I'm a noob/ametuer trying to get my battery pack working for about a week now, and I'm reaching my wits end.
I hit a pothole while using a rear hub motor and I'm not completely sure what happened to the motor, The motor seized up and made a loud humming noise while turned on. I ended up pushing it home and got it in the garage to check it out. I had left the display at home because I hadn't mounted it yet. Plugged it in hoping to get an error code so I could at least find out whats wrong, but the battery lasted about 5 seconds before shutting off.
At this point, I haven't even touched the motor and have focused solely on the battery, because I have other functional motors that I can use. The battery has an external button that has LEDs that give an estimation of remaining power. This ceased to function, and the battery would not take a charge, or output any power. I've since disassembled the pack and tested connections between all the batteries, and they're giving consistent voltage. Checked the fuse with a multimeter and it's still reading. Some quick research led me to believe that something may be wrong with the BMS. After recieving a new BMS, I hooked it up to no avail - all the problems still persist.
I guess I need to start peeling all the glue out and checking out every wire/connector. The reason I'm posting this is hopefully someone with more experience than I may know whats going on with my pack and maybe point me in the right direction.
