Hello! 👋

I have a pint (one of the first basic models) and have had it for a few years now. We have gone through a few tires and put about 500 miles on the board. It has never given me issues until recently.

The board was probably unused for a solid 9 months if not longer (stored in our closet). I charged it up for probably an hour (app said the battery was at 80% which usually gets me to and fro no problem, so my boyfriend and I went on a little cruise (he has an XR).

Well on our way back I checked the app - at 71% then it started giving me the “I’m about to die” beeps. I checked my app it still said 71%, so I turned it on and off again. Same issue. Checked the app again this time it said it was dead. We ended up having to uber home.

Through lots of googling I’ve found it may be due to the battery cells being imbalanced and suggested I charged for 24-48 hours. However, when I plug it in I get a white light then three yellow lights then they turn off completely. I have tried different chargers and both do the same thing (I know the chargers work because they both work on my boyfriend’s board).

So what should I do? Obviously I’ll try charging overnight but I was curious is anyone else has ran into this issue?

Thanks in advance!
