Swappable Onewheel Batteries - They're Possible

I've spent the last year working on this challenge.
I believe the VOW Swap Plug will allow dedicated VESC Onewheel riders to change their packs out and get more out of their machine.
More info and demonstrations are to come, but if you're interested in getting in line to obtaining one, check out my website at vow.systems
(youtube wont let me use links yet haha)

You and Tony should collaborate to make this a reality for the next generation of Floatwheels. That way it could be incorporated into the design of the board and ease the swapping process by making it as tool-free as possible. Thank you for sharing!

I'd love this to happen and Tony definitely doesn't need my help haha

My guess is swappable would be really hard to get decently waterproof. Gaskets seem like the only semi viable option at least until they wear out

Bro made a swappable battery case before vescify part 3 🦆

You're on a whole other level, very impressive! Keep up the great work!!

Wouldn't have been possible without vesc tech itself, you'll always be thanked for that sir surfdado :)) 😅

Great work man, I'm super excited to see these out in the wild. I would love to see a video of the whole process of installing your plug into different battery boxes/wheels and the whole process of swapping your battery from start to finish.

Very impressive. This has been the dream for so long. Battery swap.

👏👏👏👏👏 Amazing! And there I was thinking an anti-spark switch would get the job done. I'm not ready for this on my build, but the eventual goal is swappable batteries and your connector seems like my best path forward.

I feel like making a dedicated “explorer” build would be perfect for this. Own the group rides with like two Samsung 50s packs, while everyone is charging you get to session a curb or whatever. Defo interested, incredible work 💖

and infinite range too! While you riding the parking lot the 1st battery pack could be charging up.

I’ve got 2 XR batteries rotated 180 degrees in a box with the leads sticking out the front. I never wait for a charge and it’s amazing.

Also I’m running lil Foccer 3.1 and my capacitors are holding up good. I was worried for a while, but now I’m just used to the spark.

Having swappable batteries would be absolutely unreal. We do a lot of rides over 100 miles. Or even when you're just beating on the board doing crazy Offroad stuff like we do being able to swap batteries in the field would just be amazing!

Interesting stuff, Both OneWheel and EUCs have alot in common. I have noticed EUCs getting huge volts increases from 84volts up to 156+ in the last few years and the plugs ark bigtime. some of the pro manufactures have started to make cold battery connectors that seems to be woken up by the control board with wake up circuit. Something that is not talked about enough. this adds extra complexity requiring the battery BMS and control circuit to be compitable.

something you could do to test number of safe cycles of pluggin/unpluggin, mount them on linear rails or something and have a motor push them together and pull apart, and measure connection resistance when they are connected and every maybe 100 cycles check the wear on the connector

@uhjyuff2095 7 ай бұрын

what is the delay time period between cycles? I mean how long do vesc capacitors take to drain to zero electricity with no battery connected?

Great job! It seems like the big downside to this is losing all extra wiring to your battery box though. That would make it impossible to use any BMS that requires an independent charge path, LEDs, CAN wires for a smart BMS, right?

@vesconewheel 7 ай бұрын

You do lose a bit yes, but one of the plugs versions has a separate charge path and the other has a 3 pin signal for lights, depending on if you're building for pint/gt or xr

Wow, amazing work. Thank you. I loved the XT60 in the rail, very trick. While not foreseeing a need for swappable battery in my future, there is a great need overall. I'm increasingly annoyed at FM, having just bricked two 4209's by frying their BMS. Why oh why can't I just purchase these things...

@MrDmadness 7 ай бұрын

How did you manage to brick 2 boards ?

@deanaoxo 7 ай бұрын

@@MrDmadness that's the problem, I don't know. My 4209 wouldn't turn off, which is indicative of a bad BMS, so I pulled a BMS out of another board, and plugged it in incorrectly(out of sequence)so while I know what's wrong with one, I still don't know what caused the first.

@MrDmadness 7 ай бұрын

@@deanaoxo respectfully. Would not turn 9ff sounds more like a bus failure or the button contacts. Likely the bms you got was not rated for peak discharge OR posdiblly you did not verify the l1, l2 connections. Ohewheel reversed them on their plug ( you may have reversed the polarity of the circuit )

I've only ever ridden my XR, looking to build one from the ground up for a cross country trip. A swappable battery would be massive, gonna need to get ahold of an electronics guru. Question, how much battery power does it take to charge the capacitor? could you have a small dedicated battery pack to keep it charged separate from the swappable battery? As far as I understand capacitors charge super quickly so if you had like 8 cells (Idk what is actually feasible just an example) that could last like 40-50 charges before needing to be swapped out then you could make the main battery just a single connection, in my mind I think having the battery slide along the rail into a connection with no disassembly needed, idk if there's a workaround to the varying tolerances of rails but that sure would be something.
