Honker Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I just got a KS16X. It's my first personal electric vehicle - it's awesome. I've ridden nearly 260 kms. I'm charging it. It app says its 100% charged but the light on the charger is still RED. It didnt turn GREEN. Has anyone had this happen before. Not sure if I should just keep charging it or not.

Regarding your concern - the app reports 100% once the voltage reaches 4.2V per cell. But li ion cell charging consists of a constant current stage which charges the cells to about 80-90% and let them reach this 4.2V. After this the constant voltage stage starts for the rest of the 20-10% real charge % during which the voltage stays (as the name of this stage describes) more or less constant at 4.2V. The app showing 100% after the constant current stage is just outright wrong! Edited October 25, 2020 by Chriull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honker Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes, if you could move to ks forum that would be great...i'm new to the site wasn't sure where to post it. thanks for your response.
