Vectrix Scooter Scene

Is this forum still alive?  Very little activity, hence the question.

I bought a vectrix li+ with a dead battery, conversion ongoing and in need of advice 

Hello, I have the same request  I just buy a 2008 Vectrix Li+ with a battery with problem.

Those gp lifepo4 cells have a habit of dying 

Not sure if the cells are that bad or the bms is killing them, the bms that was on my original li+ pack did give very strange readings in the diag-app.

Ran the bike a while without bms, did check the cells with a multimeter regularly, worked fine but now made the ‘mistake’ to upgrade the firmware of the charger, bike won’t charge due to absence of bms.

If anyone has the firmware 8010-42 of the runke charger, more than welcome.

Anyone tried the ‘dugas’ files?

Worth a try?
