    The R pack wirebond issue

    That's a question I'd like to know as well. Somewhere I read or listened to discussion where they were talking about cell level fusing and the possibility of an internal cell malfunction that would cause it to go reverse polarity. I have no idea if that's actually a thing or not. It could be...

    The R pack wirebond issue

    So by now most of us regular forum rats have heard of the dreaded "code 36" issue. Code 36 indicates a voltage imbalance which could happen for a whole host of reasons. When we are talking about the 2018 R packs the culprit will likely be a disconnected cell due to some issues they had in...

    For Sale Stickers/decals

    For a fair shipped price I would be interested in a complete set or two of original MXR decals. Shrouds, fork protectors, rear fender and subframe MXR "stripe", front fender tip and WP AER fork decals.

    Team Alta Owners Forum graphics kis

    Showing some support by displaying the logos associated with @racer726 ,@Trialsman ,@MrTaskRacing All logos can be changed to suit an individuals needs. All BS aside, the material this place used was the most forgiving I've ever worked with. Very pleased with the entire experience.

    Code 33 service required just appeared on display.

    Alta basically replaced the battery any time there was any type of issue that would require the battery to be opened up, but some battery related codes are definitely worse news than others.

    Talk me into buying an Alta. Talk me out of buying an Alta.

    The good news for you is you are already buying in low, unless of course you buy from one of these dealers who are still asking MSRP. You will have significantly less at stake than most of us. My best recommendation is find a nice used bike that has some time on it with current firmware...

    Replacing bad battery cells

    We all want to see you repair this pack, and you would be attempting this with or without us, so it makes no sense to not share what we know with you to give you the best chance of a success. But we also have to convey all the negatives as it would be irresponsible not to, especially since we...

    Replacing bad battery cells

    There is a ton of info on tinned copper wire used as cell level fusing on youtube on DIY powerwall batteries, and yes, (for everyone else) I'm aware this is much more critical than DIY powerwall batteries. Also, the Alta fuse wire is sonic welded, it can not be soldered, which at the end of the...

    Replacing bad battery cells

    There are a few of them now that have slipped out from the Alta liquidation. In another post, AltaWest also claims they are working on a reproduction that could be 3D printed. It would need to be an exact replacement for the PCB to line up properly (among other things).

    MXR dead this morning... (and now alive!)

    This is a club you don't want to be a member of :confused: I'd say it's a safe bet your pack issue is resolvable, so I won't accept your club membership as of yet.

    Replacing bad battery cells

    Yes, this is definitely not for anyone without the skill set for working with energized equipment, and even still comes with extreme hazards of accidental electrocution and/or fire. @Cyrus David or @Philip , could you please edit the first post in this thread and head it off with a bit of a...

    Bought Code 36 R Pack

    I'd like to be able to take you up on that. It's been a frustrating few months and Bloak and I have only come up empty handed trying to find solutions. Having a reasonable solution for battery problems will go a long way to stabilize the value on these bikes, and we all want that. We should...

    So, at the end of the day it looks like someone could buy all the hardware needed to construct a service laptop for $300ish depending on what laptop choice you went with. Nice!
