Hi I got a used new to me Giant Roam E+ that wasn't charging. So I opened the pack and charged at the main leads, by-passing the bms. This worked fine for a couple of runs. Still wouldn't charge through port though, and not with the supplied charger. Popped pack open again, and charged main ports, but this time with a different charger, and left overnight. The next morning I read 42.7v, but don't think much of it. Put the pack on the bike. It turns on briefly, then turns off. Dead. The battery led blinks when touching the button. So I took it back out, and disconnected the main ports, and put a small load on it to lower the voltage to 42V. Put battery back together, LEDs show 5 bars. I slide in battery and bike is completely dead, not turning on. I am attaching a video of holding the battery button for 5 sec. Can somebody tell me if the flashing sequence is a code and if it shows that the battery is dead or bricked? Or could I have fried the controller? I hold for 5sec, LED 1 & 3 briefly flash 2x, then LED 1 stays lit for ~1sec. I hold again for 3-5sec and LED1 & 4 briefly flash, then all 5 flash 6x. Pushing button for about 1sec shows battery full and all LEDs solid.
These are the only events that happened.
