Did I make the wrong call? says 100% being not charged

good point, ill just use the one atm.

A lot of times those voltage meters need to be set to something like ā€œ10 seriesā€ ā€œlithiumā€ or whatever. Make sure it’s set right

You need to set it to the right battery type you have and then ā€œstringā€ is the amount of series you have in your battery

something sounds familiar about this…yeah if i were you I’d cut into the pack and measure from the BMS plug, better safe than sorry. In my case it was a dead p group. I need to be clear my problem was caused by the BMS…the part that controls charging for the number 4 p group was shorted. (I’m sorry i don’t know the tech talk) in my case it was not a cell issue.

Question. Just got a Psychotiller battery from a friend that only charges to 47%. Is it a bad p group, bms not balancing?

@b264

possible to make I could make a ā€˜half assed’ heat-sink using this expoxy?

ā€œaluminium filled pourable epoxy for making moulds, patterns and holding fixtures that can be machined, drilled or tappedā€

Is this too tight?

Sounds like a bad P group

It could be a p group that has drained to low for the bms to charge it…?

That’s what I’m thinking, I just hope it isn’t multiple p groups

Do you have a multimeter or any voltmeter?

I do but I’m not comfortable playing around with the battery. I did measure it at 36.5v at 47%

Is it a 12s? @thisguyhere has a very nice article how to check/fix drifted groups…

Nah, but any tighter and I’d switch to red.

Thats the thing. I had red on and had to loosen them so much that i lost one while riding (never found it)
Red is too hard and orange almost too soft. (i would tighten them even more if they weren’t on max already.

Front or rear?
