;Charger Power Cord
<onlyinclude>
: The charging cord is a 10-ft 14AWG cord with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#NEMA_5 NEMA 5-15P] (US) to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320#C13.2FC14_coupler IEC320 C13] output plug rated for 15A.
: Zero specifies that any extension cord be at least the above specification, and 15A continuous rating is important to look for.
; Demand
* The S-Platform onboard charger draws 11-12A at 120V AC (and half the amps at ~220V).
* The X-Platform onboard charger draws 7A at 120V AC (and half the amps at ~220V).
;Tips
* When in doubt, prefer a thicker gauge cord, a shorter length, and a sturdier plug.
* Do not let a charge cord sit coiled up, particularly in a container; make sure that any heat produced is not confined near the cord for any reason.
* Plugging into a 220V outlet will reduce the current to the onboard charger by half, so is one way to drastically minimize risk to any cords.
