Has this been resolved? My BMS Battery charger died in a puff of smoke yesterday. I was looking at getting a Satiator yesterday night but came accross this problem this morning. :|

Mine's been charging various packs just fine; I've seen it a couple times in all the time I've used it (couple years now? time flies).
mistercrash said:At close to $500 CDN with the USB cable, taxes and shipping, I don't expect the charger to have bugs in it. Am I being too difficult?

Marc S. said:mistercrash said:The 48V version works fine and I've never seen any garbeld display on my Satiator that is in daily use since it came out (it was one of the first available units, still running on beta firmware at that time).
mistercrash said:Yes I need the 72V. A fix on the software is supposed to come very soon.

I can charge through the power terminals but I rather use the BMS.

Just an update for anyone else who's experienced this OLED flicker with the 72V satiator devices, the cause was fully understood and is addressable with an update to the firmware, so there is no need for any hardware mod which is fortunate. We're still doing extensive in-house testing of a V1.018 release code just to cover all bases before we make it the new standard, but if anyone wants to have it sooner just send us an email and we can get you the FW to use ASAP.
Tats said:Can someone check if this is working on a Mac pls - I've tried and after doing the check for firmware, when I try update firmware it opens a box asking me to select the file - but no file can be found. Cheers.
Tats said:Confirmed same for me - "When I double click on the v.1.019 Satiator Software Suite.app, the program will not open (OS-X 10.12.13). If I double click right after that on the older v.1.014 Satiator Software Suite.app, the v.1.019 Satiator Software Suite.app opens."
And, I cannot browse to find the new firmware.

This is without any batter plugged in.
When I do plug my battery in, I get little pop spark at the charging connection.
