The obvious solution was to purchase new charging equipment like this beautiful Turnigy 8s charger capable of 7A continuous. That is great except my Triton EQ charger can only handle 6s Lithium anything. The resulting holes are displayed below.My most recent scooter (that I built and haven't yet blogged about) uses a 7s2p Lithium Iron Phosphate pack using A123 cells. This template was used to place and cut the holes. The hole for the Molex connector was cut using a rotary tool with a drilling bit. The holes for the binding posts were drilled with a hand drill. There are 2 double binding posts for the output and a Molex Micro-Fit connector for the input. The first step is drilling and cutting the holes for the connectors. The following video shows the process of building this enclosure. To reuse the power supply in my home lab, I decided to build a custom enclosure to expose the two Xbox power supply voltage rails to two pairs of binding posts. ![]() To be on the safe side and reduce the current draw on the enable line, I used a 1K pull-up resistor as shown on the circuit below. There seems to be a pull down resistor inside the power supply on the “12V enable” wire, so it should be safe to apply directly the 5V to the cable. ![]() When this wire is enabled, the LED on the power supply turns green. Xbox 360 Slim power supply connector pinoutīy default, only the 5V rail is enabled. To enable the 12V rail, 5V must be applied to the “12V enable” wire (blue). Using a multimeter, I was able to match each plug connection to each wire as displayed in the image and table below. In the cable sleeve, there are two yellow wire, two black wires, one grey wire, one blue wire and one red wire. In each one, there are two ring connections and one pin connector. The connector consists of two barrel connectors. As mentioned, the power supply uses a proprietary connector as shown below. Most of the available power is on the 12V rail. The Xbox 360 power supply provides two voltage rail : 5V and 12V. To avoid putting it in the garbage with the console, I reverse engineered the connector and built a custom enclosure to reuse it as a dual voltage benchtop power supply. Unfortunately, it uses a proprietary connector, making it hard to reuse. The console itself was unusable ( Red Ring of Death), but the power supply seemed OK. Like so many people, my Xbox 360 suddenly died. ![]()
