Hi all users, this will be my first post, but I've been reading a lot since last year or so.
I bought mine on second handed with 30 000km (18 750 miles) with a B9 fault. then after a few rides the battery went from 90 to 0% and made me think that the batteries were having issues. I started checking one by one and measure their capacity.
some of them are dead, without any capacity to receive or give power, and some are still working. not as fine as I would expected, but currently I 'm buying them from china and replacing the bad ones. here are my results so far, there are still a few batteries to measure their capacity, but look promissing. at least I will be able to rearrange the complete pack of bateries and make them more even.
When I was riding the bike and it sopped, I checked the dash board, and it said that some slots were almost depleated while the others were better. That's why I disassembled all slots and check one by one.

I have already 40 batteries to replace and order 10 more. I built a excel sheet to help me to rearrange the batteries so in the end every slot having the same capacity as all (balancing the complete package  7x4=28 slots)

I got the exact same problem. on my first ride home I had 100% SOC and as soon as I hit the freeway (100km/h) the bike shut off.
The bike immediatly said 0% SOC. the thing is that i was able to drive home slowly. as soon as I hit the throttle the bike was shutting down again.

I am planning to swap the batteries out for completely different modules (from a volvo XC40) 4s3p * 7 with 196Ah.
so that totals to about 20kwh. the only thing is that the cmu's need to be swapped with the modules. as the bms has a rare canbus signal as far as I researched.

With all the new cells, how much range did you get ?

Hello, I've not been posting as far away from home however I would like to add to this thread. The Brammo or Victory software requires the rs485 to have a FTDI  chip. FT232RL USB to RS485 . On my bike the low battery warning displays at anything less than 20 per cent. gyvermc are you able to charge the batteries? The bike will shutdown to protect the batteries when the charge level is low.
Have you looked at the .drv or .chg files on the memory stick to see if it's one module causing issues. The battery software will flag some errors however the cells are not under load.
Interested to see how this develops. Great work.

Hi, I know this is a little off topic, but where were you able to find the software to read the CHG and DRV files from the log usb ?

Currently, I'm buying more from aliexpress and rebuilding all 7 batteries. but not all the 252 units, for now only 52. Whitout the new ones I had less than 4kW/h to use on the bike, and one of the 7 batteries were preaty bad, while all the others were at 50%, the bad one was already at 0%, thats why I was having the B40. Whit the new ones I'm reaching 6kW/h.

Hi patrick, Why are you buying new cells from aliexpress? is'nt it better to swap out all battery modules for better ones ?
