Thanks for sharing this Shadow! I'm following your progress and will likely be following in your footsteps...
So you went the enable signal route, can you post a schematic and a pic of how you wired it up? I assume you connected it to one of the signaling pins on the anderson connector to keep the contactor closed, correct?
Was the CANbus option even feasible? Was there an option to order the charger with the protocol to talk with the bike straight out of the box?
The AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-3KW-Elcon-TC-Charger-for-Electric-Vehicle-for-LiPo-LiFe-Lead-Acid-battery-pack-for/32855919611.html) supplier states that they can work with most BMSs but I doubt Zero's is one of them
I saw a post with someone using a ThunderStruck EVCC-Basic Controller but that is considerable added complexity that I would prefer to avoid, so I'll likely be going the enable signal route.
Are you using these in tandem with the stock charger?
