Power Pack and Charging
5.4
To charge using the standard on-board charging
equipment:
1. Plug the supplied power cord (A) into the on-board
charger connector. Always keep the power cord with
the motorcycle.
2. Always connect the charger to a GROUNDED outlet.
When using an extension cord, avoid excessive voltage
drops by using a grounded, 3-wire, 12-AWG cord no
longer than 25 ft (7.6 m). The charger can be used on
120 V AC or 240 V AC current. The voltage does not
change the amount of time that the motorcycle takes to
charge.
Note: AVOID connecting the Zero charger and another
device to a single 120 V AC 15A/20A circuit, as it may
become overloaded. Zero chargers draw as much as
12 amps from the 120 V AC circuit when charging.
3. The charging icon (A) flashes as the battery is being
charged. Once charging is complete, the icon stays
illuminated.
4. For charging times, refer to the Technical Specifications
section for charging times specific to the model and
equipment level of your Zero motorcycle. See
“Technical Specifications”, on page 8-1
Note: The charging icon is solid green when fully charged
and plugged into the charger.
