Onewheel specs, pinouts, connector types, reverse engineering effort...

Disclaimer

I'm just trying to aggregate bits of technical details I was able to find published on the internet. (See the credits section.) This is in no way a tutorial to do anything. I'm not responsible for any damage you cause by using this info. Even though I do my best to verify and double-check I'm not guaranteeing the correctness of the information aggregated in this repo.

OneWheel Battery schema and connector types

Overview

Overview, BMS connector (battery pack side), XT-60 connector, and Pint/XR+ battery pack layouts.

Each pack has 4 10k NTC Thermistors placed in-between cells for temperature monitoring.

Part numbers:

Charger pinout

Onewheel Pint Home Charger

63 V NMC battery charger

  • Input: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 1 A, 100 VA
  • Output: 63 Vdc, 1.3 A

Connector (2 pin female mini DIN) pinout:

Voltage measurements across pairs of leads:

- + Result
1 2 -63 Vdc
2 1 +63 Vdc

Found polarity:

  1. 63 Vdc
  2. Ground

Onewheel+ XR Home Charger

63 V NMC battery charger

  • Input: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 300 VA
  • Output: 63 Vdc, 3 A

Connector (3 pin female XLR) pinout:

Voltage measurements across pairs of leads:

- + Result
1 2 63 Vdc
1 3 63 Vdc
2 1 -63 Vdc
2 3 0 Vdc
3 1 -63 Vdc
3 2 0 Vdc

Found polarity:

  1. Ground
  2. 63 Vdc
  3. 63 Vdc

Other Models

The Onewheel+ is not NMC I don't think and the charger specs are 58 Vdc / 3.5 A I think, the Onewheel+ XR ultracharger is probably 63 Vdc / 5 A, but I don't know either of these, so I cannot verify these numbers.

If you do this and it wrecks your board, blame yourself, because I am not responsible for that.
