so you bought one of those sucker
two-wheel self-balancing scooters online
for what two hundred bucks free shipping
then find out that the batteries that
are installed are pretty much junk and
prone to exploding and catching on fire
so you decide rather than having to buy
a whole new scooter it would be cheaper
and it is cheaper just to replace the
battery with a nice high quality samsung
battery so i am going to show you how to
do that so right here i have a nice high
quality samsung battery it's 36 volt 158
watt hours and made up of 18 650 lithium
cells come out 80 cells so let's put
this inside the scooter now the scooter
that I have in front of me actually is
or does have a samsung battery in it
already but just for the sake of
demonstrating for you we will replace it
anyways now first things first by nice
soft workspace flip the board upside
down the battery is usually located on
the opposite side of the power button in
charge port so our button charge ports
on that side so we shall open up this
side in interest of keeping to this
video short shorter i will be using
powered screwdriver or actually two of
them one with a nice short tip and one
this one's longer to reach down in there
to unscrew the screws although a regular
center island what we're just take a
little
one side has the side that the light has
four screws one two three four side
without the light or the back of the
scooter will have five one two three and
four or five and then the cover will pry
off gently now it might have a little
trouble getting this cover off you can
gently pry it at the seam here with a
flathead screwdriver and once again
gently disconnect the wire for the light
this is your gyroscope so we're going to
remove that cover and there is your
battery nice and easily accessible next
there are four screws holding down the
battery retainer one two three four now
if you have some other wires in the air
in the way you can disconnect those if
necessary in this case they decided to
route one of the gyro wires right over
the top of that battery retainer so I'm
just going to gently put that out of out
of the place next remove the retainer
and batteries accessible I'm not going
to disconnect the rest of the wires not
needed but you have your battery clip
right here just gently disconnect not
pulling on the wires but disconnect
pulling on the plastic clip and that is
it old battery out and then the new
battery in now these are the exact same
batteries so I'm going to put the
original one back in since it's already
a samsung and it's fully charged whereas
the other one is not fully charged and I
would like to use the scooter later on
today I don't have time to charge it so
we'll just pretend that this was the new
battery just as you took it out nice and
simple place it in
connect up the power clip like so take
your retainer now if yours has these
black clips with the little lip on the
side but you can do and it helps keep
keeps the wiring from moving around too
much they actually clip onto the battery
retainer helps keep things from moving
around especially with how much abuse
these little things take line up the
holes for the screws and put your four
screws back in I recommend doing not
tighten all the way yet do one on each
corner across from each other then that
holds it steady and lines up the other
two holes put the last two in snug and
then snuggle other ones if you did
remove any wires replace those grab your
cover know if you can get the little bit
hot glue in there yet replace the wire
for the turn signal light and running
light you may have more wires in here
depending on if your scooter has
bluetooth or the real control I prefer
ordering them out as they're more
reliable I like the plastic covering if
you can get it lined up good well enough
without removing all the screws from the
holes more power to you
go perfect all done put the back over
hit that Powerman and now you have a non
exploding hoverboard to wield self
balancing scooter adios smile cheese
