I'm trying to help a guy get his bike going again. The history was that it stopped working, and the problem was diagnosed as faulty BMS, so a new one was bought and then the charger went pop when it it was plugged in, so he got a new charger, and the new charger has never charged it. The green light is on all the time. I measured 60v on the charger output.
All the stuff is from Conhismotor: 48v 30AH LiFePO4 battery, 5 amp charger, 60 amp BMS
Here's the links:

The battery has a 16 pin balance lead connector, although the description of the battery says 16S, so I'm guessing that it uses the battery 0v as the 17th lead.
The problem at the moment is that with the battery measuring 52v, I'm only getting 36v out of the BMS and the charger doesn't want to do anything, so my questions are: Did the BMS get damaged when the first charger went pop (maybe wrong polarity?). If so, would it be repairable? Could someone recommend a not to expensive 40+amps BMS, ideally with the 15 pin connector, or should I get yet another replacement from Conhismotor?
Any help appreciated.
