If you have any questions, please contact your Zero dealer for proper usage or installation. 87-00069 Rev 01
Using The Charge Tank (cont’d)
2. Follow the instructions of the charge station you will be using until it signals
it is ready to charge and that the J1772 plug should be inserted into the
vehicle. If using the European version of the Charge Tank, you will connect the
supplied Mennekes to J1772 charge cable to the charge station first.
3. Once you are sure that the charge station is ready to begin charging, plug
in the J1772 connector of the charge station cable into the motorcycle, and
confirm that the motorcycle is charging normally as signaled by the green
blinking Charging Indicator on the dash.
4. Monitor the Remaining Charge Time Indicator on the dash for approximately
30 seconds. The remaining charge time will fluctuate as the Charge Tank
tests the input voltage and available current. Initially, it displays a time
indicative of only the motorcycle’s on-board charger. It will then switch briefly
to zero before displaying a new shorter time that reflects both the on-board
and charge tank working together.
5. When the remaining charge time settles and if no red System Warning
Indicator lights flash, then you can turn the key switch to the OFF position
and remove the key. If left uninterrupted, the motorcycle should continue
charging until the Charge Indicator indicates a 100% state of charge.
If you experience problems initiating charging with the Charge Tank, try the
following steps to clear any errors prior to repeating the above charge initiation
process:
1. Unplug the motorcycle from all chargers including the charge station.
2. Ensure that the motorcycle’s key switch is in the OFF position.
3. Wait approximately 30 seconds or until all lights go out on the motorcycle’s
dash. You may hear an audible click of the power pack’s contactor open
during this step.
Your Zero motorcycle may be disconnected from the charge station at any time
after the charging process is initiated. Stopping the charging process prior to
reaching a 100% state of charge does not damage the motorcycle or its batteries.
The motorcycle’s battery management system monitors and manages the health
of your power packs at all times. Of course, we always recommend keeping your
motorcycle fully charged.
