Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: 2012 Zero recall
« on: April 14, 2018, 10:54:47 AM »
I know there are a few 2012 Zero owners who also own a 2013 and newer Zero and never check the other 2012 and earlier forum.   If you do own a 2012 Zero S or DS, check the other forum category about a 2012 recall that might affect you.  Overall I think this will be a good thing for both Zero and their owners to all get on the newest 2013 and up S/DS models which share the same platform.   Again for most on this "2013 and up" category this doesn't apply as it is only 2012 S and DS models.
What recal? Do you have a link? Thanks

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: DC Charging Options
« on: November 03, 2017, 04:41:53 PM »
It's important to know that those 350 kW will only be reached with battery voltages of 800V or higher. Same as i.e. the Tesla Superchargers, the CCS plugs are current limited. Depending on the manufacturer and source they currently talk about 200-300A of current. So on 400V, they will no be able to deliver more than Tesla already does.

And most importantly, as you already noted, the cars capable of actually taking that much power are still to be announced ;-)

CCS will become the new standard in Europe, and the 350kw charge stations is as far as I know a demand from manufacturers.

I am totally with you, and I have no idea. 

J1772 inlets are fairly easy to find, and CCS Combo seem to be much harder to price.
A CCS inlet is about €1300-1400.

You can get them from the BMW I3.
I got ahold of two, with the wrong wire color for about 120€. But I don’t know if I can get more.

As I understand it they had developed a product, found it didn't work on
enough of the stations tested that it would be frustrating and expensive
to sell and support.  At the time.  For the sample of stations available at
the time.

But I don't really know the whole story, that's just what I pieced together.

Yes, I know, not a conspiracy, but you know, you set it up with an East Coast
West Coast kind of comment.

Workaround to the 200v minimum would be, if you have a AC charger that
also works on DC, to run it through that.

In other words, tell the station that you require within the range they can do that
overlaps what the charger can handle, say, 240VDC and use that to run the charger
at a rate limited to what it can do and what your battery can handle.

For example, I'd expect that my diginow SCv2 9.9kw system would (if compatible
with DC, which I have yet to test), be able to take 240VDC to charge my battery at
1C, i.e. 9.9kw, up to 116.5VDC.

So if that's true, then the missing piece is the signalling to tell the station that a vehicle
is present, and that the vehicle is ready to charge at 240VDC.

And the inlet itself.

I Think that’s the way to go.
Then you have the option for both ccs and type 2 charging. But there isn’t any real benefit from the ccs charging, when the ac charging is just as fast.

If any body builds something, I would love to test it. We have our own 50kw ccs and chademo charger, and we can set it to go as low as 50vdc. And I have a zero, we can use for testing.

Is it on one charge, or is it ok to do 2 125mile trips within 24h, with one or two chargers?

No, I just remember someone telling me that it might be possible. But I've done it with a lot of other chargers.

I think diginow has a charger that might work. ;) the 12v battery is just a buffer. The plan was just to run the garage/office, witch only has a small 220v consumption. My main draw comes from charging my Ev's. and this way I can make a mean fast charger.

I planed to use cheep eBay parts, for my first setup. Going from a 54v panel to a zero battery. From there to a 12v 200ah Thundersky battery, and from there to 220ac and 5v D.C. Not the most efficient way, but a way to get started. But the first step up crept overheating, and finally it blow up. But now I'm planning to use two zero batteries in series, and run a switch mode charger directly from there. And a D.C. D.C. Converter to a 12v battery. Making 220vac and 5vdc. This will make it possible for me to charge all my Ev's from the battery, without a executive 220vac inverter. What do you think?

I'm queues, how do you read the BMS log? Can you connect to the BMS board directly? Do you know if the contactor pre charges before closing, when you use the pull-up method?

Thanks for helping me with a similar problem. I would like to use a single pack in a go cart, but couldn't get the contacter to engage, so I've been bypassing the BMS system while testing. Not something I like doing. So now I have a couple of questions: when I do this, is the Bms still active? Will it disconnect when battery is fully charged/discharged? And where can I buy the Anderson connectors I need to connect the battery to the Go cart? And lastly... is there a pin diagram on the packs? Thanks!

Tech Help / Re: CVT sourcing

I've considered using CVT for a lot of my projects, but I always end up turning the amps up instead. Are you building for MotoE?
