October 28, 20187 yr I have a 36 Volt battery ( MOTO70R Li 36V 10Ah ) that is not charging. When pressing the check button on the battery it shows just a red light, and none of the greens light up. When I take a reading with a voltmeter it shows 34.6 volts. The battery has been left sitting uncharged for quite a long time and this might be the problem. I have left the battery on charge over night and there is no change. Do you think this battery is on sleep mode and can be woken?
October 28, 20187 yr Perhaps you could also check the output from your charger. Edited October 28, 20187 yr by JuicyBike
October 28, 20187 yr Author Perhaps you could also check the output from you charger. You clever chap! I had two chargers and the one I was using had the green light on, but nothing outputting at the end. Tried the other one and had 41V. Plugged in into battery and now have one green light on the battery. Thank you. Could you please have a look at my other posts today, you seem to be a man of knowlege.
October 28, 20187 yr Author Perhaps you could also check the output from you charger. I have let it charge for a while and I am getting 39.2 volts from the battery now. Is that too high, or does that sound about correct?
October 28, 20187 yr I have let it charge for a while and I am getting 39.2 volts from the battery now. Is that too high, or does that sound about correct? You have to try for 42v, 41.5v is just fine but shows the battery is starting to wear.
October 28, 20187 yr Author As you know your batteries, can you tell me what this 3 wire JST connector with blue green and red wires would be doing connecting to the three outputs on my battery between positive and negative? This picture is the behind where the battery connects too and holds the controller unit.

This picture is the behind where the battery connects too and holds the controller unit. It will be probably be sending state of charge or other battery information to the controller. What does it plug into?
October 28, 20187 yr Author I only wish I knew. I am trying to re connect my controller and the controller does not seem to have an inputs for it. Yes, I know I should have marked all the cables before unclipping them. See attached charts to follow my wiring plan. And I don't seem to have a Male three pin JST connector spare from the controller for item (D) 5 and 8 are still vacant, but they are female and I am working on these being for rear brake sensor (G) and Thumb throttle (H). Not sure which way round for those two. I think that 8 must be the brake, as the cables did split into two, and then one seem to be cut off. I am guessing that this is because there is a King Meter rear brake sensor on the rear brake and nothing on the front. If they had used brake cut outs on the handle bar brakes levers, there would have been a second connector from there. Thank you for sharing your experience.
