Generally speaking, there is a lot to like about the Vectrix Vx-1 (when it is running), but also a few fatal problems, painstakingly documented on the ‘V is for Voltage’ Vectrix forum.
Concerning the Vectrix NiMH batteries specifically, I think it was mostly that there were 105 prismatic NiMH cells without any real battery management, with questionable factory charge/discharge parameters, and questionable cell quality. These oversights resulted in overheated (swollen) and damaged cells within the pack. Combine that with a company that was mostly in a state of bankruptcy, and you have the Vectrix experience. Fortunately, I did not buy my scooters new, so my experience has been frustrating, but not too expensive. -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
