Update: I replaced the power inductor with one that I reclaimed off of a dead BMS I had laying around, checked again for other visible issues with the caps and saw nothing obvious. I then put it back together and rode for about 7 miles, no issues. It was reading predictable percentages unlike before and coming down at an expected rate. I will continue riding and update again if it gets me stranded somewhere again.

(first time working on circuit boards, and boy was it tricky reclaiming that power inductor. Ended up getting it with a heat rework gun.)

Hello, I've been having some issues with my XR+. I've ruled out it being a battery problem with checking cell voltages and trying a new battery. It rides fine until at some seemingly random time it reports low battery and shuts off. Upon inspection of the BMS that I replaced last week to get it running I noticed this.

It looks like an inductor to me, but not actually sure. Does anyone know what part this is and if it could be causing this problem?
Thanks for you time!

Update: I'm pretty sure it's doomed. I'm not sure I can fix that. Let me know if you still think it's salvageable. Not really sure what would have caused it. This is what it looks like under the balance connector.
