Not sure wtf I did but it was scary. So my brand new sabvoton after 2 days of texting off load was working fine. I finally put everything on the bike. I test my rear lights and have the rear lights connected via usb to the sabvoton. I notice a short in the light strip and try to fix it. Doesen't work. 60 or so seconds later the bike turns off. I assumed it was the 750c display auto off. I go to plug everything back in and get a huge spark xt90 plug is melt. Good thing I use a 8inch cord which isn't directly connected to the battery and controller. Cord has a connection on both ends and the battery and controller have plugs on one end. Anyways I solder some new xt90 connectors big blaming spark xt90 connector gone. I solder anderson this time since it was my first time using xt90s I assumed they just short outa easy. I connect everything and this time small spark. I push the cord end at the controller side and this time a much larger fireball the size of my head. I give up on that controller. I test with 3 different generic controllers and they are fine. Now I get that usb cord is used for programming but wtf could it do to cause connector melting fire soon as current is sent to it. Is this just a error from using the usb port when I shouldn't or the usb port shortening or should I just avoid the smaller model of sabvoton. Each time the cord melts were at which ever point was connected last. If I connected to battery last that plug melted, If I connected to controller last that plug melted. Motor, throttle and even display are fine. I also never programmed the sabvoton. I like the smaller sabvoton as it is water sealed somewhat where as the larger sabvotons have exposed terminals.
