Hello all, I have this question in to the maker of the battery, but am also posting here if someone has a quick answer.. 1. A found broken wire from my charging input port to the battery.. It originates as a black wire connected to the charging port. (calibike 48v 15AH). It heat shrinks to a white extension wire that broke off clean with no trace of where it broke from, other than some where inside the cardboard battery case where the other wires are connected. The main black wire from the battery is connected to the BMS.... So my guess is, this wire, (assuming it's a ground) is connected there as well?? No matter what, looks like I got some work to do to get to where this wire connects with a solder gun.
The other wire from the charging port is red. (I'm assuming positive), It connects to the positive output of the battery. Thanks for any help.
Some further, less pertinent details; This battery has been 100% awesome. I'm at 1500+ miles, 2nd year. (with 4 months down time for winter) and it's still doing it's thing.
I took the bike on an extreme mountain bike trail journey, and took a good spill. and thats where I think did the damage. Since it charged fine yesterday.
It's a good thing this happened because I had been just trusting all the wiring I'd tucked away. On inspection, I just found my 3, wheel-to-controller connections totally melting away and ready to short out and in need of some new connectors.
