I'm getting around 85 miles at comfortable highway speeds and in a normal riding posture (Madstad windscreen and deflector helped a lot w/ efficiency.) Way more than this for around town driving.  I could send you over the BMS logs if you would like to take a look.  A conservative guess would be 10-15% battery degradation.  The battery has been well maintained through its life w/ me as the single owner:

-Full cycle at least 4 times throughout the year if not being driven regularly
-Always stored at 60% in a climate controlled garage.  Never stored at high or low charge
-only ever charged to 100% if immediately being driven after charge reached & very rarely discharged below 5-10% unless fully cycling and if so right back on the charger
-Rarely utilized the full 9.9kw 1c charge rate that the double J1772 charger enables (only really needed it when on road trips and would trickle charge ~1.5KW for daily local driving.

#1 thing though is that the diginow supercharger was put on shortly after purchase.  This charger creates a thermal barrier between charging inverters and the battery monolith which is way better for battery health than the oem charger.  The stock charger roasts the battery monolith and increases battery degradation and dendrite formation.


lmk if you have further questions.

Bumping this for price reduction.

I have this listed in a bunch of places, but wanted to list it here for less in hopes it could go to a Zero nerd who would appreciate the work I have put into this bike!

Link to my cycletraders listing for better photos: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/5039911032

Here's the description from my other listings:

2017 Zero DSR ZF 13.0 with Power Tank and Super Charger. This is the fastest charging Zero on the market; perfect for electric touring or daily commuting. Single owner w/ 3,716 original miles. Purchased new in March 2018. All scheduled maintenance complete including motor commissioning and timing. Ready to ride.

Modifications:

-DigiNow Super Charger v2.5 (3x 3.3 kW) Installed October 2018. Up to 9.9 kW charge rate via dual J1772 connectors. Full charge in about 1.5hrs depending on charging infrastructure, battery temperature, ambient temperature, and configured charge rate. DigiNow is no longer in business and these units are rare and sought after. The aftermarket charging inverters are mounted to the base of the metal enclosure and create an air gap to the battery the stock chargers were known to cook the battery monolith and cause premature cell aging, and this design avoids that. More info: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Chargers#DigiNow_Super_Charger_V2.5

-Power Tank (3.6 kWh) Installed June 2018. Brings total battery capacity to 16.6 kWh. Range varies with speed, terrain, temperature, and ride mode.

-Madstad Engineering 24" Windscreen, windshield extension and lower buffeting screen. Provides quiet, clean laminar airflow with no buffeting for a 5'11" rider at highway speeds. Madstad is no longer in business and these windshield kits are rare for these bikes

-Touring Seat Significant comfort improvement over the stock seat.

-24L Givi locking Top Box

-Bullet Brake Parking Brake

-3.1A Dual USB-A Charger

-Tesla (NACS) to J1772 Adapter Charge at Tesla destination chargers.

-New Tires Shinko 705 Series dual sport tires installed April 2024 (less than 200 miles on these) Front: 110/80-19 Rear: 130/80-17

Had planned to sell this in summer of 2024 and had a full inspection performed at that time but a loss in the family delayed this sale: all critical fasteners inspected, Drive belt tension inspected and adjusted, 2V systems tested, Throttle values verified in spec. Brakes, pads, rotors, and fluid inspected. Minor cosmetic damage on right foot peg, brake and handlebar from dropping it in a parking lot after getting over-confident practicing low speed maneuvers (See photos for damage) All firmware updates current. This thing is about as kitted out as a zero can get and has been an incredible bike.

The bike shows active codes 20, 32, and 51. These are expected and normal with the aftermarket DigiNow charger and BMS not indicative of any fault.

What You're Getting

16.6 kWh total capacity

Fast L2 charging via dual J1772 (up to 9.9 kW)

3,716 miles on a well-maintained bike

All maintenance current, all firmware current

Touring-ready with windscreen, comfort seat, and top box

Price

$8,300 OBO located in Bend, Oregon. Test drive w/ cash-in-hand only.

That's awesome man, glad you had luck with yours.  I found that they didnt agree with my ass and was actually more uncomfortable than the stock saddle for me  :-\   Anyhow I'm going to give the new touring seat a chance and if that fails, I'm going to work with a custom shop to figure something out.

Bumping this b/c of price reduction

FYI I decided to purchase the Zero touring seat to see if it is a good enough improvement.  I will post a review once I get it in and give it a ride.

Yea, you're telling me!  I would just get her her own bike, but Zero seat height is way too tall.  Maybe I should build her a sidecar haha

With Covid opening up the calendar, I'm finally getting time to put some miles in on my 2017 DSR.  I could not stand the stock DSR seat and purchased a Corbin custom seat used from a user on this forum in 2018.  I have been riding a few hundred miles and I really don't like the Corbin seat (curently for sale in the classifieds section).  I would like to finally get a comfortable setup that makes my DSR fun to ride and tour with.  On another note, I was super excited to take my SO on rides, but she refuses to go on anything more than 20min becuase of the poor passenger seat comfort on both the stock seat and Corbin. 

What are my options from here? 

-I see that Zero now has a touring seat, however there's only one thread on here that mentions that seat and I can't find any reviews.  Even if it's more comfortable than the stock seat for me, i'm assuming it would still be uncomfortable for the passenger.

-People seem to have luck with Airhawk cushions, has anyone used them?  What size pad works for the stock DSR seat?  Again, this solution wouldnt work for my SO unless a company makes a cushion small enough for the passenger portion of the Zero seat.

-My final last ditch option would be to reach out to a local custom upholstry shop (I live in central WI) and have them make something custom with a nice passenger seat.  I noticed that Terry H has a awesome passenger seat, but I cant find any information about how that setup was achieved. 

If y'all have any suggestions, I'm all ears.  I would love to join the 500 mile club and do some touring, as well as take the lady for more rides, but right now neither of those are posisble due to the seat killing me after 100-200 miles.

I paid $350, letting it go for $250 $200, buyer pays shipping.

Purchased this from a forum user a year and a half ago and have finally been able to ride on it for a bit.  It does not agree with my rear end so I will be figuring out another solution.

Here's a picture of the pan I have.

I understnad that the stock charger cooks the monolith, so i'm glad the designed the gap.  I'm a bit worried that water intrusion into the pan will ruin the chargers eventually.  That's why im curious as to how others sealed the gap between teh lip of the pan and the frame.  I will read up on the use of thermal paste b/t the chargers and the pan for the Diginow setup.

Did yall add foam or other insulation to the gap between the pan and the battery monolith?  Did you look at the pic I linked, is that the same pan you have?  If so, how did you attach your cooling fans?

Nvm, i'm an idiot, just realized yall were talking about the chargers not the belly pan.  I guess the one I have is the most up to date.  I need to find a better way to protect if from debris and h20.

Thanks for the reply Brian.  Just to be sure, it’s and upgrade from this pan that was included with my DigiNow 2.5?

https://imgur.com/gallery/mD9UiUA

  If so, I would be interested.  Can you share any pics of what it looks like?  What is the price?

Does anyone in the MidWest have a Sevcon controller I could borrow so I can add reverse functionality to my 2017 DSR?  I'm in Central WI (near Wausau) and could travel to you or pay shipping.  I can provide collateral if you like.

Cheers!

Is this the upgraded pan that they made for V2.5?
