I bought a Vetrix with faulty NiMH cells, charging with EVPS (Runke, gold) 2.1v. I replaced 5 bad cells and got the bike alive. Upgraded the firm ware with Dugas as they supprt EVPS. Everything was charging great but decided to stop charging before 145v by switching off at the wall. Went into the vx configuration software and lowed max charge voltage to 140v. Restarted the charge and everything great, once 140v reached, charger dropped back current and started to shutdown, then large BANG that threw main fuse in my home. Disassembled EVPS and on underside of main charge board 2 yellow components have exploded, internal fuse inside AC housing fine. Can you advise please?
I converted a previous Vectrix to Leaf Cells with an ESD and used Laird firmware and that worked fine before. Am going to do the same with this bike but thought it would be nice to get it running with NiMH until Leaf cells arrive.
