One of my packs cutout on me last week, so before i charged it, i measured the cell volts to see which one might have been the culprit .
1 2.714v
2 2.885v
3 3.222v
4 2.688v
5 3.199v
6 3.209v
7 3.221v
8 3.221v
9 3.211v
10 2.929v
11 3.264v
12 3.267v
Although my pack takes a while to balance ok (charger shuts off and switches on many times) i was a bit disappointed to see about 3 cells quite a bit lower than the others. I recharged the pack, saw a few leds switching on and off, went back later and they are all off....odd?
So, i thought i'd ride the bike a couple of times, discharge the pack and re-charge.
This time i watched the pack while charging and sure enough , there is balancing going on but there is a long time between the charger off and on times and no leds illuminated....as if BMS(signalab) was shutting off charger.
I remeasured the cell volts after charging
1 3.369v
2 3.383v
3 3.396v
4 3.377v
5 3.459v
6 3.902v...wow!
7 3.413v
8 3.450v
9 3.511v
10 3.393v
11 3.492v
12 3.415v
Again, charger switches off and doesn't switch back on. I presume the BMS is shutting down because that channel reaches of HVC?
Why would cell 6 be so much higher than the other cell volts?
