SR/F Charging problem!

This am I plugged in the bike using a 110v, and the outlet/plug clicked and the red light turned on. The whir of the charger on the bike did not occur. I tried several outlets, no dice.

Then I rode to a local clipper creek charger, one failed to power up, the second got the bike to charge, but again no whir.

I tried several 110v outlets around town, same issue, a click, red light, and charging screen on but not charging. Please tell me this is a power cord issue, my dealer is 400mi away:(

Which Power Cord do you have?
I think Zero's come with either of two brands.

You could test your EVSE, on another EV, to confirm if it's good/bad.

Turbo cord 120/240. I don’t think it is the cable.

Sounds like a charger problem to me. Do you know if it is fused somewhere? Check connectors and see if there is a fuse for the charger. Be sure your Turbo cord has AC output.

Perhaps not much else you can do.

Now it works again after letting it sit overnight.

I am concerned, I am getting my 4K service soon, what should I have them check?

Good News.

BTW;
Are there any Error Codes stored?
What FW are you on (17, 18, 19)?
Do you use your TurboCord at 110v or 220v?

Could the battery have been too warm to accept a charge?  I wonder what changed over night.

It wasn’t warm. I just updated to v19 yesterday, not sure how that might have helped. This is the second time since owning the bike that this has happened.

Perhaps that V19 is a bug fix that only effected some bikes. Do they say what the updates do?  If so, any mention of an update for the BMS?


IAC. let's hope your charging problem is gone for good and not an intermittent issue, which are the most difficult things to fix, in most cases.

On the clipper creek charger that did allow charging, did you notice the rate of charge that your bike was doing?

[gstrub]

I was getting the full 5.7-5.8 on the CC charger. I got an error code for charge station failure when I checked codes. I just don’t want this to happen and strand me somewhere!

[Syawedis]

It could very well be your charge cable. I’d rule it out by trying as lunatic said. The fact that it was charging at one CC station at the full rate tells me the onboard chargers should be fine.

Did you check the specs on the CC charge station?  They vary all over the place. Perhaps it's 5.5 KW which could be asking for such intermittent issues if the pilot signal cannot lower the charge rate on the SR/F automatically.
