Boosted Board 1st Generation: Replace new battery in Boosted board 1 gen

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 20:39:59 -0700

Hi,

i have a boosted board first generation and my battery is dead. Can somebody explain how i can replace the batteries and the board will work later on :)

I went to an batterie shop and they told me that the batteries are broke for sure they got new batteries but they said it will not work because of the BMS (battery management system)

So my question is: what batteries should i buy which tools do i need and how can i make my boosted board work again. If i charge it now it only runns for 2-3 minutes and then dead :(

the battery shop already took the batteries out from the board and the would make a new akku for me but i also would try it on my own

i would highly appriciate if somebody can help me to get my board fixed, i am from central europe and the shipping to USA would cost me 200 USD. So i would rather try it on my own before sending it to boosted for 200 usd and then pay additional for the repair work

thank you all for any hints

Simon

Surfboard: Can I use normal Solar Rez to repair my epoxy surfboard?

Sun, 11 Oct 2015 15:35:37 -0700

I have an epoxy/Boardworks Hynson twinzer with a few small nicks. I want to patch it up before I sell it but I don't want to ruin the paint on my board or mess anything up. Can I just use my standard solar rez to repair any dings? Will it adhere?

Alpine Skis: Wall mounting

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 13:33:13 -0700

How would one go about mounting a pair of really old wooden skis to the wall in my house?

I would rather not drill holes, but I would consider some sort of adhesive.

Thanks

Frank

I'm going to go with dry wall hangars with screws and metal bands around skis. I do not so much worry about the wall since a drywall repair is relatively simple. I do not want to drill through the skis.

Thanks everyone

Boosted Mini: How do I fix my battery

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 05:13:35 -0700

My board stopped working almost mid ride and now displays a red light that blinks three times. There is also an orange light on the second node of the five nodes that extend down from the power button. I bought a new charger and kept it plugged in for about two weeks because I read about how this should help it reset, but I'm still getting the red light of death. Any suggestions?

Treadmill: Stops running after some seconds.

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 20:42:35 -0700

Treadmill starts fine but after 9 seconds it suddenly stops. Display keeps on.

When I restart, it runs again and stops at every 9 seconds.

I have checked fuse, speed sensor and Mosfets these all have no problem. Checked motor by connecting to a 12v dc battery and its runs fine.

What will be the fault nw? Hlp pls.

Treadmill: Treadmill Motor control board bad?

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 02:52:22 -0700

My NordicTrack treadmill will power up and start fine but after 2 seconds the belt stops moving. The display is on but will not respond when I push the buttons. Once I power off and on it will again start but only runs for two seconds. I have checked the magnetic speed sensor and that is fine. I have also checked all the connections. When I look at the motor control board the red light is on u til the belt moves, then it blinks and goes back to solid red once it stops. Do you think the control board could be bad?

The model is a elite 9500.

Binoculars: The object viewed is doubled

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 03:30:59 -0700

when i look through my Bausch & Lomb binoculars the viewed object does not appear as a single object but doubled. Or in other words the two lenses are not lining up so when you look at the single object you are viewing you see double vision instead where the object overlaps. Can this be repaired. This set of binoculars is almost brand new and I suspect they were maybe dropped which knocked the viewing alignment out. thank you for your help.

Treadmill: Why does my New Balance 1500 treadmill turn on and shut right off?

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 11:44:07 -0700

I was running on my New Balance 1500 treadmill and when I went to turn down the speed, I got shocked. At first it was like it froze up and just stayed on the speed I was at and then after a few minutes it just shut off. When I say shcoked I mean as in the way when you walk on carpet and then touch someone, that shock. I went through the manual and did everything they suggested, called New Balance (still waiting for a call back), left unplugged for a whole day and nothing works. When you first plug it in, the light comes on but then the machine just shuts right off. It's like it ins't connecting in the deck part, the area where you press power and speed and all that. Can anyone help me, please.
