What it means
In the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Pro table, code 53 is cell imbalance: the battery management system finds the pack's cells are not at similar levels. Xiaomi puts it down to cell hardware failures from abnormal charging and discharging, high-load riding, ageing or poor storage. The only official fix is replacing the battery with one of the same model. A service diagnosis should confirm the imbalance before the swap; the code alone is not enough.
