I have successfully done a cell transplant on my Bionx 36v Li-ion.
I have opened the case and clipped the positive battery lead and ran it outside of the case to a connector. That way i can connect and disconnest the internal cells. I run my new pack of cells thru the charge port. So far so good. note I only brought out the positive lead.
Here is my question.
With the battery in its case and off the bike when I connect and disconnect the positive lead I see a spark. This is at my connector that I put in as described above. It is also a good sized spark.
Sure enough there is 40 volts when I measure each side of the plus lead. The battery doesn't discharge, so why the spark?
I don't like connecting things when they spark. Any ideas?
I know its a long shot.
