Issue: Cold Charging.
36 degrees.
My bike:
Zero FX 2.8, upgraded by adding an additional battery to a 5.7.Quick history.
Bought the 2.8 Zero FX.
Rode it like I stole it.
Left it on a charger for a week. Came back to it and it was not charging.
Entire system shut down.
Had a quick charger on back order - with an additional battery.
Returned bike to dealership to have it analyzed.
Battery defective.
Got new battery.
Got additional battery and quick charger.
Quick charger has adapter that has dealership stumped as to where it connects.
Waiting on reply.
Took Zero FX home.
Rode it in 36 degree F. weather.
Unit operated fine.
Put it in garage and plugged it in.
Green charge light blinked - and then I heard a "click" near the electric motor.
Green light went dark.
Stopped flashing.
Could wait a few minutes and plug it in again.
Then, as each time I repeated the same actions, after unplugging the bike, and waiting a few minutes, the bike would appear to be charging normally for a few seconds and then - relay would "click"
- and then the green light would stop flashing and go dark again.
Green light flashes - as if it is charging - and then the "click."
Green charging light, goes off.
Brought bike indoors. A warmer environment.
In the kitchen. It's clean.
No oil from bike. Not too hard to convince the girlfriend - the bike is Ok in the kitchen.
After about a half hor the bike began to charge normally.
