Hi Team,
Need some help please.
I think my 10s BMS died due to water damage?
It no longer powers on my VESC not does it charge.
I take my multimeter and the 10s5p 30Q battery itself outputs a healthy 38.2v. By the time it goes through the BMS, it shows only 28.7v… my Focbox Unity is fine as it works when plugged into another battery. Pics below.
Any ideas? If the reco is to replace the BMS, what should I get? Or just buy the same model (I think it’s a Bestech) so that I don’t have to mess with the balance leads?
Did you also unplug your balance port and check the voltages of each cell group? It’s pretty common for BMS’s to output below minimum voltage when a fault is triggered. Also does the BMS output voltage match the charge port/plug output voltage.
Hi! Thanks for looking!
Yep. P groups are balanced:
Voltage Readings from bottom of PCB: 3.8 7.6 11.5 15.3 19.1 22.9 26.7 30.5 35.3 38.2
Charge port voltage says 28.4v vs BMS output voltage of 28.7v.
Hmm… I don’t have anything to test with atm. I need my hairdryer. LoL can I just use the phase wires of my actual motors? Or would that not work? Thanks!
