umm... when you were messing with the controller switches, you were holding it upside down, which is why the LED display didn't seem logical! I have this era SWYTCH kit - what you are showing is correct operation. Thanks for the video - some useful information in there for when mine dies, as it surely will soon.

Great video. You’ve given me the confidence to try recalling my battery pack that has a dead battery. Question: I can’t find anywhere where the Samsung 32E batteries are in stock. Is the Panasonic NCR18650GA 3450mAh 10A Battery a reasonable substitute? If not, can you please suggest one? Thanks again for making

Thanks for the comment. That Panasonic cell is absolutely fine. Make sure that the battery is the only issue here. You may have a controiller or BMS problem.

A quick update: I purchased the Panasonic cells, a $70 battery spot welder, and followed your directions carefully. I’m happy to report that it is working great and my Swytch battery has added capacity to boot! I saved over $100 from buying the new-style battery from Swytch and I learned something too! Again, thank you!

I have precisely the same Swytch kit as this one, and overloaded the controller riding up a hill a few weeks ago (according to support). Battery still charges and operates as normal, but controller is not functioning. Swytch sold me a supposedly compatible controller, as they no longer have any of the originals left, but it is not functioning properly at all and is unusable. My only option now is to purchase a whole new kit minus the motor. I would so love to get the controller fixed so I don’t have to toss the battery away (which I believe has a lot of life left in it), and get my bike back on the road. Would you like to give it a try?

My first question would be :- how do you know the battery operates as normal if the controller isn't working properly ? And new controllers,that I 've seen cost over £100 to buy. Perhaps a new kit would be cheaper ? If you'd like,send me an email :- garethem1@sky.com

What is the make/model of that BMS testing device? Thanks.

It's not a BMS tester. If you mean the cell tester,it's this one - www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001687189122.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000014.27.2eccF1V6F1V6na&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40000.326746.0&scm_id=1007.40000.326746.0&scm-url=1007.40000.326746.0&pvid=f79fe63b-7314-4fa9-ac31-f3a2776592cd&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40000.326746.0,pvid:f79fe63b-7314-4fa9-ac31-f3a2776592cd,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238111%23404&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%218.69%217.82%21%21%218.69%21%21%402103247116932290403454867e9a76%2112000017135488500%21rec%21UK%213472603192%21A

Hello, fantastic video. I have a battery which seems to charge but doesn’t work and the display does nothing… could you please have a look and maybe repair it for me as it would be fantastic to get it back up and running…

@makeitwork7522

Firstly,the battery can't be made "more powerful". For more power,you will need a larger wattage motor. And the range depends on battery capacity (and how much you're using battery power for assistance). The largest capacity you will get in this physical size (the bag) is 7 amp hours (Ah). If you want more capacity,you're going to need a larger battery (which won't fit in the bag).
