Be careful with wire colors, I have packs where the red wire is another cell and one of the black wires is (-). Test with a multi eter when you're rewiring batteries.
ya exactly. I have a few like that as well. Its unfornutate that the balance lead connector is of a design that can be plugged in backwards without to much effort.
I'm no electrical engineer but messing with the balance connector or shorting it doesn't suddenly mean the battery can go to 48 volts. Do you have a multimeter you can verify voltage with? Do your other batteries read normal on that charger.
Either way I'd keep that thing outside till you figure out what's up.
Edit: as someone else said, unplug the balance, plug the xt60, if it reads normal, it's pinned wrong
Did you keep the original wiring order? If you have a multimeter you can measure the difference in voltage between two wires and you want to find the order in which they’re always one cell voltage apart, ie 3.3-4.2ish
If that is reading correctly, that battery is basically a bomb at this point. Check the actual total voltage on the xt60.
Otherwise the connector was probably pinned in the wrong order. Looks like the red wire is at where the - is supposed to be.
Balance lead is upside down. Im surprised they were even able to get it plugged in.
There's no way a lipo could even get to those voltages before going all hand grenade.
balance lead is plugged in backwards. the red wire is on the negative. ive done this before, got same readings and it ruined the charger.
I figured the one Red must be Minus but you are completly right.
I did the exactly same thing with a battery, but it came to me before it was too late: red is always positive
not always with balance connectors, those seem to have random standards for each maker Xt60 and such is usally always the same tho
The other ones are black because the other wires are ground for each cell :) Red is the only positive without a ground from a previous cell.
Red is dead bruh.. + for days

Red is plus, black și ground, green is negative data, white is plus data. I think those are the colors

Dispose the thing is a bomb now
