Testing the Voltage of a Foil Drive Battery or Charger

Instructions on how to test the voltage on your Foil Drive battery and charger. This process can be used across the entire range of batteries: Standard, Power, Sport, Performance and Endurance as well as the 28v & 40v chargers.

POTENTIAL FAULTS

- Charger connected to mains power and displays a green solid light. When connected to drained battery, the light remains green which indicates an issue.

-When plugged in to the battery, the battery charger displays a flashing green light.

TESTING OUTPUT DATA OF CHARGER, BATTERY AND BMS

What you'll need:

1. Multi-meter

2. Charger

3. Battery

4. Paper clip (or similar), potentially.

Instructions:

1. Adjust multi meter to DC voltage

1. Test charger first - red cable - Positive; Black cable negative. Test positive to positive, negative to negative.

Note: 33.4v - 34.7v is a normal range of power output.

TESTING THE BATTERY

1. Check cables, and connect positive to positive, negative to negative as you did when testing the charger.

Note: Take note of this percentage as you will compare it to your BMS voltage next.

(Ref video voltage = 27.98v (Testing cell charge)

TESTING BMS VOLTAGE

1. Negative prong into tiny hole between two larger holes. If your tip is too short, insert a small paperclip or similar.

2. Insert positive to positive and check voltage.

Note: 27.98v matches the battery voltage tested above. This indicates a good reading of BMS circuitry to battery cell voltage.
