Hi all,
I've just finished replacing my BMS card on my 36V 20AH Ping battery. Ping was pretty darned helpful through the whole process given we were emailing across half the planet and two languages.
I had taken my battery out of the case and when putting it back gotten a small spark when I was plugging things together. After that it wouldn't charge.
Through countless emails, Ping guided me to test the battery until we had determined the BMS was bad. Probably fried a chip on it. He sent me another and I soldered one cable into place.
All went pretty well, except for that one detail. Ping also sent me a charger replacement. The new one looked it was not as robust as the old one but Ping wanted the old one back along with the fried BMS so I sent it off.
The new charger worked for a few rides. Now it just sits there with a green LED and doesn't start charging. I've notified Ping but am thinking perhaps I should get a more robust charger. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good model?
