect on the cells as far as balance goes. The board dying at earlier percentages is usually the BMS miscalculating how much energy is left, or that the cells are so unbalanced that just leaving it plugged in isn’t going to do much in the long term. Imbalance is a symptom of a worn or bad pack, and 72 hour balance charges don’t really fix actual issues that may come up.

@@TheBoardGarage I'm a lil confused to be honest. Checking the cells & percentage with OWCE; at 10% cells were 2,86-2,96V. A few secs later the battery percentage crashed directly to 1% and the cells were at 2,6-2,82v. I had read that the recomended procedure was to discharge than balance for a couple of days (once a month or so for maintenance) If you say there isnt much effect to discharge at 1%, I'm pretty happy since its a pain in the A$$ to do so :) BTW thanks for the quick reply ;)

Discharging the pack doesn’t usually do anything for the cells. It may help the BMS to get a more accurate sense of the range from top to bottom of the charge, but if it is going down below 2.7v per cell and still reading 10%, then that’s pretty far off. Chances are the pack is worn out and it’s dropping in voltage faster than the BMS expects it to, since the percentage meter isn’t based on voltage, it’s based on how much energy is consumed.

@@TheBoardGarage Thanks Mario! Much appreciated. Checking your new Videos...

It sounds like it's just worn out. Electrically, the CBSP is the same as a Quart. It's 15 cells, in 1p. So all those charges are happening across a single cell. If you're using the board aggressively, you're aging the cells faster, and with only a single cell in parallel (stock battery has 2 in parallel), you're doubling the age rate. It sounds like you're just currently at 70% of the capacity left of those cells. Balancing isn't likely to do anything, if you take it off the charger and the voltage immediately drops. The pack is likely worn out.

I amazed at the speed of your reply, thank you so much. I think I may just buy another CBSP, it was a fun pack! Original 4212 battery was averaging 10-12 miles anyhow.

I have the same issue with my CBXR. It caps at 77 and takes almost 2 days to go to 100. You need to balence the board for longer before a group ride.
