electric shock and fire

the product poses a risk of:

1. electric shock since:

- the mains cable is not fixed in the printed circuit independently from soldering,

- the live conductors may come into contact with low voltage parts or opposite pole,

- the socket applied at the output part of the battery charger is similar to the ones used at connections of other appliances, thus the plug under the seat can easily be connected to mains supply (230 v).

2. explosion and fire since:

- the batteries can be directly connected to the mains supply (230 v) through the plug placed under the seat and the battery unit;

- there are no diaphragms applied at soldering, therefore the conductors may cause defects in the regulatory circuit,

- the batteries cannot be fixed properly in the battery space, their cables may be damaged and they can detach from terminals which could cause a short circuit.

the product does not comply with the relevant european standard en 60335.

withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities.

amigo tvcrabo,

para que saiba, eu estou na linha da frente na defesa do veiculo electrico.
a intenção deste post é de informar os proprietários da vectrix que um determinado conjunto de veiculos tem problemas e talvez não fosse pior contactar o importador conforme solicita o site.

ps: os meus comandos de casa têm todos pilhas recarregaveis. como vê eu gosto de explosões!

obrigado pelo aviso, é a primeira vez que ouço falar em tal acontecimento e eu mantenho-me a par com os problema de centenas de utilizadores. até agora ninguém reportou quqlquer indicio de incêndio mas que poderá sempre acontecer em caso de curto circuito. existem no entanto fusiveis para acautelar essas coisas. penso que em questões eléctricas que envolvam baterias haverá sempre algum risco, tão grande penso, eu como o de acontecer a explosão de depósito da gasolina de um carro de combustão interna.
