Hello!
I was being a bit careless after unplugging a 48v electric bike battery and I dropped the power cord leading motor's controller, it hit the rim and shorted the remaining current from the motor's controller. (I assume the steel rim completed the connection between the prongs and shorted the remaining current.) It gave off a nice pop.
I assume the motor is fine, but I am concerned about the controller board. Could such a discharge damage anything within the controller?<-my real question
What are electronics? and why electricity? Would an old TV work if the person repairing it forgot to wait after unplugging it?
My guess would be no, but I figured it couldn't hurt to be shamed for my carelessness by some circuit experts.
Thanks in advance!
