Power Pack
The battery is located within the power pack and requires
no special break in period.
The Zero FX power pack leverages proven battery cell
chemistry, configuration, and enhanced reliability. Not only
does the Z-Force® technology enable you to go longer
distances (range may vary depending on riding type and
conditions), it is also designed to last the life of the
motorcycle. The integrated onboard charger minimizes
charge time and can work in parallel with Zero’s quick
charge accessories to cut charge times by as much as
70%.
The battery requires no special break-in period. The
charging time is the same if connected to 110 V AC or
220 V AC.
The charger output will be the same. Out of the normal
temperature range charging and run-time times will vary.
The power pack should not be used outside of the range of
23°F to 140°F (-5°C to 60°C); the Battery Management
System (BMS) turns off the power controller outside of this
range.
Note: The Battery will not charge if below 0 ° C or 32 ° F.
Plug your motorcycle into an AC power source to recharge
it after each use. Once recharged, disconnect from the AC
power source. Leaving your motorcycle unplugged
between charges will maximize the long-term health of the
power pack.
While unplugged with the key in the OFF position, the
motorcycle’s electronics will consume a very small amount
of power and the power pack will drain extremely slowly. If
you don’t ride for an extended period of time (30 days or
more), you may want to plug the motorcycle into an AC
power source to charge it for a few hours prior to your next
ride.
The power pack must be charged within 24 hours if fully
discharged. If stored long-term, check the state of charge
at least monthly and charge it back up to 60% if it has
dropped below 30%. See
“Parking and Long Term
Storage”, on page 5.25 for more information.
