POWER PACK AND CHARGER
THE CHARGER-DISABLE INTERLOCK
When the charger is attached and plugged-in to AC power, the BMS communicates with the charger. The BMS
can send a signal to the charger requesting that charging terminate immediately. When the charger is disabled,
the indicator-lights on the charger will show that charging has stopped.
There are two conditions that will cause the BMS to disable charging (listed below). One of these conditions is
also reported by a self-test-result beep-pattern; the other is not.
TOO HOT
If the BMS detects high internal pack-temperatures, it will both disable the throttle and prevent charging.
This condition is also reported by an error-beep pattern after BMS self-test when the bike is turned-on. See
Understanding Beep Sequences (page 34) for a description of the Too Hot error-beep and the remedies.
PACK FULL (HIGH PACK-VOLTAGE)
If the BMS detects that the pack is already full, it will disable further charging to prevent damage to the pack.
This is not an error-condition; it is the result of a successful charging-cycle. There is no self-test error-beep which
reports this condition.
During an ordinary charging cycle, when the cells are balanced, the charger (not the BMS) will sense that the
pack is full and terminate the charging-cycle with a “green light.” The BMS does have a redundant back-up
mechanism to prevent overcharging of the pack. If the charger fails to terminate a charging-cycle when the pack is
full, the BMS will terminate charging itself to prevent damage.
