My Vectrix died on me on the way home last night. Lost all motor power and then about 15 seconds later all the electronics went dead (real fun time in the middle of the dark). Tried key on/off, but it's not coming back to life. I'm thinking it's the high voltage fuse, but does anyone else have thoughts?
If it is the fuse, can someone suggest a source for the 200A version?
Thanks!
The one you need is a protistor 200 amps FWX-200.
You can find some easily on the net. But take care, it's a rather tricky job to change it.

Probably the fuse.

Well, add me to the list of people who's 125A fuse blew. I took everything apart over the weekend and tested the fuse's continuity. I have one on order from Ebay and will replace it once it arrives.
In the mean time, while I have the battery pack out, anyone have any suggestions on steps to take to balance the individual cells?
just before putting the battery pack in, charge the whole battery at 0.3A or less for a couple of days
I have used power supplies intended to drive LED's successfully (meanwell).
