Power Pack and Charging
5.2
On-Board Power Pack Charger
Keep your power pack connected to the charger when
your motorcycle is sitting in storage or if it will be sitting
unused for more than 90 days. The power pack must be
charged within 24 hours if fully discharged, and charged
within 90 days if stored fully charged. Zero recommends
you plug in your Zero motorcycle after 90 days, even if fully
charged. Please leave your Zero motorcycle plugged in
whenever possible.
CAUTION: Only charge the Zero power pack with the Zero
charger. The on-board charger is located under the power
pack.
When charging the motorcycle’s power pack, the charger
can be left ON, even after the power pack is fully charged.
There are two possible cases that can occur:
•
When connected to the charger, the power pack will
receive a full charge. Once fully charged, the charger
will check the status of the power pack once every 72
hours to ensure that it maintains a full charge. When
fully charged, a green light illuminates on the charger.
Should the charger not read that the power pack is full,
it continues to attempt to fully charge the power pack. In
this event the green light may not illuminate; however,
the power pack may be fully charged. To ensure that
the power pack is charged, check the charge indicator
on the dash display prior to riding.
•
If the power pack terminates the charge before the
charger reaches the state previously mentioned, then
the charger continues to cycle and tops off the power
pack until the power pack is removed from the charger,
or the charger reaches the complete state previously
noted.
The on-board charger status indicator is visible through the
front of the battery housing by removing a black rubber
plug (A). A circular lens with four LED’s displays the
current charge level.
