Go inside an Ebike Battery Repair Shop

I recently visited with Kevin Donald at Northeast Battery Systems in Windsor Locks, CT to tour his ebike battery shop. If you have a dead battery or need it fixed these guys are legit.

    I contacted this company for advise on an ebike battery that works intermittently. They were very courteous, helpful and replied very quickly (back-and-forth several times). Two thumbs-up! 🙌

    Recently had Kevin build a 72V battery using high amp cells for a beast of a bike. The project went exactly as he said with some massive power output. I am also very jealous of how neat and organized his shop always looks.

    I salute those folks. I built my 36v battery for my trike 13 years ago. Electric bikes have been around for a long time. I ride mine everyday to get around the ranch. I love he new Trikes!

    This company looks to be a great asset to the ebike community. I am glad to have it local to us. Maybe Kevin will join a group ride.

    Oh very nice.. I wonder how much my Kepler battery would be to get all new cells if the BMS is ok? Maybe even use a higher grade cell.. Not sure if they are worth upgrading.. I think a brand new battery for a Kepler is between $450-$525 online.

    Don't know if I wasn't paying attention, but I wish you had addressed safety issues such as fires. Just to put people at ease. We, ebike owners, more or less know how to handle our batteries. A lot of people who do not own ebikes will not get one due to the media portraying these batteries fire hazards.

    I have a couple cells that have a very low charge. (Stupid me before seeing this video) took the china battery out that was hot glued in the sleeve. Most of the wires are hot glued. I tried removing the nickel strips and it looks like the 4th of July in my apartment. There's no way to safely remove the discharge wire unless I cut it off without electrocuting myself. Can one of your guys travel to Massachusetts and help me? I'm in Amherst.
