How to brick a battery 101, smash it with a chisle.
You forget the engineering that went into designing those partsā¦

I was just looking at those exact lofepo4 cells. 24 of them cost about 200 bucks. They use 50mm motors. The only thing thatās special about the boosted as far as I can tell is they dialed in the esc and had some sleek enclosures made. They advertise their enclosure as being able to flex with the deck. In reality that means they used three screws on one side and it actually lifts off the surface of the board when it flexes. That sounds like it would rattle around a lot to me. I was going to buy one but that $1500 is going to make me one hell of a board.
That loaded setup would run you about $310 so thereās that.

As far as I know, the housings donāt flex. The middle of the board flexes the most while the edges of the board donāt really flex at all.
Also Boosted only used 12 cells. Not sure if you know that already or not.
They definitely have the most polished board. Their design and research make for a great board. I would have bought one in a flash of I didnāt know about the fun of making my own.

How did you get the panel off and expose the batteries?
I tried removing all the screws but it seems sealed shut ā¦

Those look like capacitors to me.
There are screws on the bottom as well and there is a water sealing adhesive that holds it in place.

How is this not shorting out with all the exposed wire ends touching?
Could be that the BMS deactivated the battery? (Might be wrong here XD)

You are probably right. Might be an e-switch BMS.
How do they get away with only using 12 batteries??
If you check out the datasheet, LiFePO4 batteries are actually really powerful.
That battery pack can discharge 70A continuously. There isnāt much voltage sag either.

does anyone know how to fix a water broken boosted board?? and what parts i need to order and replace to make it roll again?
At first you have to locate whatās wrong. It can broken in so many ways.
my board is first blinking red and when i take 2 drills and spinning it for a while and then it goes over to blinkin green red and no ligth, but if i order a new battery and replace it with the old one do you think it will be fixed?
Boosted has to fix it. You cannot order spare Boosted parts. The repair will range from $600 to $800.
Hey does anyone what baseplate angle the boostedboards have 44 or 50?
