Indications of charging activity:

;External
: The [[#Instrument_Cluster|dash]] charging light will '''flash''' while charging.
: The [[#Instrument_Cluster|dash]] charging light will be '''solid''' once fully charged.
: The BMS front indicator window shows 4 LEDs.
:: The number of LEDs lit indicates the SOC level in quarters.

;Voltage (verifiable with the mobile app)
: Battery voltage will rise with its state of charge while charging from below 20% and then stays relatively constant (easing from 100V to 104V) from 20% to 80% where it starts rising again.
: A Zero battery will have a full charge when it has 116V while at rest.
: During a charging session, the voltage will dynamically increase by as much as 1V so expect 117V at the end of a full charge until charging stops.

Indications for the Zero battery state of charge while charging may have a significant inaccuracy at high charge rates.
: Typically, indicated SoC will lag (lower than) actual SoC towards the upper end of the range (80% - 100%).
: Turning the motorcycle off and letting the contactor open and waiting for several seconds should restore charge accuracy.
:: The BMS historically would thereby reset its method of SoC estimation to a static voltage-based method.

The battery will charge most efficiently between roughly 20% and 80% state of charge, with voltage high enough that current limits allow more power input.
: At higher voltages, chargers taper out of concern to maintain battery condition.
