where can i buy qicycle battery ? or how can i open the casing of the battery cause 18650 type is easy to find in my country.
There are several telegram chats with battery mods. I’m running with a mod that allow to travel with 2 battery at the same time and hot-swap between then without powering down the bike. I can reach +80km distance (6ah+12ah) https://3dparts459136784.wordpress.com/ Actualización (17/08/19) Xiaomi Qicycle Custom Mods https://t.me/Qicycleteros
could you show close ups of the structure that holds the batteries together. A tear down of the parts that keep the battery together would be nice too!
I fixed mine with a drill, once I saw back light flicker I put the charger on. Plug in the charger but Not to mainsUsing a drill spin front wheel until back-light fixed redPlug the power in. You will see everything is back.If your charger is flickering red, disconnect and do step 1

They do appear on aliexpress from time to time.
hi you cand find a battery here http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/NjmujYV
Still guys your answers don’t address the question. seanjoeakiller wants to know whether one can just open the case and put in 20 cells in order to replace the old ones. That would be much cheaper and probably would cost around 100$ instead of 300+ that the full battery pack costs. Update (09/20/2017) Check step 17 here. Apparently, the battery case can open with some heating and “good vibrations” but you will probably break the one-time-use clips the case has in the process. However, if your battery is dead by now, it’s the best thing you can try I guess and see if the case can be closed again after being opened before buying a brand new set of batteries with case costing $300.
Thanks for the direct link of the battery on Aliexpress… But… It s a ripoff as I get the full ebike for that price !!!
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?cat… This is a link to a search for the battery on AliExpress, you can find many replacements, with prices starting at $219.99 (USD). The real problem with repair or recreation of these batteries is opening the unit without damaging it. I’d love to be able to open the battery unit and test the cells to see if one is faulty and preventing further charging. I’m a hair’s breadth from buying a replacement battery myself, as my battery won’t charge anymore and Xiaomi don’t support the cycle in my region. But that $219+ replacement price isn’t a small amount, so I’m struggling on without the battery for the moment.
It looks great as usual. Thank you so much for sharing.
