Default Re: Losing power on newly converted to 48v

I assume I will connect voltmeter to just that battery not the pack?

anyone have a trick on how to get the voltmeter probes to stay, while driving?
Being a duct tape fan I might just use it to hold the probes.

Get some alligator clips and wire and make your connections that way.

Charger is in the "ready" state. pack is 48.0 volts. That one battery is 5.6 volts. The rest are 6.0-6.1 volts.
The charger is unplugged. I will see where the pack settles in 12 hours. But seems like I'm not getting a full charge.

I will test that battery under load tomorrow.

That pack voltage is pretty low for just charged batteries. Do you know anyone that has a 48 volt charger you could try?

unfortunately no. everyone I know is 36v.

I have a 6v charger, should try to charge that 1 battery?

You are definitely not getting a fully charged pack, I can run for miles before mine "drops" to 48 volts. If these are new batteries I would take the one back that is not showing a full charge and just get them to swap it out.

After sitting for 12 hours the pack reads 47.6v.
7 of the batteries are reading 6.0v.
1 is reading 5.2

My concerns are that one battery is bad, and that the charger is not fully charging the pack.
Could a bad battery cause the charger to not fully charge?
