The most common question related to Onewheel Pint hardware and firmware version is to check if you can use battery modifications to extend the range of the device.
Hardware Versions
All HW versions of the Pint prior including 5314 fo work with battery modifications like VnR, JW battery, and Quart.
| HW version | Modification |
| 5300 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| 5301 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| 5314 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| 5315 | To be confirmed |
Firmware Versions
Not all versions of firmware work with battery modifications. If you are running a board with Gemini 5050 you can’t run with the application connected to your board. Disconnect the app before starting your ride. It’s fine to connect change settings and then disconnect. The application tracks the battery (voltage) change compared to mileage traveled and can detect if a modification has been done to the board.
If you want to check your distance traveled use another training application for tracking movement like Strava.
On the latest firmware, Gemini 5059 no battery modifications work. It is therefore recommended not to upgrade your board if you plan to do any range mods. The only way to get around this is to purchase a chip from JW battery (JWFFM). This chip removes the paring between BMS and controller and also allows for battery modifications.
| Firmware Version | Modification |
| Gemini 5042 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| Gemini 5040 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| Gemini 5046 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works |
| Gemini 5050 | VnR works, JWbattery works, Quart works Note: All battery mods work but you need to keep the app disconnected while riding. |
| Gemini 5059 | VnR will not work, JWbattery or Quart – need JWFFM chip to work |

What is VnR
VnR stands for Vamp & Ride and is a modification to your board that allows the connection of an external battery, like a power tool battery, to extend the range of the board. It’s connecting to the main leads inside the connector’s box to allow for a second battery to be connected.
The benefit of vamping is that you are not doing anything to the BMS (Battery Management System) connections with the risk of bricking your board. On the Pint, you connect inside the controller box.
