Hi, first post so please bear with me.
Just picked up a dead Ecoreco M3. Dead as in no sign of life at all, doesn't power up. A new battery with BMS from Ecoreco is nearly $400 ... My goal, though, is to get this scoot back on the road with minimal outlay.
All I've had time to do so far is remove and visually inspect the battery. Specs are 12-cell, 36v 8ah. BMS is this one: http://www.likuso.com/apro/pro1-fc1acfec7a0.html
I'm a relative novice at this sort of stuff but I learn quickly. A few years back I did a lithium conversion on my Vectrix VX-1, so I know just enough to be dangerous. I'd greatly appreciate help and guidance as I figure out what my approach is going to be. If I'm lucky perhaps a trickle charge and a new BMS is all it needs. Or maybe I'll end up building an 18650 pack for it. Who knows.
First step I guess will be to break out the voltmeter and see what state the battery is in. Will try to do that tomorrow, and I'll upload some pictures too.
Cheers
JB
