Xiaomi M365 battery repair by BMS replacement

Most battery problems may be solved in less than an hour, no requiring special skills and tools.

Xiaomi M365 is an excellent electric scooter, but it has a weakness: the battery, which can fail for a number of reasons.

This video demonstrates an universal solution, that allows to fix all factory defects, as well as adding new useful features to the scooter.

Please note that good condition of battery cells is necessary for successful repair. This can be checked by measuring the voltage. If cell’s voltage is in the range from 2.5 to 4.2 volts, it is OK, otherwise it must be replaced.

3. Connect the power wires:

4. Connect the balancing wires:

7. Install the battery back into the scooter:

All done!

A special application is used to configure the battery:

Here you can download and install the application:
