Power Pack and Charging
5.5
On-Board Power Pack Charger
Charge your motorcycle’s power pack according to
guidelines under
“When To Charge Your Z-Force® Power
Pack™”, on page 1.3 . You should only use the supplied
cable as it is designed for use with your motorcycle’s
electrical components.
CAUTION: Only charge the Zero power pack with the Zero
charger or approved Zero accessory chargers. The
on-board charger is located in the front under the fairings.
When charging the motorcycle’s power pack, the charger can
be left connected and ON, even after the power pack is fully
charged. But unplugging your motorcycle after it is charged will
maximize long term power pack health. If left connected, there
are several possible charge cases that can occur:

When connected to the charger, the power pack will receive
a full charge. Once fully charged, the charger will cycle
between 90% and 100% state of charge. When the state of
charge gets close to 90%, the charger will recharge to 100%
and repeat. When fully charged, a green light illuminates on
the dash.
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 disconnected from the charger, or the charger
reaches the complete state previously noted.

The Battery Management System countdown timer activates
long term storage mode. Long term storage mode is
triggered if the key switch has not been in the ON position
within the last 30 days. When activated, the Battery
Management System will discharge the power pack to 60%
state of charge. The power pack will then continue to
discharge approximately 1% per day. When the state of
charge reaches 30%, the charger will recharge to 60% and
repeat.
Note: To exit long term storage mode and be able to charge
the motorcycle to 100% state of charge, the key switch must
be turned to the ON position and back to OFF to reset the
Battery Management System countdown timer.
CAUTION: Leaving the motorcycle connected to the
charger is not recommended for long term storage as it
prevents the motorcycle from going into “hibernate” mode
and may also decrease the life of your power pack(s). See
“Parking and Long Term Storage”, on page 6.27 .
