Is anyone actively making these? Sooo tired of these rechargable standard batteries.

Hi, yes, we are currently trying to put together a kickstarter campaign to fund the first manufacturing run.

Oh wow cool. What does a guy need to spend to get onboard. (I'm not sure I'm allowed to be talking about buying anything yet). New to this sight, I had better find out before I get to far, or banned.

Please be patient for a few more days and more info will come. It is so certain that the campaign will start now in May. (I think there will be very good reward packages)

Oh I would but I haven't had Facebook or anything related since 2005. Just now learning how to use all this. (35 and feeling very bewildered 90 percent of the time on the internet).

Okay, here is the other official possibility: https://www.phondly.com, this is our website.

Phondly sent to me two EnBo PU battery packs for testing. Here is my review :

(subtiles available if you do not understand my frenchy accent 🤓)

Spoiler : definitively a good upcoming product !

Hope they will reinforce usb port (at least use some type that have in-plate mount, not the simpliest solder-on), which is more reliable for frequent charges following relatively low module capacity.

Why didn't you choose more sturdy and reliable design having so much space inside? This can be improved adding molded supports around the socket to reduce mechanical stress.

The space is not that big especially on the PCB but here is a picture of the assembled USB port

Any reason why you didn't share you kickstarter campaign here? I missed when it went online.

No, I'm so sorry I haven't posted here yet, I'm just trying to catch up somehow. I promise to make a new topic here today about it

No need to apologise. I was just curious :-) Looking forward to the project being successfully funded! Good luck!

@Phondly Is the electronics capable of offering native 3x3.7V=11.1V. This could be either static value or with some kind of small switch 9V <-> 11.1V. Is so, then it would be a nice extra selling point for those not wanting to spend loads of money on BuWizz 3.0

And still below what BuWizz 2.0 offers in LUDICROUS mode + standard for BuWizz 3.0.
From what I read those motors are fully capable of working at that (still safe for them) voltage and Lego used 9V to increase their lifespan (makes sense from business/warranty point of view)

No problem for the motors themselves, the limitation comes from the components inside the hub (the LB1836M motor driver is specified with a 9V maximum voltage, 10.5 absolute maximum rating). Buwizz uses a different chip (the one used in PF V2 receivers).
