Carbon Charging? etc

Hi All, Newbie here...

Ok. I have the Carbon Model ( Non GT). All good so far but late I've been having issues with charging.

When I plug the Charger in the Power pack illuminates Green and then plug into the Board it goes Red. Problem is that it stays RED no matter how long I leave it plugged in. Wondering if I have a battery issue? Seems to Run OK.

Im not sure how long Charging is supposed to take . The Website has no Guideline, neither does the manual. Not conducive to good battery life without that. Board Runs ok apart from that.


There is a a secondary Issue. Where the wires pass through the metal Gland from the motor, the wires are getting damaged. I notice that the board would brake all of a sudden. I Disconnected the motor and found that some of the wires outer casing had worn through and were either shorting on the Metal gland or were touching other wires within the loom. As I'm an electrician I was able to do a repair. I don't believe a Metal Gland is a good idea for starters . Along with this the aperture for the wires is far to small therefore you can only expect an erosion issue. A better idea would have been to use male and female connectors within the Loom for easy connection/disconnection. Anyone else had this issue.

 

I was concerned about leaving it charging while I wasn't home. I left it on overnight (red LED) and this morn LED was green so appears OK. Thanks for reply

 

just had this very same problem. Going to see how far it rides tomorrow as it has sucked so far

 

Ummm. Your supposed to plug the charger on to the board first then to the wall. It states it on the instructions. Maybe a reason it says that.. just a thought

 

I'd *really* love evolve (if they haven't already) to hire electricians/instrument techs on their next board.. so many minor issues related to bluetooth, wiring, interference etc.. :/

Any other issues with your gen2 carbon? I'm currently trying to troubleshoot an issue with the BMS / board turning off / cutting-out mid ride.
