you should update to 1.3.5.

 

It's a solid release and miles better that 1.2.2

3000+ km without any unexpected problem is rock solid release.

Moreover, there was people in this forum who will back to 1.2.2 if they could. So...I don't know. I would like to upgrade it, but I'm a bit scared of the unexpected shutdowns and fried motherboards of last updates. May be later...

Related to the bridges seemingly failing in conducting-state (hard to turn tire even with power off), and I don't think Ninebot-users have done the shunt-mod on their BMSs (at least I don't recall ever hearing anyone shunting a Ninebot), but seeing that there's an increased risk of the bridge failure with Ninebots, I'd suggest not to ever shunt a Ninebot. If the BMS cannot cut the power, your wheel becomes a ticking timebomb after you faceplant due to bridge-failure, as the battery is also likely short-circuited at that point and will dissipate most of the power (at least several hundred watts if not kilowatts?). How long will that take for it to reach the critical temperature, seconds or minutes?

With a big battery pack I wonder if it could vaporize the supply wires or BMS traces before the batteries reached a critical temperature and vented!  Even if that happened, the amount of damage inside the unit would be massive since a lot of other wiring and plastic would be melted.

Those things are always possible too (and "preferable" when comparing with the batteries going up in flames ;)). In Vee's burnt MSuper-board, the legs of the mosfets themselves had actually melted/blown away :o  Guess those LiPos have so low internal resistance, that the currents can get really high (hundreds of amps?).

Is this damage caused by the bms not cutting off during excess load?

Seems that these are current sensing resistors, that are charred - but is not really to be seen on the foto?

Could be "just" an overheat issue - i would assume, that the mosfets would die before the resistors?

Imho BMS cut off should be the last safety measure, that the cables/boards/battery cells don't start burning. To keep excess load under controll should be the duty of the firmware in combination with a good design.

Here's the burn mark on the battery pack. There might be some more inside the blue plastic cover but I have not opened it yet.

if you look at the BMS board picture in 

this charred part looks like one of the flaps connecting a cell with the board. Strange that this got as hot ... could be anything from an overheated cell, bad contact or whatever blown in the BMS. And this caused by some excess load from the MB/motor?

A bad solder (Tack Weld) connection will cause burning like that.  I wonder if it started by the issue posted here:  

Maybe the vibration/wear caused the tack weld to come free, which in turn caused the heating and burning.  Or with enough pounding, I could see the Inner and outer layers of a cell coming together.  + and -

Might be time to actually USE the Double Sided Tape installed on the side of the NineBot battery to hold it still.

Burn!  

... about a burn.  So it's a Burn burn. :)
