Power Pack and Charging
5.4
Charging the Power Pack
WARNING! Always 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.
WARNING! Only charge the Zero power pack with the
Zero charger or approved Zero accessory chargers. Using
unapproved chargers or accessories may lead to cell
damage or battery failure.
The maximum power pack internal charging temperature is
122°F (50°C). If the power pack’s internal temperature is
over that, it will not accept a charge until it is cooled below
122°F (50°C). If the power pack has recently been rapidly
discharged from aggressive riding, it may internally be
above 122°F (50°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 122°F
(50°C). If the power pack has recently been operating near
maximum output and/or in hot conditions it may not take a
charge, the power pack should cool off 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.
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.
