Marci Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hello, I have recently get a hoverboard for free. The problem is there is no low battery indicator instead when batery is low the board just goes off by bms. I have read about shunt the bms and changing battery but is there something else that i can do it is not problem when board goes of if there is some warning before. Is there some way to adjust batery low warning ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Shunting could lead to problems since this could allow you to drain the cells too much and ruin them, so that with the next charging one could get a fire hazard. (If such an ill designed hoverboard is not already a possible fire hazard...) Normally low battery warnings are implemented in the hoverboards firmware, so it can start to beep, blink, tilt, vibrate or whatsoever... One could put a voltage monitor with a buzzer to the battery, if there is enough space inside the hoverboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, if it isn't showing then it's most likely that this is an issue with your battery rather than the board itself. I would suggest replacing the battery as if there is no indication showing you this then as Chriull suggested you could risk under-charging and damaging the battery. Furthermore, there may not be an existing cut-off switch when over-charging the battery which can cause it to overheat. usually replacing the battery with a good quality cell can fix this issue. Hope this helps SWEGWAY PRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
