  @stinkyface Probably going to have to be a DIY solution. We can ignore the balance leads. You're best bet is to wire it up to a power resistor and drain it down to something more suitable like 57v (3.8v per cell) Here's an article going over discharging a Lipo but of a smaller voltage and for the purpose of disposal. You'll want to spec your resistor for this battery. To keep the pack healthy a "slow" drain will be ideal so I'd suggest keeping the current no more than a few amps. Bear in mind you'll probably see sparks connecting this up, just a heads up ;) If it were me I'd be using a single 50 ohm 100w resistor. Using Ohm's law at 63volt max with a resistance of 50 ohms the current draw would be 1.26 amps while max power would be 80w, well within the resistors specs so it will probably only get hot but not "mega owwie" hot. Best to place it away from the battery just in case still and off anything that might burn/melt. Once connected just keep an eye on it and eventually it should get near 57v at which point disconnect it and keep it stored away safely. This solution won't stop it going past 57v so don't forget about it ;)

  @HanahsDax Haha, thanks! I love my Pint and I’ve always admired the dedication of the people on the leaderboards, so it feels really cool to join the group. Pint isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t have any kind of attitude - so I just keep on waving to little kids and old ladies wherever I ride, and just basically try to have a happy time whether I’m in the city, on country highways or forest trails. Float life. 🤙

  What exactly are the differences between the pint and xr hardware wise?

  @NotSure Battery is the biggest difference. XR has a 15s2p pack arrangement. So 15 cells series, 2 parallel (30 cells total). 63v max voltage and 6000mAh capacity Pint has a 15s1p pack arrangement. 15 cells series (15 cells total). Is again 63V max voltage but only 3000mAh capacity. Voltage in series cells adds up, current and capacity adds up in parallel. Because of this the Pint doesn't quite have the same power as the XR. Counter-intuitively to what is said above voltage determines the speed of motor so you'd expect both to perform the same right? Well current plays a part in torque, with half the current capacity of the XR the Pint doesn't have the horses behind it to drive the motor so I imagine FM limited the Pint much more to give the pack more headroom on power delivery. As some in the DIY community have stated the XR (and Pint) motor are capable of much more than FM allow it to achieve so I suspect the speed limits on both models are arbitrary and artificial. Not to say that's bad, FM must have done some testing to find the speed limits set are the safest thy're willing to push the boards given the battery.

  Thanks , I'm up going again, maybe a little slower, definitely less complacent, and USING more pads. Need to spend more time in water and the foil boarding thing and my unicycle anyway. This dang Onewheel is so excessible and fun. I hope I live long enough to see the next version. LOL

  Most of my Onewheel travel is cruising up and down the 44 miles of the Western Reserve Greenway Trail.

  Hi @HorsePlay -- Off topic, your response to words and language makes me think you might play Words with Friends. With my editor sister and with my grown younger daughter I play very open, friendly games. Some of our words lately have included OCTOPUSES, AQUATIC, SAFEHOUSE, and SNITCHERS. I am Blkwalnutgrwr there, too, if you have time and would enjoy a game ( ...or not is fine, too.) Anyone else here maybe up for a game?
