Caution
Working with high voltage is dangerous. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding high voltage work. If you are unsure about the rules in your country, consult a licensed electrician for more information.
Gen1 Zoe batteries are marked Stable in the software. However, a few improvements can be made.
There are 3x batteries available for the Zoe, this page focuses on the Gen1 22/41kWh batteries
- 22kWh 2012-2019, Gen1
- 41kWh 2016-2019, Gen1
- 52kWh 2019-, Gen2
When using the 22/41kWh Gen1 battery, be sure to enable the line #define RENAULT_ZOE_GEN1_BATTERY in the USER_SETTINGS.h file. You can also enable Automated Contactor Control via GPIO pins to automatically turn on the conactors when the emulator turns on, skipping the need for manually supplying power to the pins.
Note the battery fuse. Do not confuse it with the version from the 52kWh battery. Use OEM fuse, part no: 993B1 5333R
There are also two other fuses inside the pack. There is a fuse under the cover for the contactors and a fuse at the join of the two halves of the pack at the opposite end from the connectors. If the fuse in the middle of the pack blows, this shows as a cell imbalance with cell 48 being somewhere around 0v. Replacing the fuse restores operation.

- If the cell number 48 is low, your internal battery fuse most likely has blown. Then you need to open up the battery and replace the fuse.
