    Give your board a good solid charge and leave it on after the light goes green for as long as you can, at least 8 hours. That error normally means the cells need balancing. :thumbsup:

    So after leaving it on to charge for 8+ and getting back on it this morning the "Mantain Bat!" Warning came up again. Like I mentioned the fix I cause the warning to disappear.
    The fix
    1.turn the board and remote off
    2. Turn the board on followed by the remote
    3. Put board in to fast or GT
    4. Lift the wheels up and pull be throttle for a few second

    After doing that and getting back on the board the warning goes away until I put the board back into charge.
    I am speaking to someone from evolve and will keep you posted on what we end up going.

    @Thicklondonfog Firstly, does your photo show the board at 100% charge? If so, then the cells are looking reasonably well balanced. What you are looking for is for all 10 cells to be as close to 4200 mV, but more importantly, to be as close to each other as possible with no more than 50mv to 100mV variance per cell. A fully charged battery will be close to 42volts when in good condition and obviously reduce over time/cycles, so you are still looking at a reasonably healthy battery readout even if your photo is showing 100% fully charged! Hope that helps with your question.
     
  10. Yes, the board was at full charge. Thanks for that info!
