Gen2/Charging
From Unofficial Zero Manual
< Gen2
The CCU (Meanwell-charger-equipped models only for 2013 and 2014FX) and BMS manage the onboard charger and the battery's contactor to prevent or cut off charging in a number of conditions.
- Operation
- The contactor makes an audible “click” sound when closing and opening.
- Don't twist the throttle after turning the bike on until you hear that click.
- The bike prevents itself from lurching forward if the contactor closes while the throttle is open, but you shouldn't rely on that or find yourself surprised.
- Similarly, do not start charging without a closed contactor.
- The onboard charger will enable charging mode by CAN bus communications, or keying the bike on can at least close the contactor for drive mode.
- Charging mode can be retained through charging port inputs at the signal pins, but they cannot initiate charging mode.
