Well today I was playing with my new 52V battery I got from aliexpress. I have it connected to my BBSHD with an Anderson to xt90 connector I got from luna cycle. The connector is brand new, I just bought three of them a few weeks ago. Anyways, I had tried to plug the new battery in after removing my original battery which was a 52v 28ah I bought from luna cycle a few years back.
This was after a 30km ride. In the process I had a another disaster with the main data connector that goes from the display, throttle, break sensors to the bbshd controller ( the big thick black multi pin connector). I ended up bending a bunch of the pins but still was able to plug the two ends in without noticing.
After this, I proceeded to plug in the new battery into the bbshd anderson to anderson, then poof a huge spark. Subsequently, the discharge port (XT90) on my new $1300 battery was melted to the point of not being utilizable. So was the XT90 connector on the luna XT90 to Anderson connector. The battery was fully charged so It had a lot of current
After this I just said screw it and decided to connect my old battery THAT I JUST USED 5 MINUTES BEFORE AND FOR OVER 3000KMS WITH NO ISSUES. I went grabbed a new XT90 to Anderson connector and plugged it in, but this time it went up in flames. I was able to blow it out and pull everything apart before everything burnt to the ground, but this time the Anderson connectors on both the Luna connector and the Anderson on my BBSHD controller burnt to a crisp.
- There was no reverse plugging in of anything, I went back and looked, it has never been an issue. It pretty much impossible to do.
Could this all have been caused by that bent pin on the data connector. I doesn't make sense how seeing very little power goes through it. Makes no sense. I am totally confused.
Is my new battery destroyed? Can I just replace the discharge xt90?
