Buy Sell Trade / Re: 2014 Zero SR Parts for sale
« on: September 30, 2025, 08:54:06 AM »What's the status on this ? Have you sold everything last year ?
No, still available
Gotcha! I was in your area last week, but didn't see the reply before I went back North. I will check again if I'm down there

Datasheet won't do anything for you. Sevcon is highly software-customizable so you need to pull it up in DVT and see which RPDOs/TPDOs are configured. Also if you intend to use a motor other than the one came with FX, prepare for a world of hurt.

2014 DS on the second belt at about 33,000mi. First belt failed right after a tire change at around 12,000mi - I didn't verify the tension myself, and the shop clearly overtensioned it. Second belt I've installed myself, checked tension from time to time, and it has been strong for 20,000+ miles.

Here is another Chinese charger that may work. Lower output current (similar to original Calex) but also much lower cost : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806711097498.html

Very nice! Is there an advantage to hooking up the external charger via original Calex DC path versus the aux DC path ?

I've pulled the charger out, and noticed that the connector charger was plugged into is now energized when the bike is keyed. I guess all the power connections are routed via the MPC and there is no separate charge path ?

Looking at that Ali listing a bit more I've noticed that for Zero S/DS they propose using Enable signal instead of CANBUS. So I guess it would be usable through the AUX charging port and not the main charging port where Calex was connected with CAN.

Yeah, installation isn't a problem. I was mostly just wondering if alternative chargers emerged similar to how Elcon and DigiNow stuff was being developed in the past. I came across this Chinese offering : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805701219095.html
It's not clear if it's correctly programmed to interface with Zero though despite the claims and also the wiring interface isn't described.

Folks,
Calex charger stopped working on 2014 DS. What are the current options for replacing or upgrading it ?

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: 2014 Zero DS - is there in-storage balancing ?
« on: June 22, 2024, 12:12:37 AM »
Yeah, I appreciate you trying to help out. The data is a bit weird with this one.

I've never seen cells doing voltage recovery in this fashion (I have several DIY packs in projects). Without load voltage will recover some, but it's not going to grow the longer the load is removed.
