Rad Mission keeps shutting down and battery will not charge.

If the battery is low, I believe calling for power will cause the battery to shut down temporarily. Charging the battery may fix it.

Cheap fuses can fail from fatigue. The bottom of my Radmission battery has markings for the 40 A output fuse and the 5 A charging fuse.

Have you done any work to the bike?  upgraded it or changed settings to the controller?
I had this problem with a Rover 5.  It was my battery sending too much current through
the wiring.  Remove your battery and look at he connections.  Mine had some melting issues
from overheating.  I replaced the fittings on the battery and the cradle.  Works fine now.

What are the temperatures like?
Quote from: RadExpand 5 manualThe temperatures listed below represent ambient temperatures. Internal battery temperatures are likely to be higher than ambient temperature during charging and use. The battery will automatically turn off to prevent damage when its internal temperature reaches below -15?C (5?F) or above 55?C (131?F). Please see the preceding sections for more information.
   Recommended operation (riding) range: -15?C to 40?C (5?F to 105?F)
   Recommended charging range: 5?C to 25?C (41?F to 77?F)
   Recommended short-term storage range: -10?C to 25?C (14?F to 77?F)
   Recommended long-term storage range: 5?C to 25?C (40?F to 77?F)
