UPD:
CNHL sent a replacement battery. In my book, that's a proper solution to the problem. Thumbs up to them.
Hi all!
Had a bash with a Kraton 4S v2.5 today. Stock. The only thing I did was set motor timing 1 step lower (from 22.5 to 18.75) and LVC one step lower as well (from 3.5 to 3.4).
- Temperature outside was around +3C/37.4F
- Battery almost new, just a few full charges, 4S, 6600mah. All cells were 4.20v when charged (maybe one was 4.19v or so).
- Nothing crazy. No jumps at all, just surface bashing.
I did hit LVC. The car stopped, ESC LED was flashing red with short single beeps. Checked the battery. It was 3.49 / 2.92 / 3.50 / 3.57. After a few hours got back home. Checked again and it is 3.52 / 3.14 / 3.53 / 3.60.
What should I do? Try to balance? (I use Ovonic X1)
Or this is considered dangerous and I should do the salt water thing?
Any advice appreciated.
I will of course contact the battery seller and ask questions.
Thanks a lot!
