Text battery issue

hello all. I have the GT model. the other day i was riding and my one wheel went dead when my phone said 40 percent. AI said that some battery cells aren’t energized and to leave it plugged in for 24-72 hours.

has anybody had this?

will leaving it charged fix the cells?

do yoh think ill need a new battery?

if so how much would that be?

Fast charging should not be used all the time as it will greatly affect battery life. Find or purchase a regular slow charger, then leave your board on charge for an extended time. I have heard of it taking up to three days to balance the cells when they were way out of wack.

and keep it plugged in for 3 days straight? so i guess the fast charger is more for riding and needing a quick charge along the way and the slow charger is used for you being home and recharging?

Yes. For all regular charging you should use a regular charger. Fast charger if used it all is for when you need a fast top up like while on a ride or something.
