I use this version diag on my VX-1 with ECD charger for a while. Flahsing MC, charger, ICM works ok. Encoder and fase utility is nice. For correct encoder calibration write the calbration count /2 to the MC. Example. When it's 150, write 75 to MC.
This is great news, all the spare parts we need to keep them running.
I see they have spare NIMH cells (not available at the moment)
If i buy these a few when they have them, just to have some spare.
What is the best way to store them?
Fully charged, and leave them.
Or do i need to check them often to see if they don't go empty.

2009 Vectrix VX-1
I've ordered a new senter stand because my "new" bought VX-1 didn't have one. I ordered last tuesday and got it yesterday. I'm from germany so the way was not too long. I don't know how long it will take for a package to USA or other countries, but Piotr contacted me a few hours after my order to tell me how long it would take.
So at the moment i can recommend this shop.
Hi Arno, NiMH's storage program charges only to 50% SOC.
Once they cool down, they hold their charge for long periods of time (make sure that no electronic equipment drains energy from them).
I suggest you recharge them again to storage level (50%) every 6 months.
Ok, thank you!
2009 Vectrix VX-1
I don't know why my last post didn't apear after three days so i'll try again.
I just wanted to say that i ordered a new central stand for my Vx-1. It arrived after 6 days and was really a new part. I think the prices are fair and the contact with Piotr was very nice. He also gave me a few hints for analysis of "problems" i have with the scooter.
Doublepost...
