I bought a lithium battery from Lithium Gods in Jan ‘25. I live in Scottsdale AZ in winter. Installed in 2013 gem e2. Also have a MM. great top end (35mph) and range. In May ‘25, I was instructed to just run the battery down to 50% and shut it off for the summer. Came back in Nov ‘25 and the battery turned right on. Did the same in ‘26 but when I returned now, it won’t turn on or charge. Any help to wake it up??? Thanks
Describe/clarify how your powered down the car for storage.
Can you connect to the battery via app?
Can you view the BMS on this install? (specifically the end where the little red balance wires plugged in). Look for a red LED.
Does this battery have a little silver button?
(post some pics of the BMS and related wiring)
Thank you for responding. I found that a mouse had chewed the wires right at the switch. Ordered new switch and will replace. We’ll see what happens.

Hmmm… Hopefully the little varmint did not chew wires that weren’t meant to be crossed. That might piss off the circuits. Simply removing the start button would not shut down the BMS.
If your new button takes longer to get there than your need for the car, we might try manually booting the system.
You will need a 9v battery and a small length of wire.
