    Oxygen Scross MTB ongoing review

    Good to see the bike is going well after all those miles (only done 600 on mine) Q: do you have any issues with battery rattle between the frame and battery casing on your one? Trying to resolve an issue with mine at the moment and thinking rubber insert may do the trick

    Oxygen Scross MTB ongoing review

    Thanks @Nealh appreciate the advice. This pack has had a replacement bms. Pack was charging to 42v but has gradually lowered after each chargeto 40.8v over the last 12 months. I guess its worth opening up the pack & disconnecting / reconnecting bms too see if that resets the issue?

    Nice job with those offset caps. Are you planning anything extra to cool the charger? Run mine top cover removed and cool circuitry with 12v desk fan. Gives me peace of mind when on charge.
