    View attachment 513 I was checking today my evolve gt carbon remote control in the advanced menu which has info about the rpm and the amperage draw also the battery recycle counter and the cells voltage
    that what i found today is that i checked the recycle counterand today says 0 but yesterday was saying around 30. also the battery cells voltage is stacked and doesn't change values and the amp current always shows 0 amp. in the info menu it shows the voltage of the battery and the id of the battery
    Even if my battery is fully charged the menu with the cells battery voltage shows 36,375 volts and always that number !!

    i think somehow it got stucked or its not reading the battery's info
    I tried tho open the board and check all the cables and they are all in place.
    Probably th battery's bms always sends the same values !
    yesterday it was working right !
    Any thoughts ??

    I think it is just for trouble shooting when servicing but I would have assumed it would function constantly and accurately. I have been told its a hidden menu because they dont want people worrying about it. Originally it wasnt hidden.
    My board is almost fully charged but shows much lower values as well.

    Yes I know for what it is but mine is just stucked and doesn't work any more, just shows the same values like a screen shot
     
  4. Can anyone please tell me the meaning of "Recycle Count" showing in the 2nd Picture?

    When will it count up?

    This is the count of charge cycles for the battery. One charge cycle is 100% of battery used.
    This does not mean every time you charge it, it can be used over 4 charges and 25% used for each ride between charges. it will add 1 cycle.
    Thats the theory anyway but doesn't always go like that.

    Its worth noting as well that these batteries should last longer if 20 - 30% of the battery is left before charging.
    Lithium battery do not like using 100% of there charge. They can but this won't help with life of the battery.
