Hi, guys looking for some help here as I am a newb.
I got a Granite 3s with Spekrum 3s battery and smart charger. I bought them together assuming that the "smart" system will "talk" to each of the components. It appears that the charger talks to the battery just fine but the truck does not talk to the battery. I found out today that I have 2 low voltage faults on the battery now and yes, we did it run it all the way down twice as only the front wheels would turn with not forward or reverse.
I assumed that the ESC talked to the smart battery and would stop everything before a fault occurs. I guess I was wrong.
So how do I protect the battery? Is there a way that you can set it to stop driving before a fault occurs? How do you determine the battery status while driving it?
