BMS Component ID Help

@lia said in BMS Component ID Help:
I've tried to de-solder mine with my reflow station but I can't seem to get enough heat there before the ground plane saps it all away so I can't measure one of mine for you sadly.
Ah bummer. That makes me a bit less optimistic that this will be an easy fix for him, but hey, it's not like he could break it much more.
It's crazy generous of you to try on my behalf though. Do you have some spares or did you tear into your board on a whim? (Or more logically, some experience from a past attempt.)
Feels like I should start searching for a spare myself, just in case. Maybe a dead board to keep costs down. =P

@ando I pulled a few off a dead bms, I couldn't get a accurate capacitance reading. They can be sodered on with a 35 watt soldering pencil.
Where are you located?
-
@lemur : I'm in MN, USA.
Would you be willing to toss a couple in the post? I would be more than happy to cover costs and buy you a long distance pint. -
@ando oo someone else from MN??? Hi friend!!!

*waves excitedly *
Where are you located? Always looking to expand the local riding group (or alternatively, build a list of cool places to ride for weekend trips).
-
@ando I will dm yo u

@ando Hi there! I had to replace that same capacitor. it is a 1uF 2012 package and I used a 10V rating. You can buy them in Newark
-
Thanks so much for adding a confirmed ID for these.!
Surely I'm not the only joker that will damage one of those caps with that big ol' XT60 connector. Whoever does it next can enjoy some immediate gratification.

Just wanted to close the loop. I got my CBXR up and running! I also [unnecessarily] changed the bearings while I had it apart and it's like a whole new board. Between the CBXR and the ReWheeled Quart I've been too busy having fun to report back.
Many thanks to @Lia and @vulkito for offering their knowledge and an extra special thank you to @Lemur for going above and beyond and mailing me some spare capacitors.
Photo Tax, because it will never look that clean ever again.

@ando Love to see a board back out there. Well done with the repair and slick looking makeover!
-
@ando please advice - Where could I buy BMS XR?
-
Witz Wheel in the US, eBay internationally, or get connected with local riders and figure out who has the largest stash of spare parts.
Best of luck!
