I realize that this is a very long video talking about plugging in your Onewheel. However, after years of seeing the same questions come up on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, etc., it seemed worthwhile to attempt to give a bit more information on the general goings on when it comes to charging your board, whether it's a Onewheel XR, Onewheel Pint or Pint X, or even the Onewheel GT.

I appreciate this video so much. The battery on my pint does seem like the capacity has shrank to the point that my range has reduced considerably and after watching this video I am one of those people who would unplug it once the light was green. I also usually charge my one wheel to the 100% mark and keep it there even through winter of like 3 months of not using my board. I'm glad to know that I can do something about it by balancing the cells and have learned a great deal about how to properly care for a battery. Thanks!

Thank you! Amazing explanation and education right there. I've had my XR since one month before you (Oct 2018) and I've never taken it off the charger for any reason other than to ride it. So for four years (and 3500 miles) it's been charging. As you said - he less you worry about it the better. And I worry about it none. Although the safety factor you mention may need to come into play more with me. And my board gives me the same range that it did when I got it. I can't perceive any difference. And I've worried about it for not one second over those 4 years. That to me is worth the chance that I may have to replace it some day. But four years in and still perfect. I think the no worry route is best. Well except for the safety.

@NitroRoo 2 года назад

@TheAnimeist 2 года назад

At least for the Pint, if you leave the board and app on when you start charging, you can monitor the voltage and temperatures. The battery temperature increases as it charges. When the light on the charger turns green, the temperature starts to drop, and the regen amps start to level out. This starts to happen around the ~97% battery mark. So when your charger is green, you're not really there.

@Siberius- Год назад

Such an awesome video. 21:54 - How long should one ideally leave the board plugged in after the charge light turns green? (each time they charge the board) or, what do you usually do? I imagine the time varies, but just so I have a rough idea of what we're talkin' about here. I don't know if you mean an extra hour, or far longer (without it just living on the charger). 28:40 - It seems we would have to know the BMS threshold to have a more accurate answer (I am hearing about these things for the first time lol), but yea a general guide would be cool. I liked the point at the end there with using only the middle part of the battery (percent-reading wise). How it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to just concede a chunk of the battery's ability now, in order to make sure you one day aren't maybe forced to concede a chunk of the battery. I'm curious about your thoughts on fast-charging. The ideal practice is apparently to use a slower charger, and then only use a fast charger when ya need to (group rides or whatever). The heat alone also seems to be a bit of a concern there.

@GeneWuzHear Год назад

Thank you for this. Doing my best to be a good battery powered device owner. Some things I'm still unsure of. Say I run my onewheel down under 20% but I don't see myself riding for a few days. Should I partially recharge to +/-40%? Or is it better to fully charge and ride it down to safe storage levels? On that same note, if I rode from 100% to 70% one day and have a short ride in mind for the next day, should I recharge then ride or just roll from 70% even if it's likely to run down below 20%? Thanks!

So let's say I'm going riding with friends and they all have fully charged batteries but my battery is at let's say 40%. Can I charge my battery up 100% from 40% or is it better to drain my battery to 10% or less and then charge it up to 100%? Basically is it bad to charge a battery up to 100% from 70%, 50%, or 30% (random percentage examples)?

@hugueslabbe7811 2 года назад

Awesome content! Keep up the good work! Would love to learn more about fast charging and its potential harm to battery health/longevity. My understanding is that fast charging a CBXR (at say 6A) should not be more harmful than normal charging a stock XR battery (at say 3A). Would be great to get a confirmation from an expert ;).

@tankmlee 2 года назад

Its a lot like the 80/20 rule, it really depends on personal use and how long you will use the device, faster charging has more potential to damage the battery but the exact damage is debatable, generally speaking its safe to charge a battery below the rate it discharges. Using a fast charger frequently is putting more charge cycles on a battery, that's going to cause performance loss regardless of the type of charger used so it's a trade of convience and longevity.

@robinoja 2 года назад

Exactly the kind of info I was looking for since recently buying my first onehweel. One question tho - how often should I balance the cells? Let's say I ride every day. Should I leave it plugged in every night? Once a week? Thanks again, super informative video.

@TheBoardGarage 2 года назад

If your board is new, I'd say it's a decent idea to leave it on the charger an hour or so after it's turned green when you charge it. I've also read that folks have good results from just leaving it on the charger for several hours as a balance charge once a month.

My solution to the "pop" arcing problem was to put a cheap in-line AC switch between the wall outlet and the plug leading to the charger. That moves the arc from expensive components to essentially a disposable component. My charging protocol is to plug the charger into my unpowered board, then flip the in-line AC switch. The charger and switch are left plugged into the wall outlet all the time.

