First off im from germany, so i apologise for my bad english in advance. | |
I recently had the issue that the battery was running shorter and shorter and in addition to that, the unit went off with a loud knocking sound. | |
So i opened the xtreme. | |
I removed the totally debalanced battery. | |
Its a 2 cell battery, one cell was at 3.29V and the other one at 4.26V!!! overcharged. | |
My guessing is that the circuit board from the battery was faulty and it was not balancing the battery cells, but i dont know if the board is designed to balance. | |
But i found a bad solder spot also, so who knows. | |
The good news is, 18650 cells fit barely. | |
I spotwelded 4 sony 18650V3 (drift free) cells together as a 2s2p pack and threw the original battery circuit board together with the old battery in the trash. | |
The sony cells wont need a bms board, i use them for years in ebikes, they dont drift. | |
I was a bit concerned that the xtreme would not boot up without the battery board but it did. | |
You can also swap the original battery but these 18650 cells are way better in therms of quality and long time stability. | |
Another problem is that i didnt found the original battery in europe, so i need to order it from china.......too much time. | |
You get these 18650 cells everywhere. | |
The xtreme is playing while im writing this......... ;-) | |
EDIT!!! | |
The unit wont charge without the circuit board from the original battery. | |
The internal charger checks the temp probe which is on the board from the battery. | |
But its quite easy, just give the charger a ~10k Ohm resistor between the minus from the battery and the temp cable coming from the connector. | |
My xtreme is charging now. | |
Next step is tune it up with 3500 mAh 18650 cells. | |
With my old 2250 ones the xtreme was playing the whole night, so i guess with new 3500mAh cells this thing will run way longer. | |
Also i will try to extend the base/foot/pedestal for 20mm so a whole pack of 18650 cells will fit underneath the unit. | |
I just need to get a cable to the outside and isolate it to get it airtight. | |
With this the xtreme will run half a week i guess. | |
