SPECIALIZED SL battery short circuit - any ideas?

[czyznik]

Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding the 13s2p battery for the SPECIALIZED VADO SL (SBC-B15) bicycle. I accidentally shorted the battery pins. I checked the cells, the voltages of each one are OK, the entire package is 53V, but the TCU does not see the batteries (the e-bike cannot be turned on, the diodes do not light up). Can anyone advise what to check, whether the BMS is blocked, what diagnostic steps to take? Indicates a link to the battery specifications: SL Batteries
I'm attaching some photos of MoBo.

Hello,

I would first check the SCF fuse and power mosfets. But if you disconnected the upper board, it's possible you triggered a protection in BMS firmware.

Hello
I have maybe simular problem, when i press power button its flash the lights ang switch off.
The battery was opened and a blown fuse was fixed with jumper, but it did not help.
How to understend battery is blocked or motor is blocked?
Thanks

Hi, I think you don't have a battery problem, since the voltage reaches the TCU. Try pressing the button on the TCU briefly/1-2s and a second time longer/2-3s, it should turn on. Have you modified the factory wiring (light switch, GPS, chip )?

i bought it used so can only guess...
the bike does not see charging, there are no signs of life.

Have you checked the charger, the pins in the charger connector and the charging socket on the bike?

If the battery is dead, that's a problem.

This is a non-repairable part, the BMS company blocks the battery if you break the current circuit.

I sent my battery to a professional service that deals with regeneration/repair, they were helpless, they sent the battery back.

The solution to the problem, quite expensive, was to buy a new battery/from the second-hand market.

It's true, the BMS firmware will trigger a lock if a serious error occurred. But I can unlock any Specialized BMS. The only problem is that I need physical access to the battery.

@cream you seem to know your stuff with regards to batteries, do you think it is possible to build a pack for an SL using 21700 cells and the OE BMS?

how to contact you?
