Hello,
2 years and 7 months ago I bought a ETX680C battery. Each 6 months I used a optimate lithium charger to keep it top up but never test it. It is brand new on the box as it come.
Yesterday went to test it to connect some avionics and it is dead. 1.20V voltage and the FAULT line is on which according to the manual it means:
"BMS electronics problem"
I contacted customer support and the final answer was:
"I’m sorry, there is no way to force a charge into it as this would not be safe, do not attempt to do this.
The battery is 2 years 7 months old and it has drained to the point of no recovery."
Which I don´t understand why and what should I have done different! This battery is from the factory which was just top up and not used. I am not working now and spend my time working on my project which is my dream. So I am very disappoint that I spent a lot of money for a brick.
My question here is, anyone knows a way I can recovery this battery?
If not there is another brand someone suggests? I am not in a financial situation to keep buying bricks.
very disappointed about the situation,
Filipe
