Not necessarily an older model. Delta-Q makes chargers primarily for things like 48vdc golf carts. So it's just a different model, one of dozens they make. You could series up two of them to double the output voltage but I don't have any idea if it sends the same enable signal to put the bike into charge mode so the BMS does cell balancing etc.

Yeah, I was thinking of just seeing if I can charge up to 48v. But not sure if it has same signal as newer ones.

Do you think they used a different charging algorithm, or would I be able to charge up to 48v with this charger?
It's totally different. Perhaps it can be reprogrammed for newer bikes, but you won't be able to do that yourself. You may as well be looking for a compatible charger.


FWIW, I own a half-dozen of the chargers you want, and I have not used any of them in years.

I would love one. I sent you a pm

These are Anderson (andersonpower.com (mouser.com/manufacturer/anderson-power-products/)) Powerpole connectors. Up to 55 Amp current capacity when new. You can slide them apart and rearrange the layout. Usually not chemical tolerant, so unlikely to be original on any vehicle electronics. Popular connector replacement for a while in RC vehicles. I have a box full of these.
Probably the original connector in your persons Zero was damaged, so he used these as a replacement.

I was actually able to find another zero 48v charger, and it had the same plug. Don is correct, it's from an older model, not custom.

It could be one for the earlier models that had 48V batteries, can you post some photos of the actual box? I have one of the 96V Zero ones to compare to. However I think those still had the SBS75 connector as the unofficial manual warns about plugging the wrong chargers in.

You may be correct. I think this was used with Zero MX, not sure the year.

I purchased a Quick Charger from a person who stated that he got the charger from Zero corp. But the connector is different from what I see in listings, (possibly earlier prototype). Can someone tell me the name of this connector, so I can get an adapter to try to charge my dead 2018 Zero S? It looks like a custom 3 prong Anderson PP type connector to me. Also, the adaptor I am looking for is Anderson SBS75X, correct?
Thank you
