NIU KQi 300X charger LED not lighting up, even when disconnected from scooter.
This scooter was bought only a few weeks after release date. Noticed today when I plugged it in the app was showing it as not charging, and going down over time. So I bound and then unbound it. Checked for firmware update, and so on. Nothing.
Diff outlets, checked the connections for obstructions. The scooter has 400 km on it and well taken care of. Kept inside my apartment and never ridden in rain or any extreme heat or cold. I thought maybe the charger LED was dead and the charger may have been fine.
So obviously the next step was plugging it in without being plugged into the scooter. No LED, no red, no green. Nothing. So I am assuming the charger itself is dead. I'll do a volt check later when I dig my meter out. Just hoping it isn't the charger since they are pricey and it's in mint condition.
Any ideas I can try in the meantime? Oddly the scooter shows 4 full bars in the app, and still at 81 percent down from 83 since I first plugged it in. So I can get a decent ride out of it still while I wait for a new charger.
Or can these be reset somehow? LIke by leaving them plugged in for a certain amount of time if they have been idle for a while? We had a long cold winter and I only charged my scooter twice. Didn't drive it tho, not in winter(Atlantic Canada).
