Rechargeable battery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

hi all well i have just been to the boot sale and bought a wind up radio £1 and its solar powerd aswell i have two others aswell much biger ons but .
this radio is much more powerfull i/e the man must of given it a good wind as he said it would last for one hour
yep you guessd it . its still on full power after 10 hours when is it gonna need charging up ????? well all the do is wind the radio up and shove it in the glove box with all the tinny gapes round the glove box you can hear the sterio while riding great shame the vectrix won't go for this long .and still working

hi all been trying to keep an eye on my batteries i/e
well after charge up with 30mins / or 1 hour delay set . come to scooter the nex day and with the red kill switch in the off position .
pull in the left break handel and noticed that the number 211 is shown in the middel under the clock i presume that its 211 volts thats topped out
and have noticed on two ocations that the temp has been 60c ?? a few weeks ago but when moving the kill switch it seems to go to aprox 9c to 15c...........

i have just been looking on the blogs about these scooters and there are three
.pictures one black and one red and on blue. its on one of the latest threds .you can blow these scooters up nise and big and when looking closley at the red one .
as the controler hanges /think its riveted left rear well if you look closley at the bottom of controler where all the wires come down from scooter but water could travel along the wire on the inside .and could travel.
inside the wire to the controler

i have been wondering when the scooter runs out of charge.
if i managed to fit a magnetic motor wi the most powerfull magnets in button size glued on in the boot just have too give it a push the wheel in the boot it would start to spin faster and faster .
wondering what sort of power it would produce .? wonder if its enough to charge the vectrix.????
and probbley have to fit small invertor 2kw would it work
but a tiny one and mabe have small motor as a slave start on it.
you see them on youtube .let me no what you think .kev

had vectrix back from dealer as had few issues needed sorting out. one being software upgrade that was meant to look after the batteries .i didnt now that they was going to change the time delay in the software from the standard 15 seconds .......... to 20 seconds this is totally ludicrous in my mind.
no to mention dangerous .if you was going to try this out you would no how dangerous it is .!!!
what is the point 20 seconds buy witch time a car /truck has pulled out in front of you smash...

well i have come up with an great idea and dont now why any body hasn't thought of it before?????????????????
well i did it on youtube just type in otleyshev68 well i got half way there well what uou need is a lot of small flexy solar panels about 50 + smallish
and scooter change origanil vectrix battries to lithiom ion cells but few spair back up as i did and need to cut sections in the scooter like shark gills and heat them up and angel them so to direct the
