It was too late for me to start messing around with it but I’m hoping it’s just one battery that’s gone funky in which case I’ll swap it tomorrow and I’ll be back up and running. Cheers & Happy Independence Day!
So to follow up I pulled the positive lead off the last battery that was reading -35.3 volts and then tested it by itself. It read 12.4 volts which scared me that something else was really wrong. I bolted all the leads that go to the pack positive side back on the screwy battery and tested it again. Now it read normal again. So after charging and not letting it rest yet the whole pack reads 57.4v.
So each battery is averaging 14.1 volts. Sounds a little high to me but idk. Anyways, I’m back up and running. Have a good weekend y’all. Cheers!
