Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Help Understand my 3.3kw charger my Zero S
« on: December 08, 2022, 06:40:22 AM »
Hi All,
I need smart minds than myself to help me understand this. I bought a J1772 to Nema 5-20 adaptor, and I was using it to charger my Zero S 2022 while on the road. It was only level 1 speeds of course so I wanted to boost it up. I created a connector so I can use the brown port and ordered a 3.3kw charger. I just got the charger but the power connector on the end is a standard US 3 prong plug (NEMA 5-15) can this handle 3300 watts? The cabling is only 14AWG which is 15 Amps.
I want to be able to charge with my stock charger and my aftermarket at the same time to get up to 4.6kw. So if I connect the aftermarket charger and my stock charger to a Y splitter I would pull 13.75 AMPS with the 3.3kw charger and 5.4 with my stock charger so 19AMPS.
It just seems strange to put a 120v plug on the end of a charger that wants to be connected to 240v.

Thanks for the reply, managed to connect with someone who was able to advise me the company sent the wrong pins. I was given SB pins and not SBS pins which are slightly longer.

« on: November 07, 2022, 10:50:36 PM »
Hi All, I am trying to install an Sb750XBRN connector so I can use a 3rd party charger. I have crimped the poles onto the end of the wire and pushed them in and heard a "click" everywhere online says the little metal tabs need to fully cover the thin tab. I have pushed and pushed and I cannot get them to go in any further.
Any help on what I might be doing wrong?

Hi Don,
Thanks for the reply. I did read that you need to use the onboard or it will only charge keyed on. I do plan on doubling up. I am excited as I love the storage tank and don't wanna lose it.

So aside from the j1772 plug everything else makes sense?

« on: October 30, 2022, 05:07:00 AM »
Hi all,
I have been doing research and I am hoping someone who has done this mod or knows about it can help me confirm if I have the right idea.
Step 1. get a J1772 to 3 prong female lead
https://www.evseadapters.com/products/j1772-ev-adapter-for-ebike/
Step 2:
Buy Elcon 3.3v charger and get it programmed by the company.
https://www.evcomponents.com/elcon-tc-hk-j-3300w-charger.html
Step 3.
Remove the SB-50 connector and replace it with a sb75x brown connector
https://www.electricmotorsport.com/anderson-sbs75x-connector-brown-w-contacts.html
Step 4:
When charging plug the Elcon into the end of the J1772 plug, connect the SB75x plug into the port on the zero.
Step 5.
Bike should now charge at 3.3kw?
Is this all the steps and does this information seem correct this is what I have managed to gather based on countless forum searching.

I pulled the 2 big connectors and waited a minute and plugged them back in, no improvement sadly.

Yeah, It's a bummer, thank goodness I have CAA so they can tow it up for me. The nearest Dealer is 137km away. It was a fun road trip riding it back!
It was also interesting to see how good its range is when using non-highway speed roads Had 67km on the dash, I rode it 51km and had like 28 km left.

Yeah I tried pulling the fuse on the Dc to DC and still the same iasue it turns off the dash.
Even in the app, when I connect it can't tell what kinda of bike I have says unknown model.
Tried to see if I could uodate it with firmware but when I?check for updates it says download is corupt. Try again.

It seems like the bike lost its programming and is disabling the throttle. Gunna, wait to talk to the dealer on Tuesday as it is a long weekend in Canada.

Everything is the same for me except that when I kick up the kickstand the red triangle flashes faster and the green circle flashes. The triangle also flashes if the bike is off but charging.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Brand New Zero S - Red Flashing Triangle - EDIT FIXED
« on: July 30, 2022, 05:37:02 PM »
Hi All,
I just bought a 2022 Zero S and rode it home. Has about 150km on the odo. I plugged it in last night and now when I start it or charge it the Red Triangle icon on the bottom right flashes slowly. No pattern but a slow flash, when I kick up the kickstand and turn the bike on the triangle flashes very fast and the green circle icon in the top left flickers. I have no throttle when this happens. When I turn the key I do hear a click in the top right of the tank.
Any help would go a long way thank you.
UPDATE: - Bike was towed to the dealer and they reinstalled all the firmware, they had it up and running in a little over an hour.
