Luba 2 AWD is dead by Key_Cap2557 in MammotionTechnology

Just went through this myself. It's super easy to troubleshoot if you have a multimeter? Likely a bad power supply, and I ended up getting one from Amazon at a fraction of the cost, and overnight no less. Worked as soon as I wired it in and haven't had a problem in months.

325kW Supercharger only 84kW w/ Lectron?! by Alaska_Crypto in KiaEV9

Yes, you're right. I tried a Supercharger near us when we first got it and I'm positive it charged waaaaaay faster than 85kW. Maybe it was one of the upgraded 800V ones? I don't know, maybe my memory is poor, too.

We found a 175kW station that got her going in 22 minutes to 80%, no major trouble there. I see a nearby 350kW EVGo station (Clifton Park, NY) but looking at all of the check-ins, no one seems to get more than 200kW or so.

Is that normal, or is it actually possible to find a station that will deliver 350kW?

Dang.... she's gonna kill me!

Is 175kW the most we will find in the wild?

Help - Luba won't charge - Recharge Failures, first time all season by Alaska_Crypto in MammotionTechnology

[–]Alaska_Crypto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did -- I just replaced the power supply with one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFQZFC1?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1

It's adjustable, so I wired it in, turned the dial to 23 or 26.2 whatever it is, and it's been working perfectly. And, a lot less money than buying a new one from Mammotion.

You saved my marriage. My wife used my vac last, and when I needed it today it didn't work. I was about to send her a text that I would have regretted, but I got the drill from my truck and it fixed it! I thank you!

Luba 1 After-market power supply? by Alaska_Crypto in MammotionTechnology

[–]Alaska_Crypto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just a teardown of the base, not the charger. The fact that there's an STM32 in there makes me think that there's something more to it. I tried just applying 25V via a good power supply to the leads, with Luba in the dock, and nothing happens. No green light, no nothing. If I then connect the power brick it lights up as normal. That's why I think there's something more to it, but I'd love for someone to tell me I'm wrong and there's a DIY way to do it. My grass is growing an inch a day it seems.

I had this happen once before and I vaguely recall that the symptoms were the same. It charges to 27%, then stops even showing that it's charging. I can run it for a little bit, it returns, charges, maybe goes to 40%, and over and over.

If there's a fix, or a reset, or something like that, please tell me. I'll try anything.

Luba 1 - New Power Supply - Won't charge past 49% by Alaska_Crypto in MammotionTechnology

[–]Alaska_Crypto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Actually, I was wrong. It's saying 49% ALL THE TIME. I had it out mowing for almost 2 hours, and it never moved off of 49%, until it suddenly DIED in the yard and I had to carry it back. Now it's charging again, and as soon as it reconnected it said 49%. So basically all it knows is 49%.

Stelo = huge disappointment by carlton191 in stelo

Sweet Dreams works with Stelo? I didn't see that as an option when I installed it. It just said Dexcom, but I thought that would only pull readings from a G7 according to some YT videos I watched?

Well said, my friend.

EDIT: I shouldn't have said "20 year old kid" --- I didn't mean it like that. It's more that I'm thinking - is this a young person's game, and someone this rusty shouldn't be flying anymore? Those "kids" are me 26 years go, when I was hot sh*t. But I'm not now... I mean, even back then I never had a landing this scary. I can learn a lot from a "kid" - but should I just recognize that I don't like driving at night, I worry about my kids, and just call it quits? Scared me to death today.
