Swappable Onewheel Batteries - They're Possible

- I've spent the last year working on this challenge.
I believe the VOW Swap Plug will allow dedicated VESC Onewheel riders to change their packs out and get more out of their machine.
More info and demonstrations are to come, but if you're interested in getting in line to obtaining one, check out my website at vow.systems
(youtube wont let me use links yet haha)
Bro made a swappable battery case before vescify part 3 🦆
Great work man, I'm super excited to see these out in the wild.
I would love to see a video of the whole process of installing your plug into different battery boxes/wheels and the whole process of swapping your battery from start to finish.
Will definitely come :))
You're on a whole other level, very impressive! Keep up the great work!!
Wouldn't have been possible without vesc tech itself, you'll always be thanked for that sir surfdado :)) 😅
I feel like making a dedicated “explorer” build would be perfect for this. Own the group rides with like two Samsung 50s packs, while everyone is charging you get to session a curb or whatever. Defo interested, incredible work 💖
and infinite range too! While you riding the parking lot the 1st battery pack could be charging up.
👏👏👏👏👏 Amazing! And there I was thinking an anti-spark switch would get the job done. I'm not ready for this on my build, but the eventual goal is swappable batteries and your connector seems like my best path forward.
Great work man ! I will follow how it’s going to work but the way you explained it’s already a game changer 👊
Great job! It seems like the big downside to this is losing all extra wiring to your battery box though. That would make it impossible to use any BMS that requires an independent charge path, LEDs, CAN wires for a smart BMS, right?
You do lose a bit yes, but one of the plugs versions has a separate charge path and the other has a 3 pin signal for lights, depending on if you're building for pint/gt or xr
Oh beautiful! You’re way ahead of me 🙇
Man that is so awesome keep up the great work
Yes! Hot swappable mag batteries!
Great work. Keeping my fingers crossed 👍🏻 and waiting for next videos🤩
My dreams is a board with swappable batteries. Being able to load your bag and go 100 miles etc if you wanted would be amazing.
Wow, amazing work. Thank you. I loved the XT60 in the rail, very trick. While not foreseeing a need for swappable battery in my future, there is a great need overall. I'm increasingly annoyed at FM, having just bricked two 4209's by frying their BMS. Why oh why can't I just purchase these things...
How did you manage to brick 2 boards ?
@@MrDmadness that's the problem, I don't know. My 4209 wouldn't turn off, which is indicative of a bad BMS, so I pulled a BMS out of another board, and plugged it in incorrectly(out of sequence)so while I know what's wrong with one, I still don't know what caused the first.
@@deanaoxo respectfully. Would not turn 9ff sounds more like a bus failure or the button contacts. Likely the bms you got was not rated for peak discharge OR posdiblly you did not verify the l1, l2 connections. Ohewheel reversed them on their plug ( you may have reversed the polarity of the circuit )
🎉 bloody epic work mate 🤙
Billy shredder has been doing this for a while now
Amazing work dude!
Interesting stuff, Both OneWheel and EUCs have alot in common.
I have noticed EUCs getting huge volts increases from 84volts up to 156+ in the last few years and the plugs ark bigtime.
some of the pro manufactures have started to make cold battery connectors that seems to be woken up by the control board with wake up circuit. Something that is not talked about enough. this adds extra complexity requiring the battery BMS and control circuit to be compitable.
Sweet af man! 🔥🔥🔥 Great work!! count me in! 🤙
Worth noting that that cinnection js not water resistsnt . And youre going to gace to drop your skid plates to swap. Good job though regardless
I like it, impressive work!
You got a subscribe from me, keep it up man!
Insane 🔥
lettttsssss gooo !!!!
make motor connector now
You and Tony should collaborate to make this a reality for the next generation of Floatwheels. That way it could be incorporated into the design of the board and ease the swapping process by making it as tool-free as possible. Thank you for sharing!
I'd love this to happen and Tony definitely doesn't need my help haha
My guess is swappable would be really hard to get decently waterproof. Gaskets seem like the only semi viable option at least until they wear out
Please call Tony very quickly
Very impressive. This has been the dream for so long. Battery swap.
Ive been waitin on somthing like this i just got out of fpv and heAVY into onewheels and i was thinking the same think and i just built a 72v razor that did 60mph these boards are def simular
I've only ever ridden my XR, looking to build one from the ground up for a cross country trip. A swappable battery would be massive, gonna need to get ahold of an electronics guru.
Question, how much battery power does it take to charge the capacitor? could you have a small dedicated battery pack to keep it charged separate from the swappable battery? As far as I understand capacitors charge super quickly so if you had like 8 cells (Idk what is actually feasible just an example) that could last like 40-50 charges before needing to be swapped out then you could make the main battery just a single connection, in my mind I think having the battery slide along the rail into a connection with no disassembly needed, idk if there's a workaround to the varying tolerances of rails but that sure would be something.
something you could do to test number of safe cycles of pluggin/unpluggin, mount them on linear rails or something and have a motor push them together and pull apart, and measure connection resistance when they are connected and every maybe 100 cycles check the wear on the connector
what is the delay time period between cycles? I mean how long do vesc capacitors take to drain to zero electricity with no battery connected?
idk@@uhjyuff2095
@@uhjyuff2095 milliseconds
I own a future motion board and I'm watching your stuff. You're doing some amazing stuff! Would it be possible to build my own battery and larger battery housing for my pint?
Mad respect.
I’ve got 2 XR batteries rotated 180 degrees in a box with the leads sticking out the front. I never wait for a charge and it’s amazing.
Also I’m running lil Foccer 3.1 and my capacitors are holding up good. I was worried for a while, but now I’m just used to the spark.
Will this be purchasable?
This Stanley?
Nice job! Thanks for working on this!
Awesome 👌
solid
Having swappable batteries would be absolutely unreal. We do a lot of rides over 100 miles. Or even when you're just beating on the board doing crazy Offroad stuff like we do being able to swap batteries in the field would just be amazing!
Very nice. I'll watch all your content. Thx for the care you are taking.
Vesc in peace,
Peace of mind ...you have more power!
amazing job, been waiting for this to hit the community!
Love this! Thanks for doing the work!
You should make a motor connector
great work
Dank
