When I bought my GEM it was dead, dead, dead so even if I got the smallest of charge to enable the dash to light up it still showed a single red solid bar.
Once I started getting the lithiums in there and doing some testing I figured I’d see the dashboard battery meter go up but it still shows one single, sad, red line even with fully charged batteries.
Where should I be looking to fix this one? A controller issue? Potentially a disconnected wire someplace for thi function?
I’ve checked individual cells and they are all exactly at 4.1 with no dead or low cells so I don’t think it’s that. What do the pros say?
hey diymatt,
i been doing what you said about reseting the SOC,.
but when i put it back in charge after loosing couple Green Bar its stay where i left but the charger shows the green light …
i must redo the action dayly !!
why is it doing that, my batterie are brand new and original GEM Deka gel maintenance free
yes they are getting charge and i do the daily 20 to 25 miles like i always did the display stop showing the statue of charge one day for no reason i do it manually like you said every day to keep a track and put the trip to 0 but its getting annoying i’m pretty sure its something in the setting ??
do you have any other option in the odometer i could change …
like batt or a other one than the SOC.
good morning I am having a similar problem had to replace charger because let friend use my 2005 el and when he went to charge plug into same place as the freeze in his garage opps there went the charger smoked anyhow i replaced it with quick charger works great but i show yellow cord on dash and wont go no were wont drive

hello Ben971,
I have the same problem on my 2011 gem elxd, the charger indicator lamp is on but in low contrast et nothing else on the screen
Did you find a solution ?
Hi @Teritary
You misunderstand the purpose of the Green wire.
With that wire disconnected it should display the little charge icon. When that wire is connected to the charger then it will show a dark screen.
Exactly opposite from what you would expect.
