This seems to be pretty common way to break your battery. That is by shorting out the terminals on the battery
In my case charger magnetic plug picked up a staple off the garage floor and when I plugged in the charge the staple crossed the pins on the batttery.
Others have accidentally placed the key into the socket.
The battery is a 2021 model.
Apparently it has some fuses, that I circle in the photo. The large one is a fuse, the smaller one is a guess. Are there more?
Both have continuity, so they did not blow.
The actual batteries are fine and test at 36 volts.
So the board is "fried", until I can identify the blow electrical component(s).
It should not be this easy to kill a $1000 battery. There should be better circuitry to to deal with a short like this, or maybe not have pins sticking out of the battery.
If anyone has any suggestions on what else to check/try it would be greatly appreciated.
