Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there! I am so thankful for my Dad and what he means to me and all he has done in my life!

Another great informational video. Thanks. Without an adapter board the best way to mount the replacement coil would be to dead bug it (mount it upside down) and solder wires from the pins to the correct pads. It will slightly change the inductance but should be fine.
Ego will make these harder to repair with each iteration.
Great info. I've worked on a handful of these 56v Ego packs now. The last one I did had a low cell set though in isolating them and charge/ capacity testing them they were good. So possibly a bad BMS circuitry. I sent it out to a family member to use/test but feedback from them is pretty non informative. I've had a few with good boards/bad cells I sold on ebay and ones with bad boards I salvaged all the cells. I'll have to keep this transformer in mind as I think I have 3 packs waiting for me to look at right now.
Amazed how the conformal coating can be easily removed. Years ago had customer who decided it would be a good idea to cover the embedded motherboards in a product we shipped them with conformal coating. Caused numerous failures due to overheating of some of the the ICs that no longer had free airflow - what a mess that was!
You are incredibly insightful, thank you for sharing
Great job enjoyed it
Nice repair. I wonder what is killing the x-formers..
Has anyone in a state that has enacted a Right to Repair law ever asked for schematics and parts list? I know NY already has a law that took effect in March of 2023 and CA has one that takes effect 7/1/24.
@thriftytoolshed why don't we all get in contact wit one manufacturer and get the transformer build to our specs for us; will that be to imposible to do?
I'm about to pull apart a gen2 7.5ah battery that shows green and fully charged but goes red after only a minute or so in the push mower. Any suggestions on what to look for?
Any idea if you can buy those transformers ?
