Found this cute little guy. Battery bms seems to either be dead or cell voltage too low. Has anyone in the Linux community revived a BMS before or recharged from zero?

    There’s a trick I learned for drone lipo batteries where if you have low cell voltage, you can set your charger up to charge a different battery chemistry, I think NiMH but don’t quote me on that, charge it for a little bit and then switch it back to lipo mode. No idea if it would work here.

        Absolutely. I’ve only done it once or twice, just long enough to get the one low cell voltage high enough to switch back to lipo mode. Also, all the lipo charging I do is inside of a steel ammo can. My drone buddy teases me about it but I don’t care, big and/or lipo batteries are fucking scary.
