e-beach said:As for your battery, since we didn't get any cell readings before you went for your ride we don't know if the 5th cell had a full charge before you rode.
The long charging time is to make sure the bms has time to balance your cells. The bleed resistors in the bms are small and work slowly.
I didn't do that, but the battery basically sat overnight. I can't see there being much change. I did notice though the BMS lights will blink back and forth quite some time. I will let it sit on charger till about 3pm Monday either way.
If I unplug the BMS cable while it's blinking, take a reading and plug it back in and let it continue the blinking back and forth, will that effect anything ?
Should it turn out that it is a weak cell, shoud I just replace the pack vs mixing new with old ?
