Hi all!
I'm new here and definitely have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll apologize from the start. I (very foolishly) didn't ride my e-bike all winter and forgot to charge the battery for at least 5 months. Currently the on-board battery reads that it is full, but when I put a multi-meter on it I see no charge coming out (please note that I am using my neighbors multi-meter from the 60's so it's not as easy to see exactly what current is coming out). From everything I've read, either the battery is completely toast, or it is so low/out of balance, that the BMS is preventing it from charging. I've also read that you can disassemble the pack and test the individual cells and trickle charge to get them even, but this seems WAY over my head. Does anybody have any different ideas? I'm trying to sell the bike as it's to haul one kid and we have another on the way, but it already feels a bit unbalanced so I'm getting something more in the cargo hauler range (God help me!), but I don't want to have to buy a new battery just to sell it, and I can't really prove that everything else is in good working order with out power to the engine. Just looking for some guidance! Thanks All!
