    EVE ICR 18650 cells in Swytch GO+

    All I know is that they mentioned in that video that EVE was in some sort of bother.

    The red wire is soldered to the PCB. The PCB connects all the components with tracks of tin/lead solder covered copper tracks instead of wire. The tracks are shiny grey metal. The MOSFETs are at the bottom of your photo and the battery connection is to the left. Those tracks have to carry all...

    The point is that Jake Tapper (CNN) said Trump was like Hitler. All governments do weird stuff You'll see that Trump and his crew are much more focused on getting a better deal for the average US citizen. We could do with a team like that running our country. Do you know anybody, who likes what...

    charging a battery help

    Good point. These devices are made for world markets, and some countries don't use plugs with fuses, so it would make sense to have the fuse inside the device rather than in the plug, and they fitted a UK plug that had an unused fuse in it.

    The climbing is normal because your meter has a battery in it. It applies a voltage when you measure the resistance, then it measures the current flowing through the resistance to calculate its value. There are capacitors across the battery wires, so the meter starts to charge them while you're...

    I didn't say it was just EVE in trouble. This thread is about EVE cells.

    No pins should be connected together. Only the outer pins are used.

    You might not need new controllers. Find out what's wrong first.

    OK, that means open circuit, which is unusual. What do you get when you touch the probes together? If what you're saying is all correct, then the logical conclusion would be that you've blown the track on the pcb that goes from the battery wire to the MOSFETs. That might be an easy repair if...

    You tested right, but we need to interpret the results. Take your meter set to measure resistance (Omega for Ohms). Test 1: Hold the probes in the air and observe the reading. Test 2: Touch them together and observe the reading. Test 3: Put one on the controller's red battery wire and the other...

    I remember loads about when i was 6 years old. It's easy for me to remember because we moved house when I was 7 years old: Swimming in isleworth swimming pool Watching superman matinees at the cinema in Isleworth. We had to use a bus to get there The steam trains going under the bridge in...

    It's because of them that EVE is in trouble.

    When the probes are in the air, that's open circuit. When you touch them together, it's short circuit. You get a different number on the display for those two situations.

    Was it controller 1 or 2 that had the burnt connectors? When you say nothing, is it short circuit (0 Ohms) or open circuit (infinite Ohms)?

    I don't understand what you're saying. the results should be: Controller 1 Red to blue =? Red to green = ? Red to yellow =? Black to blue = ? Black to green = ? Black to yellow =? Controller 2 Red to blue =? Red to green = ? Red to yellow =? Black to blue = ? Black to green = ? Black to yellow =?

    Help with new controller for MAC 12t

    I'd resolder them just to make sure. When you do it, use plenty of heat and don't take the iron off too soon. be careful that the solder doesn't run through the hole. I'd hold the pcb vertical when doing it. If it was only one shunt, it probably wouldn't be the cause of your problem, but two...

    EVE ICR 18650 cells in Swytch GO+

    EVE are one of the well known Chinese battery cell makers. Unfortunately, they may go bust soon due to the downturn in the battery market. I find that cells work OK up to about half their maximum drain. The maximum discharge rate for the ICR 18650 35V is 10.2A, so 5.1A for a single one or...

    It doesn't matter if it's inaccurate. As long as you know to subtract the same amount from the reading, you'll be OK. The next one you get might be too low.
