    Improving my bobbycar headlights with custom 3d printed parts

    In my last post I reported about my new led headlights and what a great addition they are for my bobbycar. They increase not only my own but also the safety of other (sidewalk-) participants.

    Let’s build a new custom battery pack for the new bobbycar 2.0

    Since I started charging my bobbycar with 2 or up to 3 paralell chargers (40A peak sometimes) my battery started to get a little damaged. Some cells get empty or full much quicker then the rest of the cells. Which usually cuts off charging or discharging way earlier which causes the bobbycar to stop usually…
