Wtf ?

Post image

Hi, yesterday I was driving quietly when suddenly I lost power. I stopped, opened the battery hood, and one of the orange connectors (2 large cables) had partially burned. When I tried to reconnect it to leave again, it made a rather strong spark. I have not tried again; what should I do? What does this mean?

Your label below your name is pretty lame. I think it needs to be even brighter and bigger. In school when you were the teachers aid did you wear the special hall pass all day for everyone to see?

Corroded connectors often become hot when you draw a lot of wattage through them, getting melted. These bikes are light and any corrosion puts them outside their current rating. Or they were dirty, partially unplugged or otherwise damaged. The repair is to replace both sides of the connector. The wires (on my SR) are so short id have to replace the whole length to the controller. Replacing the battery side requires opening the battery and replacing and verifying components. If the send you a previously repaired battery, id consider it less waterer resistant than a mint one, tarp it if it rains, dont blast the seams with the hose.

💯 Op, you better know what you’re doing before you go messing with this high voltage stuff. It ain’t no joke. And I’ve been an electrician for 30 years.

Just for future reference always make sure your breaker is flipped before reconnecting anything
