Opening Inboard M1 batteries

[The_Cremest]

Hi everybody,

maybe a stupid question but how do I open the batteries of the Inboard M1? I have two batteries that I can’t recharge anymore… I guess the cells need to be exchanged?

Appreciate any tips.

Thanks.

I don’t know how to open this pack, but li-ion batteries are very dangerous and if they’ve reached an unsafe discharge level, they may be permanently ruined.

Make sure you understand the risks before opening it.

Inboard M1 Battery

Hi guys, i’m new on esk8. I have Inboard M1 and 2 original batteries. And i got max distance ~ 12 miles in intermidiate mode. I read that battery not good, and thinking that it’s ok because: different weather, temperature, torque and riders weight. My Inboard goes 210 miles in total with these batteries and all batteries died. I’m thinking that it’s very strange and unnormal. Because all 18650 elements sustain ~200 cycles charging/recharging. But Ok.I bought the Samsung 25R and replace original …

I believe there should be either screws holding it together or possibly snap locked. Someone opened these before. Do be careful when opening.

Edit: it’s glued on. So you’ll have to pull it apart with a heat gun. Or just use something to break it apart.

Thanks @LeonCamero , I believe there the nub at the bottom may be part of a snap lock. Let’s see if anybody has a non-destructive idea even though I’m not holding my breath.

As far as I’ve seen and read, you’ll have to pry open the case. If there is another way, that’ll be helpful.
