Battery charging temperature

Has anyone ever had this problem with their Vectrix?

I haven't used it in a few days and went to charge it a short while ago in case I need it tomorrow (weather dependent) and the battery temperature that is displayed when charging says 60oC as soon as I connected it to the mains when in fact it was about 1oC. I only know this as I used my car to get some fuel and checked the on board temperature indicator. Major problem or minor bug due to the cold weather?

I snapped a pic with my camera phone to check I wasn't seeing things!

I would give them a call... my sensors always read fairly accurate - currently 1c outside and charging temp was around 12-13c.

Re: Battery charging temperature

I checked the temp of the batteries a few days ago and they also read 60DegC, the bike had not been used or charged for a few days so put it down to a bug.

There must have been a bug in the software. It was fine the next day and hasn't happened since.

Re: Battery charging temperature

Looks like a bad sensor to me. I think that I have one also with bad readings. Usually my temperature after charging was 26ºC. From one day to other it becomes 36ºC and it takes almost 48 hours to reach near the outside temperature. Usually it would take about 3 or 4 hours.
