I have a Ninebot controller with burnt traces - e-braking spike fried them and the resulting angry electric pixies killed a couple of the FETs.
I have another identical controller that died for other reasons and still has the high-power section intact. I wanted to salvage its FETs and use them in the first controller, but being a hamfisted idiot I broke the legs of two of them while taking them off the board, so I can't do a full swap.
The two controllers are 1:1 identical except the FETs themselves: the one I'm repairing has STP110N7F6 transistors, while the donor has STP15810 ones.
Both have a 110A current rating. The 110N7F6 have a 68V voltage spec while the 15810 have a 100V spec, but this is a 36V powertrain so neither are likely to ever get anywhere close to their maximum capacity.
Is it acceptable to just swap 15810 in place of the dead 110N7F6, or am I going to make more pixies angry?
