How do you charge your longboard?

ha ha tha’s funny. Youre right and that is confusing. If you were to use a gas generator to spin a wheel and hook your board’s wheel up to it, and then put on the brakes, then you could charge your batteries. I wonder how it would go when they were full. seems depending on your bms, and if it uses tiny resistors to balance, which is most likely, then you could way overcharge your cells if you weren’t monitoring. Is this a scheme not to buy a charger or am I way off in your confusing plan

So I’m assuming your lipo batteries are not in a closure in order to do this ?

For charging I have to split the 10s in 2 x 5s. And for this I have to pull a plug in the middle. The white ones are for balancing.

That actually seems pretty smart! never thought of that before

You have a diagram for this ??

Here I drawed a diagram for you. I didn’t draw the balance wires. The xt 60 females I cut in the middle, you can see it in the picture above.

Here is a picture from all components.

You like my enclosure?

Cool thanks. I’m running (3) 3s 5000mah I gotta figure this out now lol

Update: haha diagrams after diagrams, I don’t think I could do it because I’m using 3 batteries. I don’t think there’s a way to do it Think I could only do it if I had 2 batteries

Here is a solution for 9s Lipo. You charge 6s and 3s seperatly.

Thanks for the idea, diagram and help with the 9s Could charge all at once without having to charge each individually
