Power Limiter on Zero FXS Question
« on: October 31, 2017, 11:28:24 PM »

I noticed that on my FXS the power is reduced when the battery is below a certain charge.  Is this normal and if so can someone explain what the parameters are?  Do all of the Zero models operate this way?  Is there any way to override the power limitation.

PS - Moderators feel free to move this thread.  Probably should be in Zero 2013+ forum.

When limitation applies, it is recorded inside the log that your bike stores.

You can get the logs by sending them to you by email using the Zero Application (I use the Android version)
https://zeromanual.com/index.php/Official_Mobile_Application#Obtaining_Logs

Then you can decode and read the logs using the "Zero Log File Parser" that you can get here
https://zero-motorcycle-community.github.io/browser-parse/

It will give you a text file in which you can search for the string "Batt Dischg Cur Limited", that shows when this limitation occurs. You can then try to correlate this limitation versus the SOC, temperatures, power that you try to get from the bike, etc... and make a little bit of reverse engineering to try to understand when the limitation arises ;)

Another way to simply check when the limitation applies is to use the "Zero Log Viewer". It will draw 5 different kinds of curves. In the 4th one, when the limitation applies, the "minCell" in flashy green will appear. In the 2d one, I can see the strong correlation with the SOC. In my case, the limitation seems to appear when the SOC becomes lower than 64%. I must say that I did not notice any loss of power during the ride. The max current decreases when the SOC decreases. In that case, I finished the ride with a SOC of 38% and I had a current limitation around 380 Amperes, which is pretty enough to ride in good conditions (perhaps not for racing, but it is not my purpose  ;) ). I attach two plots illustrating this. They are those in relation with the log just above.

Re: Power Limiter on Zero FXS Question

I realize just now that in the 4th graph there is also the indication "Limit Amps", but it is difficult to notice.
It can be seen on the left part of the graph (a small blue dot inside the graph), but not on the right hand side of the graph. OK, I can see it when zooming inside the graph...

In fact, I first noticed these green minCell curves in the Log Viewer, I tried to see in the log where did they come from, and I noticed the correlation with the Amp limitation.
But I do not really understand what exactly this minCell warning tells us !
If somebody can explain better...

Awesome, thanks very much for the great explanation.  I noticed the power reduction when I happened to be on a small stretch of highway going up a fairly steep grade.  I was doing around 60 mph and I pegged the throttle for more power but nothing happened.  It appeared to be maxed out.  I was in sport mode.  I think my SOC was in upper 30% range.  If I was riding on a typical street I probably wouldn't have noticed the reduction.  The limitation kicking in at 64% seems rather extreme to me.  I assume there is no work around for that.

I also think that there is no way to modify these limitations.
I assume they have been put in place in order to prevent damages on the batteries.
I prefer to have a slightly limited power and keep my batteries for a long time  ;)

By the way, I still have an old firmware (47) while the up to date firmware for my bike is the 51.
Different firmwares could have different programming for this limitation...

The logs are stored for some time in your bike. If you have not made too much distance, the log of this ride is perhaps still in the bike. In this case, you could retrieve it and see exactly what happened.
