    Thank you for this video. I am looking to disassemble and repair the same type of battery from my GoTrax GXL V2. Your video certainly has confirmed for me the process of replacing dead cells. Much appreciated!

    I have a battery just like that that stopped taking charge and upon disassembly have discovered corrosion on the spot welded terminals in the center section of the battery pack. It eh corrosion from the leaky electrolyte?

    Hey thanks for the video! I'm looking to upgrade my friend's scooter to use higher quality cells than gotrax did. Do you know what the capacity and discharge rate of the stock cells were? I'm thinking of LG HG2 with the 30C rating, but wondering if it's overkill? Also, from your video I counted 24 cells total?

    If you still have this scooter (or a charger): would you be so kind as to let me know what the connector is? I thought it was a failry standard 5.5 OD by 2.1 ID, but it doesn't seem to fit. My caliper says OD 4.5 but there is always some measurement error there. I cannot find a connector that will work :( My scooter has the same overall shape but the battery is only 24V, the motor on the wheel says 250W.

    10 batteries in series will give you 36V power. It's so simple to keep the orientation of the batteries right. It looks difficult to copy the processes from the factory. Battery length is critical.
