Hi fellow Vector users. I'm thinking that using a torque wrench, when tightening the battery cover door might be a good option for those of us who are a little heavy handed. I've searched but I can't find any mention of a torque setting for this. Has anyone else seen any information of this kind ?

The factory torque spec is 2 N-m. The problem with using a wrench on a torque setting that low, even on a quality click-type 1-14 N-m wrench like many of us have, is that it's easy to 'go a little more' after the click, because the wrench handle gives so much leverage. It's better to use a regular 4 mm Allen key. The thread length allows for about one and three-quarters of a turn of the door after the door thread engages the pedal thread.
I used a torque wrench set to 2nm and ended up partially stripping the internal threads of the right pedal.
I then used a digital torque wrench and tried on the left pedal and almost ended up stripping the threads... Backed off completely and it saved my pedal from irriversable damage.
Garmin, Ur recommendation can't be accurate. I used 2 torque wrenches !
The battery caps hold firm still but surely the 2nm advice is wrong? What was supposed to be a best practice guidance ended up causing damage.
