Hi, in this video I attempt to fix a rideable electric suitcase, think of a mix between a scooter and a pull along suitcase and you will end up with this. It is an Airwheel SE3 Mini T. Unfortunately the owner Mike dropped the battery and since then it doesn't work. Can it be fixed and work as intended once again? Let's find out.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.

Vince it is recommended to make sure all of the lithium 18650 batteries are at the same state of charge
Stumbled across your channel and now I’m hooked. Your videos are very therapeutic and educational. thanks Vince keep them coming
Hey Vince, you can get a 10 pack of 18650's for about $30-$35 USD. May be worth it since you already have the spot welder.
Nice video,Vince :)
The way the charger plugs in and the way it delivers power indicates it uses regenerative braking, which is why the braking force slows as it slows down. Nice feature to have less batteries and have it go for longer. You should definitely overvolt it! :)
I'm not one to use the word brave lightly...but you are a very brave man. Keep it up sir
Hi Vince, i repaired a mobility scooter recently with dead batteries. And the principle is the same. The charger had been left in the charge port while not in use, and totally flattened the batteries. So its possible that the same thing has happened here. Great video my friend. 👍👍👍👍
Vince. The new Lock Picking Lawyer. Great vid.
That was so much fun Vince. I changed my windshield wipers the other day and felt like a real man!😂 Be blessed sir.
Well done! I don't know about hours of fun, but at least 15 minute intervals of fun for sure 😂. I wonder if the batteries aren't balanced enough for it to fully charge. In all my airport visits I've only ever seen one of these suitcases out in the wild. Needles to say I was a bit jealous. I guess the other owners are in some secret suitcase racing club.
The spirit of snoopy lives on ..suitcase races for the win !
LOL! That's nuts! Great job as per usual ;) I will post my thoughts on this later once its public!
Forget cars, motorbikes, bicycles or anything else.
I said it before and I say it again. Variety is amazing on the Vince channel. I mean, just look at it. A rideable suitcase? If you made a competition to guess what the next weird thing on My Mate Vince would be, I doubt anyone would have even come close.
The voltage converter chip for the only USB port on the powerbank didn't have to be exchanged, it contributes nothing to the function of the airwheel - in particular if the suitcas itself has 2 other USB ports available with their own converter. Just removing the defective thing should do.
I think it is not charging to 100% because one cell is peaking at 4.2 volts, and when the charging circuit detects it, it cuts the whole charging.
You had me at “rideable suitcase”. Lol. Looking forward to this one.
10/10 for weird shit I never thought I’d see Vince (or anyone!) repair on UA-cam!!
Nice job. Remember a BMS always works even if the main switch is off. The BMS tries to keep the voltage of each cell equal at all times.But this BMS is not smart enough to shut down in time. So you will have to charge the battery pack regularly.
