Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: 12v Battery
« on: January 05, 2023, 02:37:05 PM »
I use zeroNG to monitor my 12v battery.

We may be talking about the same app. I think it got renamed due to Zero giving the developer grief.  This is the link to the one I use for android:

Sorry if this has been asked already but I couldn't find any reference to it. Is the ZeNGo app good enough for keeping an eye on the 12V battery?

Electric Motorcycle News / Re: A great removable battery design

I think the Silence bikes with removable batteries have been around for a while now, does look like a brilliant idea.  Seat have rebadged one as the Mo, in the UK anyway.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: SR/F Water Fail
« on: November 11, 2022, 06:02:39 PM »
My sr/s did this once, very similar to the first description in this thread, about 6 months ago. Dealer told me a recall was imminent so I waited. But heard nothing.

In the mean time I noticed when washing the bike the charge socket would fill with water and a drain hole in the side of the socket seems to aim at unsealed wires below (might be a type 2 socket thing?). Added a rubber plug on the charge socket from the end of my charge cable and a piece of hose from the drain hole out to part of the frame.  I've ridden in some pretty bad rain a couple of times since and never even had an error.  I wasn't sure there wasn't something in the firmware updates which had stopped it though.

Do you need the latest dash firmware for this to work?  I would have to decide if onscreen nav trumps less readable display.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Firmware updating tip for SR/S

Anyone got any more tips for getting a firmware update to work? Last one worked first go but this MBB 26 has failed so many times now I've lost count. I've tried my phone in a number of different locations and with mobile data or wifi turned off and it keeps failing. I think it may be the Bluetooth to the bike losing connection but I don't know what I can do to help it.

It is effectively powerline comms but it uses the CP line rather than the power lines to talk over.

Sorry, was thinking as I typed that. "It" was a DCDC convertor. Unless, as has just occured to me, they tranform then rectify. Probably best to ignore my ramblings and I should try to type fully formed thoughts.

I expect your right and something to do 20kW or more would be pretty chunky.  The newer bikes can do 12kW AC with upgrades so I would have thought at least that in dc must be doable, assuming it's possible to have something that can do both jobs.  I don't see why the rectifier can't be separate but I only have a rudimentary knowledge of power electronics.

Wouldn't it basically be the ac charger without a rectifier?  Comms are weird for ccs but done over the CP line and there's plenty of stuff out there to do that, and there must be existing circuitry to read the old CP stuff and pass that to the chargers/bms.

« on: September 23, 2022, 11:37:22 PM »
It could be that those codes are a leftover from the one year in the past (2013?) when Zero tried to use CCS as an extra cost option to charge their bikes using that system before they realized that most CCS chargers were not compatible with their 115V battery packs.
No that was Cademo which has it's own funky little plug.
And supports discharging, but EU chose CCS.  Not sure how Chademo did in USA though.

I'd never spotted them in the manual before.  I must have only looked up the ones I'd seen.

Updated my bike yesterday and rode to work this morning. Not noticed anything different.

One of the faults is for CCS DC-DC converter, my guess would be they are keeping the batteries the same and using this to change the voltage.  I believe Porsche do something similar but the other way round as their batteries are 800V but most CCS chargers can't go this high.

Anyone spotted the charge port yet? Have they put it somewhere it won't fill with water?
