Go inside an Ebike Battery Repair Shop

[@Kntryhart]

I contacted this company for advise on an ebike battery that works intermittently. They were very courteous, helpful and replied very quickly (back-and-forth several times). Two thumbs-up! 🙌

[@larryvanwilgen603]

Recently had Kevin build a 72V battery using high amp cells for a beast of a bike. The project went exactly as he said with some massive power output. I am also very jealous of how neat and organized his shop always looks.

[@Saddletramp1200]

I salute those folks. I built my 36v battery for my trike 13 years ago. Electric bikes have been around for a long time. I ride mine everyday to get around the ranch. I love he new Trikes!

This company looks to be a great asset to the ebike community. I am glad to have it local to us. Maybe Kevin will join a group ride.

Very interesting video ! Alot of the points that were touched on in the video i did not even think about . Especially the onne about charging the battery and letting it sit . Like in the winter time , there is no way in hell i am gonna ride in 25 degree weather . Time for upgrades....lol

[@ChrisCrossed]

Thanks for watching.

[@714metaldetecting]

What a cool video Chris. Interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@ChrisCrossed]

You bet

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Cool shop.. Good stuff! I wonder if he ever tried a CYC motor kit build? Good show guys!👍

[@iscootct]

I eventually want to do a dual battery conversion on one of my e-bikes. Perhaps I will tap them for some battery recommendations.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Oh very nice.. I wonder how much my Kepler battery would be to get all new cells if the BMS is ok? Maybe even use a higher grade cell.. Not sure if they are worth upgrading.. I think a brand new battery for a Kepler is between $450-$525 online.

Thanks, Kevin. You taught me a lot!

[@Maghrabi14]

Extremely interesting video! Props to the owner 💪🏼

[@Onlybhstrpes]

No WAY!! been looking for something like THIS!! You da MAN!! -I nearly burned my old battery, (caught in the rain) and wanted to know if it can be refurbished.

[@ChrisCrossed]

Just ship it here and they'll fix it.

[@thomascruciani4251]

Fantastic service.

[@subiesojourner777]

Very informative, thanks!

[@stevenp4891]

Don't know if I wasn't paying attention, but I wish you had addressed safety issues such as fires. Just to put people at ease. We, ebike owners, more or less know how to handle our batteries. A lot of people who do not own ebikes will not get one due to the media portraying these batteries fire hazards.

[@markj.7630]

I need some place like this in Brooklyn besides those Asian ebike shop owners that don't speak English , and their horrible customer service.

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

I have a couple cells that have a very low charge. (Stupid me before seeing this video) took the china battery out that was hot glued in the sleeve. Most of the wires are hot glued. I tried removing the nickel strips and it looks like the 4th of July in my apartment. There's no way to safely remove the discharge wire unless I cut it off without electrocuting myself. Can one of your guys travel to Massachusetts and help me? I'm in Amherst.

[@ChrisCrossed]

You are really close to Kevin give him a call

[@pedrofernandez8729]

I'd be curious to know how many AH he could get out of a modified Lectric 10.4 AH factory battery?

[@jamesharrison7114]

That would be good to know, especially if you could get maybe 16 or 17ah for the price of the 14ah pack.

[@ChrisCrossed]

He thinks he might be able to squeeze 15 Ah in the pack

[@jasonweston1273]

Hello i have a freego hawk it was re-celled with boston cells upgraded to 16ah around 2 years ago recently due to the cold weather it is dropping a bar on the power meter is this a normal thing for this time of year?

[@ChrisCrossed]

You will get a loss of range in colder weather, how much so I cannot say.

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Yes that is very normal on very cold days. My bike does that too.

[@kathydomokos8837]

So I have a battery for which I lost the key. Is it possible to replace that part and get a new key?

[@ChrisCrossed]

Not sure to be honest, but give them a call, you never know.

[@kathydomokos8837]

@@ChrisCrossed Thanks, Chris.

[@jrr3787]

Prices are the same for a repair as a new Lectric battery.

[@ChrisCrossed]

Batteries arent cheap.

[@jrr3787]

@@ChrisCrossed I know, but why would you pay the same for a repair as for new?
