RobH Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi all. Just noticed the voltmeter on my Nikola Plus is displaying "-.-.-.", when powered on. Everything else appears to be working fine, charges to 97% (over 2yrs old with 2.5k miles on the clock). Tried turning off & on several times and doing a static wheel spin, but no change. Anyone else had a similar problem? 🤔 Thank you 🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arbolest Posted September 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Even though the wheel's "full" voltage is just over 100v, the voltmeter can actually only display up to 99.9v, so whenever the voltage is higher it just displays dashes. Just ride your wheel around for a while and it will start displaying properly once the voltage drops a bit Edited September 6, 2021 by Arbolest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Lämpel Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The max voltage of 100 Volt wheels is actually 100.8 Volts. That is where the charger stops charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it for a local ride and the display now functioning as expected due to being below 100v. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Ok it seems it was all a bit of a red herring in the end. The Darknessbot app was the one showing the lower %age (Gotway App showing 100%). Checked Darknessbot app again after recent recharge and volts upto 100.9v (but still displayed 97% battery). So that equals a 100% charge in my opinion! 👍 Thank you all for your comments! 🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_bike_kite Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If you ever want to convert the voltage to a battery percentage but don't have an app then just subtract 80 and then multiply by 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
