Yesterday I noticed that my bike battery seems to be drained almost empty when I switch it on, there was little light in ca screen but no numbers. Bike was sitting about three months and all that time tranformer of the headlight was on. My mistake.
Battery pack is 20s9p 72v li ion with LG hg2 cells and I measured it only 8 volts! I connected the charger and it started pretty soon charge it. I tried couple of times but finally charger stayed on.
Now, after about 11 hours (normally it takes maybe 7 hours from 60v to 84v) pack was full 84v and also balanced normally. I drove little test drive and it worked normally, now because of cold weather, it is hard to tell is there any noticeable lost of battery capacity. Also during the charging there was no heated cells at all, pack feeled cold all the time. Tomorrow I must check that is there any self discharge happened but today everything seems to be fine. When I unpluged the charger, there was no voltage drop.
My only concern is now that is there any fire risk to live with that battery?
