Got a buddy with a FLIR or other than camera? Nice way to find out what's heating and where.

Thanks all. I'm probably convoluting the smart charger and bms system. What I want is a smart balance charger with bms to raise the cells to 4.1v. maybe 4.15v. Looks like that system doesn't exist... So back to the standards and figuring out how to lower stuff.

Yup! But they don't seem to provide the lower Max voltage charge. I swear I saw someone doing this with a power wall, so maybe that's my search next. I take it out is uncommon to cutoff the charge for bikes looked this?

I can't speak to the wraps, but please don't. Super glue is not structural and WILL fail. It's a fast hold. Use it to perhaps hold something in place while another glue (epoxy?) seals. Superglue will fail over time and sometimes faster than you'd expect. For instance, when building little jigs...

Humorously we've had several Dell laptop batteries (The thin, lipo type) start to swell. Dell wanted them back and said to just toss them in the mail. Fought that baby all the way up. I talked with my IT guy and told him point blank not to ship it unless Dell sent the proper packaging...

I did my searching and found much debate on Max voltage to charge to but not the means to accomplish it safely. I'm looking to have a 4s pack of EV batteries for a power wheels car. I'd like to not exceed 4.1v and keep the cutoff to around 3.0v Are there circuits available that I can adjust to...

I would really suggest taking a look at the YouTube channel LockPickingLawyer . I was sickened at how much I spent on bike locks that could be defeated in under a minute, whether due to flaws or poor parts. If you could dead short the motor so that is not rideable then they at least have to...
