Tech Help / throttle disable interlock (2011)
« on: August 26, 2016, 04:11:16 AM »
Does anyone know how to bypass the throttle disable interlock?
yes I know it is normally a bad idea. I just want to cycle my cells a few times before I remove the pack again.

Hey Squid,
Did you ever figure this out? I too need to disable my throttle lockout on my 2011

Fire never crossed my mind. I was more worried about the weakest link in the chain limiting the available current.
It charged up to 4.1V last night, but the others seem to make it to 4.2V. I put it back on the OEM this morning. Want to see if it ever makes it to green Full Charge.
I thought I read somewhere if it doesn't reach the balanced state the throttle will be disabled. I would hate to get it all buttoned back together and reinstalled to have no throttle.

Thanks Knuckles,
Most of the cells have accepted a charge and appear to be holding. I do have one rung (a single parallel group / half a heat shrink pack) that is giving me trouble. The OEM charger has kicked in, but is unable to charge that. I just switched back to the lab supply to saturate this last group. I might have to just take it out if I don't feel confident with it.

Do you think have good capacity? How long were your cells dead?
Do you know if these are 3.7V nominal cells

Tech Help / Dead battery revival

Has anyone successfully revived a dead Zero battery?

I purchased a 2011 Zero S that was left uncharged all winter long. The built in charger immediate detects an error and is incapable of charging.
I am in the process of attempting to manually force charge the parallel banks separately with a couple of lab power supplies. So far they seem to be taking a charge but I have not brought the entire battery backup.

I assume even if they all take a charge they may have diminished capacity. Has anyone else attempted this?
Does anyone have any information on the bikes cells, charger or balancer (BMS)?
