True.

You would have to send it back to a service center for repair. The cost and down time is still cheaper than another hoverboard fire, this time due to a shorted wire instead of overcharging.

Alternatively the BMS in the battery case would have overload protection or a user reset-able circuit breaker. I wonder what the UL rules are for power circuits. Suck up the shorted wire heat until the owner safely gets off, or shut down immediately to avoid a fire?
