Hi guys
Someone has asked me to find out why their eScooter isn't powering up
Opened up the base and tested the battery which is current only at about 1v (it's a 36v 10s3p battery) so something isn't quiet right. Apparently the scooter has been stored in a garage for a number of months over winter....
The charger powers up, but a steady green light at all times, even when plugged in (indicating - no charge / full)
When I go to test the charger with the voltmeter I get small spark and have to withdraw. I have red probe on pin and black on outside rim. Positive first, negative after.. doesn't seem to like being touched! Any ideas to why?
I'm assuming at this stage , the issue is likely the charger or BMS?
Any ideas about testing the charger without sparking ?
