Testing
Testing the cells showed that they were within spec.
Cell 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3.957 | 3.959 | 3.966 | 3.968 | 3.975 | 3.969 | 3.979 | 3.985 | 3.977 | 3.988 |
I decided to disassemble the battery and test every cell. They appear to be fine. Capacity tests results were good.
When disassembling the battery, I noticed a wire with exposed copper. I assumed I hit it with the razor blade when taking it apart but it may have pre-existed.
Ordered a new Smart BMS with Bluetooth which might help diagnose future issues.

The battery would turn off when pulling higher currents. If I was easy on the throttle, I could get it to stay on.
