In this third and final part to my eBike battery rebuild series, I create my 36V battery from 40 reclaimed 18650 cells. This video focuses on adding the BMS and the final install back into the bike housing. Will it work...or will it not? Watch to find out ๐Ÿ™‚

I bought this bike from Kogan in January 2023 after a fun experience riding e-bikes on the Gold Coast. It cost me just under $1k AUD and I happily rode it around twice a week for the first year and probably once a week for the second year. A couple of months ago the range of the bike was severely limited and then just stopped working all together. I was unable to try to remove the battery during winter as it was just so bitterly cold. Now that the weather is finally warm enough, I spent some time removing it and inspecting the battery so I could plan my repair/replacement strategy. Kogan want 369.00 + $25.00 shipping for a replacement...almost half the cost of the bike itself! Let's see if I can fix it and for a reasonable price.
