Vectrix NiMH Battery Pack Self Discharge after 4 weeks

Busy with another activity, I did not use my Vectrix in the last 4 weeks, and like it happened while I was on vacation, for the same duration, the Battery Pack shows a loss of 4 bars after 4 weeks, so it is like 1 bar per week

Also Voltage is showing 130V, and it is usually around 141-143 after a full charge, and the lower limit of 125V triggers the Red warning on the dashboard

So this time, I plugged it a full refill during the night 


Next morning, this is what I got: Fully charged and 139V

And 2kWh used to fill up ... I usually use 2.2kWh after a 5 to 6 bars use, so I was not very far from that

I then went for a good 25km ride and plugged it again to charge overnight
This morning, it shows 141V, so it is getting better I think

And exactly the same 2kWh consumption 

I will ride it like I did fro the last 3 years, having lunch with my former colleagues in Saint Ouen ...

Nissan LEAF - First time @ work : Taking my colleagues for a spin

The day after I got my LEAF, I had to take it to work to go get some solar panels at the airport fret zone (another set of 6 Uni-Solar PVL-68).
For once I drove to work instead of ride (Vectrix); I then got the opportunity of showing the long expected LEAF to my colleagues who all knew about it
They were so many that we had to organize several trips to the underground parking of the building where I was plugged in
They all loved it, asking many questions, taking a look under the hood, in the trunk, taking photos and one video:
