General Operation
4.6
It is required that you leave the motorcycle on the charger
if you expect it to sit in storage or unused for over 30 days.
The power pack must be charged within 24 hours if fully
discharged, and charged within 90 days if stored fully
charged. Zero recommends you plug in your Zero
motorcycle after 90 days, even if fully charged. Please
leave your Zero motorcycle plugged in whenever possible.
The power pack should maintain up to 80% of its capacity
for approximately:
1,870 hours MX (ZF2.8) - Trail *
3,560hours MX (ZF5.7) - Trail *
1,500 hours MX (ZF2.8) - Track **
2,910 hours MX (ZF5.7) - Track **
85,000 miles (137,000 km) XU (ZF2.8)
170,000 miles (274,000 km) XU (ZF5.7)
* Track range represent the riding time that most riders can
expect to achieve while riding on tracks. The track rating is
a more aggressive pace when compared to trail riding.
** When the motorcycle is ridden with average
aggressiveness on average trails/tracks.
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!
Battery Management System (BMS)
Every power pack contains a Battery Management System
(BMS) which monitors the condition of the cells, and
optimizes the charging process to provide the highest-
performance, longest-range, and longest life for the power
pack.
The BMS safeguards the power pack by means of safety
interlocks. These interlocks turn off or control certain
operations that could damage the power pack. See “
Safety
Interlocks”, on page 6-10 for more information.
The BMS also monitors the power pack for a host of
predefined conditions, and then takes actions according to
those conditions. See “Battery Management System”, on
page 6-2 and “Cold and Hot Weather Considerations”, on
page 6-8 for further information.
Remember, the BMS is sealed inside the power pack. As a
rider, you do not need to think much about the BMS - it just
silently does its job as you charge, ride, and store your
motorcycle.
