Hi, so I have a 60v 25ah lithium battery17s fully charges to 71.4v) and recently with the cold weather etc I left my stealth bomber in a outhouse where it is very cold, when I went out the other week I charged the battery when it was freezing and noticed the battery was on 66v just after a short ride when normaly the same distance at the same speed etc I have about 69-70v left I've done some testing today when charging the battery when it's room temp and its fully charging to 71.2v but when I take it off the charger it reads 71.1v what could this be and is it a major problem? Also it shows 71.1v through the actual charger port then shows 0v after about 30 seconds.
So I'm not sure If that's just the BMS or something but I didn't realise I shouldn't charge the battery when it's that cold until I looked online lol
I'm not a pro with these batteries so any help would be appreciated thanks.

Sounds pretty normal to me, cold batteries act differently and don't accept the full Ah but will show near full voltage. A lessen learnt make sure batteries are at ambient room temp for a couple of days before attempting charging, never though leave to close to a very hot source.

Now I'm even more confused lmao it says on the sabvoton app my battery is 71.96v how can it be that when it fully charges at 71.4v?

The app is obviously wrong.
