Charging the Power Pack
CAUTION:
Charge the Zero power pack with the Zero
charger.
It is possible for lithium ion cells to overheat and fail.
Note: Charge the Zero Power pack in a location that is
well-ventilated and away from combustible materials. If
charging your Zero Motorcycle outdoors, avoid charging in
the rain.
The maximum power pack internal charging temperature is
131°F (55°C). If the power pack’s internal temperature is
over 131°F (55°C), it will not accept a charge until it is
moved to a cooler location. Also, if the power pack has just
been run hard, it may internally be above 131°F (55°C)
even if the ambient temperature is lower.
If you experience a power pack that will not take a charge,
you should ensure the internal temperature is below 131°F
(55°C). If the power pack was recently run and it will not
take a charge, the power pack should cool and begin
taking a charge in around 30 minutes or less.
The maximum charging temperature cutoff is a power pack
longevity feature. Charging at higher temperatures can
shorten the life of the power pack.
Note: Frequent top off charging is good for the power
pack’s life span, so do not hesitate to charge frequently.
To charge using the standard charger:
1. Ensure that the key switch is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the supplied power cord into the onboard charger
connector (see inset). Always keep the power cord with
the motorcycle.
3. 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.
