Hi everyone, so I’m about to plug my batteries (2x 5s lipo in series) into my BMS and i was measuring voltage through the balance connectors with a multimeter just to make sure the order is correct.
The first lipo pack showed the correct voltages (3.7, 7.5, 11.2, 15, 18.7) however, when I move on to the second pack, every balance lead shows up as a solid 1 on the multimeter instead of the voltages (22.4, 26.1 … etc.). I have tried putting the negative lead from the multimeter on the negative wire as well as the negative balance lead from the first lipo pack. What am I missing?
Also measuring both packs from the main pos/neg wires of them in series shows 1 as well on the multimeter instead of 37V which should be what my LiPo packs are at.
