STM5-100 Failures











The centre and rear battery packs suffer the most from cell failures, possibly due to lower coolant flow.

5 of the 11 centre pack batteries had already failed when I bought the Partner Electric.
I cut open a failed cell and sure enough the separator had melted forming a nice conductive carbon layer to completely burn up the adjcent plates separator and even the plastic battery case.
