Hi All,
Apologies up front for a basic question....
I have Lifepo4 48V EBay special that powers my home made ebike.
6 months ago I stopped using the bike and now I went to charge it at its nominal 60V and it is not retaining its charge at all.
I read somewhere that if the cells fall below 2.6v then it's not wise to try and recover the battery cells.
The battery has been connected to the bike for all this time draining. Yes I know this is a stupid rookie mistake but I guess I am wondering if there is a recommended fix. There is a built in BMS and I am looking for guidance before I start to break into the blue shrink wrap.
Any advice would be appreciated even if it is 'go but a new one'.
Thanks in advance Chris.
