HELP. I have a Ping 48V20Ah LiFePO4,which I had split into two batteries by Ping so I could mount them on each side of my bike. The battery is about 4 months old. For the first 4-5 charges the 8th LED would not come on. Finally on the 6th charge it came on but has never gone off. It stays lit all of the time. I only use about 8Ah between charges, have never run it to the low voltage cut off, and I charge it after every ride. It has never been abused.The battery has 14 charges on it.
Today while riding after only using a little over 2Ah of power according to my Cycle Analyst my power was cut off. I checked all connections, unplugged then replugged the battery, As soon as I hit the throttle it cut off.
I checked voltages in the cells when I got home. All cells in one half of the battery were between 3.34V and 3.1V, a max. difference of .03V. When I checked the other half of the battery the voltages were between 2.61V to 2.57V, a difference of .04V but clearly this half had a much lower voltages. What would cause this? Is my BMS bad?
Thanks in advance for your help.
