I can imagine that you can loose the cap for the charging plug while riding it is nice but we have to deal with too much vibration. Maybe you lock it with a pin or whatever
it is a thread protector that I got at the local hardware store. I bought 3 of them. there cheap. It is soft and fits tight so it doesn’t come off easily. Time will tell though.
nice job, very clean!
Almost finished. Need to screw down the rear cover. Put trucks back on and swap out motors. Then road test
I’m charging my battery now. The battery meter says 100% but the charger still has red light. Should I keep on charging?
I’d say yes - these battery indicators do not measure voltage very precisely and might show 100% quite early.
Lol is the labeling so you don’t mix up what green and red mean? Or is that for our benefit?
Maybe just plain OCD
Where did you get the charging port?
dont’t mind the meter at 100% and the led still red, it your BMS working and balancing the cell. (This process may take some Time depending on the bms you’ve bought). Always wait for the Green light. (This mean the bms don’t need current anymore, so it is safe to go)
I think it is one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Charging-Replacement-Hoverboard-Balance-Scooter/dp/B01A99T37C

it’s gonna catch fire!
The battery was their problem, not the connector… Research!!!
Edit: in fact the form factor of their connector in pretty nice and make the connection easy. ( and charger are pretty cheap)
I know, it was a joke.
That looks amazing! You are killing it on this build!
I bought it on Ebay. It’s fairly small and fit the connector on my charger perfectly. It also came with the switch but I couldn’t use it because it’s a momentary switch.
