Extreme team lithium died , trying to troubleshoot
Extreme Team 48v 200ah lithium battery with Evolution 58.4v 1200w LiFePO4 waterproof onboard battery charger. Navitas 5kw AC motor with 600amp controller.
All was fine up until about a week ago when after a ride I plugged the cart in to charge. The battery meter (on top of the battery) stated it was at 62% SOC. Usually, it only takes a few hours to charge and all is well. I came back out in the garage about 7 hours later still hearing the hum of the fan on the charger. I also noticed the SOC was only up to 72%. I quickly unplugged it to make sure I wasn't doing any damage. I double-checked all connections and everything looked good. I plugged it in again and it ran for about 30 min, the green light on the charger came on and it shut off itself. I took it out for a short ride and everything seemed great , until it completely lost power. Everything else on the cart worked great, lights , stereo etc. pushed it back to the house and looked at the meter , the battery app , the Navitas app and put a voltmeter on the battery. pics of those attached except the voltmeter that said 46.1v https://www.dropbox.com/s/6yhx1yoz0j...%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwkx70w4v5...%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/igyp5d1pqa...%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7x346xgbd6...%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pvgp40eq8m...%20PM.jpg?dl=0 I bought a new $400 charger from extreme team thinking that may be the issue. I spoke with a young lady when I called them and the best advice she could give was "do you belong to a forum" . Charger should be here today , hesitant to hook it up, don't want to do further damage. I feel this may be a BMS issue. watcha think? |

Re: Extreme team lithium died , trying to troubleshoot
If all of the accessories were still working it wasn't your battery that shut you down. If it was the battery, you would have lost power to everything. One other thing I noticed is that your batteries are avg 2.887V That would give you a SOC of about 8%. Your meter is telling you its 73.2% you need to calibrate your BMS. What you need to do is monitor your BMS while the car is charging. You may have one battery that is way out of balance and is tripping you off. The Daly BMS doesn't store the errors so you will never know unless you're watching.

Re: Extreme team lithium died , trying to troubleshoot
Your battery is flat!
46.1v total pack voltage and/or 2.853v cell voltage is a dead battery. The battery has not shut down yet as it’s cutoff thresholds are lower than those voltages but your Navitas has to protect the battery, hence the reason why your motor has stopped but your accessories are still going. Your Daly app will never show the correct SOC, never, ever, so don’t trust it, especially when drawing low currents with the accessories. The other SOC should be fairly accurate depending on how it’s connected. Is it also measuring the current draw from the 48v-12v reducer? Or is the reducer bypassing the measurement shunt? Cheers Pat. |

Re: Extreme team lithium died , trying to troubleshoot
Thank you kindly for the replies.
I ordered a new charger and hope to get it hooked up soon to rule some things out. I will monitor the BMS while charging and share my findings. |

Re: Extreme team lithium died , trying to troubleshoot
What warranty do they have? Sounds like you should be asking for warranty help.
