Battery Replacement for Gen 1 GT Carbon SeriesUpdated 2 hours ago

If you’ve got a Gen 1 GT Carbon board and the battery is bulging or no longer charging, it’s important to replace it with the correct type. These boards are only compatible with their original battery type — you can’t upgrade or switch to a newer model’s battery.


🔋 What battery do I need?

You’ll need a GT Series 1 battery made specifically for the Gen 1 GT Carbon board. This is the only battery that will fit the enclosure and work with the motor controller.


⚠️ Important:

  • You cannot use a GTR battery or any other model’s battery in the GT board.

  • Batteries are not cross-compatible across board generations or series.

  • If your battery is bulging, stop using the board immediately and do not attempt to charge it. This is a safety risk.


🛠 Next Steps:

  • Contact our support team to check battery availability.

  • If you’re located in Australia and the board is beyond repair, we also offer a $500 trade-in credit toward a new board when retiring your GT or GTX.
