VESC shutting off and giving all kinds of errors at <50% charge

I’ve been having a persistent problem with my board that seems to have worsen with time. At less than 50% charge I get cut offs during acceleration and it gives me one or more of the following faults: UNDER_VOLTAGE, DRV ERROR and/or ABS_OVER_CURRENT.
Here is one of the errors:

The components of my board is from an Eskating Dual Beast, with a 12S5P battery.


These are the settings I normally use.

I tried switching to these settings but with no luck.

I did a test run during which I recorded the screen as well as the trip on the metr module:

I’ve scoured the web but to no avail so at this point I’m feeling pretty desperate. I have got some experience with building DIY’s under my belt but not so much with problems regarding the VESC so I appreciate any tips and input.

Are you 100% sure you have a 12s5p and not a 10s5p?

99% the problem lies with the battery.
Broken series connections.
Been there done that.

Gotcha! What’s funny is that I recently rebuilt the battery due to broken connections :sweat_smile:


I’ve literally only done one ride since the rebuild so I really hope it’s not the battery. But I might as well go over it again and check everything

Measured the p-groups and group 7 is at 3.2V while the rest are at 3.75V… fuck
