What keeps the battery charged on a scooter?
The the regulator keeps the voltage from rising above the required voltage. Of course the alternator must provide more power than needed by the vehicle load so the battery will stay charged.
How do you start a drained battery on a scooter?
TURN KEY TO ON POSITION
- Insert the keys to your scooter and twist until they reach the “on” position.
- If your scooter’s battery has failed, this shouldn’t cause anything to happen.
- You’ll need to leave the keys inserted and turned to the “on” position in order to successfully kick-start your scooter.
Do you need a battery to kickstart a scooter?
Yes, you can ride a bike without a battery without any problem as long as your vehicle has a kick-start as well to start. There is of course an option to push-start your bike if you’re up for it every time. I used my Pulsar for a year without a battery without any significant problems.
Can a Botox scooter communicate with a BMS?
Yes, the scooter communicates with the BMS via simple UART. Just connect the BMS to the 3pin on the scooter that says R T L. R = Receive, T = Transmit, L = Light. Do I have to patch the main controller to get it to work with this self-made battery?
How does a battery management system ( BMS ) work?
Measuring cell voltage can get complex since it requires high accuracy and might also inject switching noises from mux apart from this every cell is connected to a resistor through a switch for cell balancing. To overcome these problems an AFE – Analog Front end IC is used. An AFE has built-in Mux, buffer and ADC module with high accuracy.
Is there a charger on a Botox scooter?
There is no charging circuit on the scooter. The charger does all of the charging stuff 😀 And yeah all you need for lithium batteries is CC/CV. The current goes straight into the batteries. I suppose there might be some overcurrent protection on the BMS.
How to measure pack current for BMS for electric vehicles?
An AFE has built-in Mux, buffer and ADC module with high accuracy. It could easily measure the voltage and temperature with common mode and transfer the information to the main microcontroller. “How to measure pack current for BMS?”
