Some users have encountered a problem with the battery indicator blinking red four times and then stopping.
This may prevent the scooter from turning on or charging properly. What does this mean and how can you fix it?
Why Xiaomi M365 Blinking Red Light 4 Times?
It seems that your Xiaomi M365 battery blinking red 4 times may indicate a problem with the battery voltage or the charger. One possible solution is to change the charger and try to charge the battery.
Another possible solution is to test the voltages between the 10 power packs and load-balance them.
The red blinking light on the battery is probably due to major differences between the voltages that need to be in sync.
You can also try to reset the battery by pressing the button on the sleeve.
How To Troubleshoot Xiaomi M365 Blinking Red Light?
If you suspect that the charger is the problem, you can try to change the charger and see if that solves the issue.
Make sure to use a charger that is compatible with the Xiaomi M365 and has the correct output voltage and current.
You can also check if the charger is working properly by testing it with a multimeter or another device.
If you suspect that the battery voltage is the problem, you can try to test and balance the battery packs.
To do this, you will need to open the battery case and measure the voltages between the 10 power packs using a multimeter.
If you find that some packs have significantly lower or higher voltages than others, you will need to balance them by charging or discharging them individually until they are in sync.
You can use a 18650 charger or a modified charger to do this.
