Diagnosing ESD no charger response condition

R Sinclair 6 years ago updated by piotrstec (Managing Director) 6 years ago 1

Hello folks,


I just bought a 2007 Vectrix VX-1 (awesome scooter) It came from the original owner who stopped using it a couple years prior. It was charged periodically, then the charger failed after the batteries went totally dead.


When connecting the charger power cable, nothing happens, no fans, relays, displays, nothing at all. Bike is all original and does not appear to have been modified or SW tweaked. Unfortunately, I don't have a CANBUS cable to run diagnostics....


Here's the particulars and what I've done so far:

NiMh battery was totally dead (3v) pulled, disassembled and manually recharged, installed.

Display comes on and shows 140V and 2 bars

Motor and controller are fine, bike operates perfectly on center stand.

Temperature sensors and voltage monitors connected.

Plan to upgrade to replace the current NiMH with Leaf batteries. .


Now for the charger:


Silver ESD series with square connectors. two external fans Part# P001304

Firmware version on label: SW V4.20 HW: P1.43
AC power is reaching the charger (hear a slight inrush arc when plugging in cable to wall (120V)

Verified all connections are clean and tight, no physical damage

Opened charger, found no evidence of fried components, smoke or other damage

Both internal charger fuses tested good.

Tried a variety of reset procedures (disconnecting/reconnecting cables, power, etc)

I have *not* yet verified if DC power from the controller is present at the charger (forgot to check)

That said, is the charger likely dead or could it be something else such as the controller charger fuse, a firmware issue, etc. Anything I may overlooked?


If the charger is indeed dead, what is the most reliable and flexible replacement? Would you go back to the ESD, the Runke or a PFC charger? or just use an external charger?


Sort of related, if the charger is physically removed, will the controller and instruments function or is this controlled via the charger itself?


Thank you very much in advance.....

Which VX-1 to use for a Battery-Conversion

Zyla 6 years ago updated by piotrstec (Managing Director) 6 years ago 3

Hi,

i have got two Vectrixes VX-1.


One older Version from 2009 with Nimh-Batteries and the old silver Charger.

The other one is a 2011 Li+ Vectrix with the golden Charger.


Now i got 20 Nissan Leaf Battery-Cells and my Question is:

Which Vectrix does more sense to convert ?
Both have weak Batteries - so only one will "survive".


I think to buy me a new 3kW-Charger from here, and i want to know what do i need to convert one of my Vectrixes to a new life.

Answer

Hi Zyla

Yes, you can use 20 modules (40S) with our BMS - but you need to order custom harness - http://shop.vectrixparts.com/custom-batterey-to-bms-harness.html


and contact our R&D - mateuszdysko@vectrixeurope.eu or matteozordan@vectrixparts.com to discuss the firmware set

BMS temperature sensors 1k or 10k

Tido 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 2

I have purchased the Vectrix Universal BMS a few weeks ago. Now I wanted to connect a couple of temperature sensors and found a description here, which says that the temperature sensors should be 1k NTC. But this one says that 10k NTC sensors are needed (TS 1..4).


Which description is correct?


Best regards,

Tido
