I believe Murata bought Sony's battery division in 2017.

The letter referred to is a form letter, and if you look at the date (10/25/18) you might realize that it was issued while negotiations were still going on for the possible sale, as they still are now. It states that those who might have a claim against the corporation have until April to file...

A little over 500.

Fresh? LOL.

With the change in the wheel rate on the MXR (new link), the damping is specifically designed for the Alta and not the same as any KTM.

I have an EX and the latest version of the firmware. There's not the same challenges with the battery pack with the A pack. There are a few safety and bug fixes that might help you as you continue to ride it. I had some charging issues with the older firmware that went away with the updates and...

Not the case. R pack is very different in other ways and came way before the code 36 issues.

That's a pretty early one. EXRs started with 099. Something unusual is going on. Was it a dealer demo? They might have stuck newer badges on it. To change to the R pack you need, battery, harness, ACM, controller, firmware. It's costly.

Certainly not on the inside. I don't know if the body is identical or not. I doubt it.

I don't know the specs, but the deciding factor is inrush current. The ACM detects inrush overcurrent and shuts off the circuit. Google inrush limiting there's a few different methods.

Yes.

I can't comment on the causes of the battery issues, mostly because that engineering group was very secure (for good reason, the technology was proprietary) and I don't know what went on. I do know that there were issues, Alta fixed them, and battery packs affected by the issue were replaced...

We changed that after that replacement. Hours and miles are now recorded in the ACM.

Sorry for the confusion. Each model (MX/EX/SM) started with #001. When the models changed to EXR/MXR, the VINs did not reset to 001. So there are three sets of VIN starting with 001. FYI, VIN starting characters: 56PARAA - SM 56PARAB - MX 56PARAC - EX 56PARAD - SMR (don't think any were...

Once again, please realize that 350v can kill you. Please leave battery disassembly to an experienced technician. And also realize that the repair for what causes code 36 is not going to be easily accomplished properly (i.e. a lasting repair) in most garages. If not properly done code 36 will...

No restarts for the last six digits. There are other digits that change in the VIN to indicate model year and specific model.

The 'A' packs did not have this issue, only some of the 'R' packs (MXR EXR)

Could possibly be. Since the display is part of the CAN bus, and the odometer/hours reading is stored in the ACM, in certain instances it will be necessary to plug into the diagnostic laptop to initialize the display. Adding a termination resistor probably won't work. I've never tried it, but I...

Pretty normal growing pains for any automotive manufacturing process. Alta replaced any battery that showed this issue, as they should have done . Recalls are safety related, and this issue did not require a recall. If Alta was still operating, it would have continued replacing any batteries...

The highest VIN I have listed with Code 36 is 426. This is a 2018 model. I'm pretty sure the 2019 MXRs were assembled after the production fix.
