This months Open Social takes place on Saturday 16th July at 7pm. That date will see us just one week away from Dublin Maker. You’ll find TOG members in a state of terror, that their projects and things are not ready. You’ll find them hunched over laptops and soldering irons. Drop in, pat them on the head, and tell them that everything will be ok.

E-Bike Battery Surgery

battery deadOne of our long term visitors is an e-biker. One of his batteries was on the blink. There was no output on the normal output connectors, but there appeared to be an output via the charge port. We suspected that the balance circuit was shot, but when we opened the battery case, it looked like one of the cells was physically damaged. Lots of pics here.

We ordered a replacement cell. When we removed the bad cell, we noticed some others damaged. It looks like we need 4 replacement cells in all. We plan to cannibalise these from an old spare battery. We tested the remaining cells and they seem able to take a charge and deliver reasonable current. A 2 Ohm power resistor came in handy. Check back with us to see how the rest of the repair went.