What does it mean when I have a cell out of balance and the other cells come down but the low call stays the same? I'm talking about when it's on the charger. The app still says it's full, green light on, and the total voltage data says it's nearly full, but if you add up the cell voltages they don't equal fully charged, quite a less in fact.

@drumstickscarecrow 2 года назад

I feel like part of the problem with OW charging for most people is that they generally don't have a way to see/know exactly how balanced the cells are in their battery. Last weekend, I asked a OW group on Facebook about how I might be able to actually see what each cell is at so that I know just how balanced the battery pack is. The Onewheel app from FM doesn't give such info, and the group on FB directed me to the OWCE app. Problem solved in that regard. While watching this video, my Pint was on the stock charger, and I decided to unplug it and check the apps right after the light turned green. Sure enough, the cells weren't totally balanced (or fully charged by the looks of it), and they were around 4.13 or 4.14 volts each. Having watched this vid as well as checking OWCE, now I know I've been unplugging the OW far too soon. I've always just unplugged it when the light on the charger turned green. Apparently I haven't been getting a solid/balanced charge (pretty much) since I got it a year ago. Thanks so much for the vid.

@joe5834 Год назад

Mario, please help...I can't find much info on a CBSP battery specifically and mine charges to 62.9v when fully charged but after unplugging from wall and turning on the board I have 58.4v which translates to around 70% according to chibattery voltage chart. I get around 6 miles where I used to get 10+, I use a BYOB to charge on remote trails occasionally following the directions to do so, I have put around 2000 miles over 6 month span, I have tried balancing 24 hr but have not yet done a 72 hr balance. Any advice or thoughts on potential issues? Thanks in advance

@TheBoardGarage Год назад

It sounds like it's just worn out. Electrically, the CBSP is the same as a Quart. It's 15 cells, in 1p. So all those charges are happening across a single cell. If you're using the board aggressively, you're aging the cells faster, and with only a single cell in parallel (stock battery has 2 in parallel), you're doubling the age rate. It sounds like you're just currently at 70% of the capacity left of those cells. Balancing isn't likely to do anything, if you take it off the charger and the voltage immediately drops. The pack is likely worn out.

@asmokingumbrella 2 года назад

Great content! I have a question: to maintain battery longevity and maximum range is it *ideal* to completely drain the battery before charging it?

@TheBoardGarage 2 года назад

No, that's not necessary. The lithium ion cells used in these packs don't need that sort of attention. They incur a cycle from an empty-to-full and full-to-empty charge/discharge. If you only go to half, and then charge it, that's chemically/electrically a half cycle. So you're free to use the board to 20%, 75%, etc. and just charge it. It won't have any appreciable effect on the longevity of the battery any more than any other cycle uses would.

If your primary interest currently is just riding more, then I'd get the charger. I'm not a fan of the CBXR to begin with, I think it's not a very good idea or execution. And if the TORque pack you're talking about is made by ChiBattery, I'd personally avoid that as well. I have a spare XR fast charger I'm not going to use anymore, feel free to email me or reach out on IG, I'm going to list it in the marketplace for cheap, I'm trying to keep the shop inventory trim. Best of luck in your future build.

hi mate awesome video.. could i possibly trouble you for some advise..iv just bought a Pint.. when i charge it..the charger light eventualy goes green..then when i turn in pint..the white lights show battery needs charging still. so i plug charger bak in for seconds then battery white lights show 100%. seems odd..also when i first got the Pint.. the white lights on board were on as it charged..for some reason now they arent on whilst charging..any help would be greatly appreciated

It sounds like the BMS is broken, and may have damaged the battery along with it.

@@TheBoardGarage thankyou for the reply.. as i say. if i unplug charger then replug it for few seconds . then turn it on. the battery shows 100% and the battery is lasting the miles that it should.. also what is the BMS?? speed controller??

What's your explaining is called inrush current. When you plug the power supply into the wall there is a quick spike in current absorption due to charging the circuit. The same thing happens when you plug the power supply into the one wheel there's an inrush current as well. Inrush current happen in all modern switch mode power supplies at some level or another. The XR obviously has some voltage regulation and bulk capacitors that create an inrush spike to occur. The only real damage that occurs is the erosion of the connector to the board or AC plug. One way to help is to install a in-line AC plug switch they're cheap on Amazon and other places. This allows you to plug both plugs in and then hit a switch to activate. The load of the inrush arc and erosion will happen on the switch surfaces, good news is they're cheap to replace.

Hi Mario, I have a question. I usally ride my Onewheel Pint but I rarely drain my battery below 50%, then I go back home and the next day, I plug it on charge ready to ride again. Does it affect the Onewheel battery life? Should I drain more battery percentage before charging?

@TheBoardGarage 2 года назад

The amount that you drain the battery at one doesn't affect it any more or less than it would for the equivalent use. 100-50% is half a cycle. 100-0% is a full cycle. Just be mindful of allowing it to balance.
