I was riding home on the BrumBeast when suddenly the board cut out throwing me on my face in the middle of the road.
The issue breaks down like this;
I rebuilt everything again to check for problems and after recalibrating the motors unloaded i tested it again.
As soon as i accelerated on the board with me on, it cut out and then wont power back on.
To get the power button to work again have to plug in the charge cable and then the power button works again without issues till i try and ride the board.
This has got to be a bms issue shorting and staying off till charging the board resets it?
the BMS is a Bestech HCX-D596 12S 80A BMS, 12s4p samsung 30q battery
the Focbox Unity showing no faults in console.
the motors appear to work fine unloaded no cutting out!!!
Man what a run of luck on this thing now
If anyone can assist in what i can do to troubleshoot more or tests to narrow down the issue i would appreciate the help.
As an update I have rewired the BMS to charge only and direct discharge that got everything working.
However the Battery doesnt charge through the BMS and clearly a faulty BMS is the problem here.
Just need to test the cells ensure theres no possibility its a dead cell or problem pack and then replace the BMS.
Not looking forward to the fiddly soldering work connecting a BMS to the cell packs
