Parking and Long Term Storage

It is recommended to always leave the power pack
plugged in. The Zero S/DS charger is designed to
maintain a balanced and complete charge at all times
without wasting any electricity.

Over extended periods of time the power pack is
checked every 72 hours to ensure that the cells are
balanced and that the power pack is full.

To prolong the life of your power pack you should store
your motorcycle in a cool area. Storing your motorcycle
in a hot area will cause your power pack’s life to be
shortened.

If, for some reason, your motorcycle was not plugged in
for several days, you should always charge it up before
riding.
For more information on the power pack and the electrical
system see
page 4.13 .
WARNING! Opening of the power pack is for trained Zero
Motorcycles technicians. Please be aware that incorrect
handling of a Zero power pack can be dangerous. DO
NOT OPEN!
Zero Motorcycles Accessories
Zero motorcycle accessories are designed to complement
and function with other systems on your motorcycle. Your
dealer can accessorize the motorcycle using genuine Zero
accessories.
A full line of parts, accessories, and apparel can be found
on the Zero Motorcycles website.
Fuses
Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing
through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an
open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one-time protection
device and must be replaced each time the circuit is
overloaded. Replace the fuse with one of equal current
and voltage rating. If the fuse melts repeatedly, have the
electrical system inspected by your dealer.
