Good afternoon Dan, First exchange that board with any other one and see if the problem follows the board. Al

A few days ago one of the cells showed a faulty -30C temperature (all other cells showed around 25C, it was a nice day here in Pennsylvania). The voltage reading and communication on the board seems fine, but that temperature reading sets a warning and slowly shuts the car down. Annoying. I've gone through Lithiumate support, and basically they want me to buy a new board for $33 bucks ($26 + $7 shipping, which is cheaper than the original price, but still). So far, they don't feel it should be covered by warranty. First, has anyone else had this problem? Is it possible that I do have some kind of communication error or connection problem? (I wouldn't think so since I'm getting a believable voltage reading and communication verification, but I don't know all the ins and outs.) Second, I know I would be losing that function, does anyone know if I can simply "turn off" the temperature control aspect of the Lite BMS? Having the information, and a warning, is fine/good. But, I'm not very fond of a temperature reading controlling whether or not my car will go.
