nickysneids Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Title says most of it. My rapid charger starts immediately but my stock slow charger seems to take a good 10-15 minutes before it recognizes it needs to to start charging. Is my charger going or should I be concerned with the wheel itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xorbe Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Sounds like a charger problem at first guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickysneids Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Rebooting this thread, wheel currently isn't charging with my 5A fast charger. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I should proceed with testing? I'm getting ready to check for loose cables now but I have a multi-meter if testing the charging port would do anything. @Chriull do you have any thoughts or know who I could ask?

nickysneids Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) I realize this thread is in the wrong forum... sorry about that! As far as updates go I took it apart and found that one of the cables seemed slightly loose. I disconnected and reconnected the cables and it's now charging! I'll probably wrap up these connections in some electrical tape to ensure a more stable and firm connection. As a side note, this doesn't make 100% sense to me. When it was originally not charging and I left the stock charger plugged into it for awhile it eventually started up again. Not sure why a slightly loose cable would work like this but I'm going to proceed with assuming that that was the source of the issue and I just don't fully understand what the cable connection did.

We can move the topic if you want, though. What wheel/charger are we talking about? MCM5? The loose cable is on the charger?

What wheel/charger are we talking about? MCM5? The loose cable is on the charger? I figured maybe this was better suited for the mods/repairs section but if you're cool with it here I'm cool! As far as the actual issue, I'm talking about the MCM5 wheel. But the issue was found not with any charger I used but rather what I believe to be the cable connecting the charging port on the wheel and the battery packs.
