[[wikipedia:Potting (electronics)|Potting (in electronics)]] means filling in an electronic assembly with a gel or solid to resist damage from shock and vibration, and minimize or prevent corrosion from weathering.
* Zero uses a rubbery potting in the [[MBB]], [[DC-DC 12V Converter|DC-DC converter]], [[Gen2/Calex Charger|onboard charger]], and other onboard enclosed circuit boards.
*: These boards are non-repairable as a result and the component is often troubleshot and replaced as a "black box", but the ingress and vibration protection are good.
* Zero's [[BMS]] has a clear potting with grease applied on the board.
*: The BMS relies on the battery casing plate itself for ingress protection, and on rubbery bushings on the mounting for vibration protection.
*: The BMS can also be inspected and changed more easily than other boards.
