I couldn't get on my ebike quick enough- another 15 mile round trip for pop tarts. I turned on the power switch, lit up the DCP-14 display screen, and coasted down that half mile hill to the flatlands, ready to fully depress my universal thumb throttle. Then I noticed my screen was black. I pulled over, turned it on again, and it blacked out again after a few seconds.No lit screen, no power. Tried it a couple more times, saw the 53.8 v battery readout in the upper right corner of the screen, right before it blacked out again. Failing DCP-14 display? Loose quick disconnects?.......I walked the ebike up that hill and wondered where this would all end. When I got home, I turned on the battery, pressed the 3 way switch to the display, and watched in horror as the battery voltage readings skipped all over the map, 32v to 40v to 28v to you get the idea, and the screen blacked out again. Tried again, and then it got alot worse- I heard a faint "crackling", "popping" noise coming from the brand new Luna 48v 13.4AH bottle battery! The screen hasn't come on since..... anyone out there ever heard a snap, crackle, pop from a Lithium?
