Re: Is the BMS preventing charge?
Usually if one cell group is off or out of range. Let's say one groups is at 3,3v and the rest at 4,2v. It will not permit charge or discharge depending on the bms layout or functions. (Putting it in the charger won't equalize this. Maybe it will charge for sometime and then you'd get a 1km out of i...

Re: kWeld - "Next level" DIY battery spot welder
Hello again I just updated my a123 life battery of 2s2p with another 2s2p of a123 26650 s (to use it instead of my other battery 4s40AH lipo 12C rated 1750A in CAL) From having about 800A of power at the CAL it now outputs between 950-1077A, charged and sitting at 6,58v so not fully charged but stil...

Re: mixed Pb + Lifepo
I know. I know that mixing these into one pack is a bad idea. I do read warnings about it, but I have not found a good explanation. I do want to know the details of what would happen during charge and discharge cycles if I added a 12V SLA to a pack made up of 16 LiFePO4 15Ah cylindrical cells. Than...

Re: Ebike Battery pack got unbalanced. Reasons?
I hate it. I mean I got new packs that has unbalanced cells and if you read one group they can be 3.0v when the rest are sitting at 4.0v. BMS cuts charge at different voltages for a 36v battery; 37,5v. 38,5v 40,5v . Total capacity measured before BMS cuts again at discharge can be from 3,5% to 15% c...

Re: kWeld - "Next level" DIY battery spot welder
Just got my welder working after having a former battery being used tested at 750-850A that didn't give any welds. I'm now using a battery that gives out 1860A and maybe I can add some cells to get the last Amps as well if I want. Tried some welding and checking nickel holding onto the cells and 50J...

Re: using repackr
You need to input each cells value in mah that you have measured. The results will make your pack with your available cells "as even" as possible as we know groups of cells acts as one. Why use this. If one cell group is 10ah in your 13s pack after you and the rest sits at 11ah. Then the p...

Re: Mixing lipo and lithium ion batteries
Possible. Yes But they may have different voltage curves and their specific energy may be in different voltages areas. So lipos have energy in the higher voltage range and if you compare them to 18650 li-ions they may have their most energy in a lower area around 3,5-3,8v area What effects does this...

Here's another Dolphin battery pack with a fault that is easily spotted. Pretty much not the same problem as the first packs in the first post.
48v 14ah measured capacity at 7,5% with one cell group showing imbalance or fault

Re: Suspect and odd voltages Dolphin case battery please join in and help
So. Drained and then charged all cells after putting them at the same SOC. Results are however bad as cell groups differs from 4.26v to 4.02v in the fully charged pack Some cell groups thus does carry more capacity than other groups and by a big margin. The 4.02v group has the most capacity and or h...

Thanks goatman. Reasons are to find ways to fault search batteriers as fast as possible as well as finding the correct fault as if this takes to much time they are sent to the grave and recycling yard.

Battery The problem. Unknown. What I suspect is that it has been manufactured in the wrong way at the minus poles as you shouldn't spot weld in the center of them. Can anyone give me any clue to what might be the issue. Any other hypothesises would be appreciated as main reason for this is sharing a...

Re: Upgrading 60v 30A battery to 60v 48A or 52A for Super Soco CU3S
I understand you don't want to buy another battery of 60v 30ah.
Can you build your own battery?
Do you know someone who can or do know a little about electronics?
The easiest solution would be to bring your charger when you ride or get an extra of the same or buy a faster charger.

Re: kWeld - "Next level" DIY battery spot welder
It depends on your work piece. 0.1mm nickel doesn't require much current, but 0.3mm nickel much more. kCap is limited to 0.2mm, and for 0.3mm a battery should deliver at least 1400A. I found the answer earlier in the thread. flippy. I will try that. Also setup a different battery for 0.3mm when doi...

But when I connect a fully charged battery to the 72080 the red light comes on and the connector sparks as usual. But on the mqcon app it says LACK VOLTAGE. LACK VOLTAGE means the battery connected has to low voltage to run the motor. Go into the MQCON app. Change low voltage settings to a lower vo...
