Hi Carl, 7 years "dealing with Zero" as their largest distributor. Are you expecting Zero to do the right thing, to act responsibly, with moral clarity? Cheat-them or snow board boy. There's a reason INVUS has placed these persons at Zero and not industry veterans. Do you know the level of product failures? BY some estimates well over half of all Zero motorcycles are off the road. 14000+/- produced in 13 years.

No I got confused, that is the newer style charger, it has the latest part number 45-08253. Just ignore my previous post sorry

Hijack.......
Is that a e-mower in the background & if so, what brand?

Sharp eyes. That is a Greenworks "40 Volt Lithium Twin Force" mower. Works great and I no longer have to worry about running over an electric extension cord while cutting my lawn. ;)

I almost never ride in the rain. The charger seems to be very well sealed and I am pretty sure that it was just the failure of an internal component, not due to water entry causing an electrical short. Even if I took the device apart I would have no idea what I was looking at.

I just revised my charger replacement instructions slightly and added some more information that might be useful to anyone else who needs to perform this task. Let me know if there are any questions or if I didn't make any of my comments sufficiently clear.
