Got a free QuiQ from zero when they lowered prices last year. When I plug it in it flashes 9 times on the 80% (charge algorithm), then goes into fault mode two flashes which indicates low battery voltage. I have "reset" unplugged it several times with the same result. Doesn't matter whether it is hooked to a battery or not. Am I doing something wrong or what?! Is the charger bad? No wonder they were giving them away for free! WTF! This out of bike FX /FXS in the nice warm house with the power pack module charging adapter.

Totally normal

Well thats what ive been told

I'm gonna leave it plugged in for a bit and see what happens?

Make sure you are using the onboard charger first plugged into it's own outlet.  Once it begins charging, plug in the Delta Q's brown Anderson connector and then plug in the Delta Q's power cord to a different outlet on a different circuit, or the same circuit, but only if it's a 20 amp circuit.  If it's not, you will simply blow the breaker and when you go to reset it, you will see it says 15A on it.

See if it charges the bike to full that way.  if so, the delta Q communication pins are losing the enable signal from the BMS and the bikes contactor is turning off and so the charger is faulting because there is no load to charge.  The onboard charger will ensure the battery contactor stays closed regardless of what the Delta Q does.

Its ok to plug in the Quiq charger first, but the onboard charger must be plugged in and operating before the Quiq charge starts to charge. This is a good thing as my onboard charger is on a timmer, so when it starts so does my Quiq charger (no need for 2 timers).

So how can I charge out of bike then? It's way too cold here that's why I brought batteries in house. I had to order the adaptor which took about a week. One set of batteries was at 100% for sure as of 1 week ago but they don't behave any different when attached to QuiQ?

Ahhh ok I know exactly what you are doing.  Does the charger act the same when charging both modules?

When you put them back in the bike does the bike read 100%?

If not put one battery in at a time and see what the battery percent is.  Are both modules the same?

We can solve this.  Just need some data.

Try to bring the FX in the house one night and charge the batteries in the bike, with the Delta Q also to see if it faults when in use with the bikes onboard.  I understand getting the motorcycle in the house might be hard.  Maybe take the batteries out first, then get a neighbor to help you carry it in the door.  It should be pretty light by then.

Look forward to your results from this
