Ability to set max charge level when not on a job

I’ve never reset it before.

The battery’s capacity has been slowly decreasing over the past maybe 1.5 weeks or so. I’ve just been monitoring it to see what happens. I was hopeful it would self resolve. Nope. Even after restarting the robot a few times, it still won’t self resolve.

So now I’ll do the BMS reset (unplug battery for 4 hours) and see what happens.

Mine is peaking at 96%. Looks like this could be a wide spread issue. Must be software.

Let’s hope it’s that simple

Mine is now down to 84% max charge. I’ll go pull the battery for the ‘reset’ shortly.

I going to keep an eye on this. I rotate batteries so I swap them out every couple days based on the work plan if it is needed.

So I wonder if this is why I am not seeing these charging characteristics. Just a thought.

I guess by default the battery BMS is always resetting eventually when not in use.

Interesting. Yep. You’re probably ‘resetting’ the BMS by nature of rotating them.

But why is this problem just starting to happen now? Wasn’t an issue for anyone during the warm weather months.

Makes me wonder if it’s a newly introduced bug (hopefully) versus an actual defect in the battery.

Yarbo is whining about the temperature:

HVAC is whining about the temperature:

I should have gone south for the winter!

Welp, out to manually shovel like a loser. Stay warm boys!

You could move into @rcguymike neighborhood

Wow. Where are you located Ken?

At the dining room table. :wink:

Central Ohio. North of Columbus.

I guess here’s where I need to bring up the fact that you’re. Buckeye and I’m a Wolverine…

@ken.w.gregory - still working on the pies from Thanksgiving ?

Sports ball… :wink:

Do love the fall colors of the UP though…..

To be honest, I’m not a sports fan at all. But it’s almost obligatory to mention “the rivalry”.

Best time to go shopping is during an OSU game. Except maybe shopping for TVs. The men who got forced out of the house are watching the game at the TV section of EVERY store.

Hardly any traffic and no lines at the checkout.

No pies left from Thanksgiving. Currently squatting on my wife dining room table with my Mac. I’m sure I’ll be moving shortly. :wink:

I had to do that this morning as well, at least I got a good arm workout with the snowcaster :zany_face:

12/13 was pretty chilly according to Yarbo :smiley:

MANUALLY shovel?? What’s that?? Sounds terrible… And cold! lol

Sorry. Hopefully you’ll be back up and running soon.
