Battery has been fully charged. It took 6 hours for the charging process to be completed for a fully depleted battery. I have since ridden and charged the battery 3 times, however, did not ride down to the battery's red light but to about 1/3 charge left. Range has improved since the first ride a week ago, from 50km actual to estimated 65km. Speeds range from 50km/h to 80km/h, mostly at 70km/h, (70%).
Received my 2008 Vectrix VX-1 last week, with 397 km. Tried unsuccessfully to display or to set the pre-charge delay. Followed the additional instruction booklet supplied with the Vectrix, (Reference NBTB0814, Rev. 1, 30Oct08). The batteries are depleted at this time, I wish to find out the delay setting and modify it to my needs if necessary.
