Which VX-1 to use for a Battery-Conversion

Zyla 8 years ago updated by piotrstec (Managing Director) 8 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

I put a new firmware on my Vectrix VX-1, cause I have the temperature light flashing and then unable to charge the batteries, but I have put new firmware on batterie charger and motor controller and ICM, I'm able to bring back the original version 3001 to the charger but unable to bring back the REV7-68 on motor controller and REV 1008 on my ICM. Can you help me to solve that probleme, and resolve the light temperature probleme.

BMS temperature sensors 1k or 10k

Tido 8 years ago updated 8 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

bms problem?

jakito111 8 years ago updated by Mateusz Dysko (Service Engineer) 8 years ago 8

Hi, first of all, I apologize for my English Google translator.
I have two motorcycles vectrix x1 li +,
I have put together the best modules of the two motorcycles to make a pack in better condition.
This is all properly mounted, but I receive false readings from the BMS, the actual voltage of the cells obscilates between 3,302 and 3,3804 volts. (reading obtained with a quality digital multimeter)
However, in the panel of the motorcycle I get the following voltages:

low 279
high 365

high cell failure and low cell failure

yellow spanner and battery symbol in red,
the bike works well, with a little limited speed.

We have reviewed everything and tested the bms of the other bike and do strange things like low cell 000 and high 368.
the bms are placed in the original order negative pole bms 0 after 1 after 2 and the positive pole reaches the bms 3.
it's really strange,

Why message "EC 071" after charging ?

FantaisyRat 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

This makes 2 charges that they end with the message "EC 071" and not the usual "EC 049".

The first charge ended with the highest cell at only 4.11V (4.15V in normal time, Li-Ion battery).
The second charge ended with the highest cell at only 4.14V (4.15V in normal time).
My daily trips are about 70 km (43,496 miles).

Sorry for my english but i'm french and i use google translate ;)

What does this code "EC 071" mean?

Tesla Conversion

tt-tronix 9 years ago updated by Tido 8 years ago 6

Hello,


I am currently preparing to convert my 2009 NiMH VX-1 to Lithium with 3 Tesla Model S battery packs. My problem is, that the charger (EVPS / Runke Gold) died :-(


If the attempts repairing the charger fail, which charger should I purchase? EVPS or ESD? The goal is to implement the BMS from this shop.....


I have the Peak-CAN Adapter, so programming is no problem.


Best regards,

Tido
