Hi I have a complete step van if anyone is interested in buying. 3/4 battery packs charge up. And 1 only has 2 cells that won’t charge up. Make me an offer.
Where are you located?

There is also a Smith Newton Truck on Craigslist down in LA, no batteries. I'd love to drag it up to Eugene, but it isn't practical to haul at this moment.

I have the exact same problem on SBS3. Did you have any luck trying to figure it out? I notice you have both the battery and motor fault on the battery interface in the truck cab - I was getting the motor one for a little while but it stopped. After running the SCANNAR software I found a fault on the Vehicle Can Bus with an icon that says "RE" but I cannot figure out what that mean yet but I think it might mean "Rx Error".

Can anyone throw me a bone here?

Let me pose some simpler questions to narrow this down, if anyone is still around :)

Two things that have me stumped are that I've never seen charging indicated on battery tub #2, and that the two strings in #2 have been showing as very low SOC percentages this whole time, even though the pack voltages are quite high.

Has anyone ever seen "Charger 2" on this screen to be active? From what I've read, the truck has two chargers, but they are both contained inside the single charger box. I'm not sure if this app considers that to all be "Charger 1", or if there is indeed a Charger 2 and it is inactive for some reason. The circuit breaker box shows a green light for Charger 02 so I'm not sure what else the issue could be:

As shown below, the SOC levels on SBS3 and SBS4 are 5% and 20% respectively, yet the minimum/average cell voltages are plenty high because I jumped the packs. What dictates the SOC? Is the battery management system storing some colomb-counting values in memory, so that it becomes confused if I manually jump a pack? That's my best guess:

Did you ever get an answeron Charger-2, Big Chief? I not I can hook into mine and let you know what I find. In some previous posts by you when you had first run the software, you had the same fault "RE" icon lit as I do on the Vehicle Can Bus and you seemingly got rid of it by bringing your cells back up.

Did you use an engine hoist or actual forklift to get your pack out? Im wondering how that went if you used and engine hoist (cherry picker)?
