patch panel for versatile charging
« on: September 08, 2017, 05:03:13 AM »
I'm going to post this in segments​ since there are a series of photos and there's a limit on how much on how many and how big per post.

In this photo I'm plugged in to onboard and two diginow SCv2 bricks. All for inlets are have separate displays. Helps me maximize charging rate while staying under 1C.

NEMA 14-50 cable attached. This location has 235vac power under load, so at constant amps on the AC side three bricks would exceed 1C.

Top SCv2in my stack. I don't run a factory plastic cover for my tank area. Stack of three bricks fit easily under a CBR650RR tank cover, like $40 on eBay including shipping.

I am very much in favor of this approach for managing charging. Keep it up, and let's make sure we can spec this out for someone to repeat.

Next iteration, I won't darken them with dark potting epoxy overrun.

Actually, I may use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015MTGZ4S/
in the next iteration.  Simpler wiring, less bulk behind the panel.  Buying
one to compare.  I'm also tempted by the DIN-mount model, but it's
even bulkier and more expensive.

Next iteration will be more compact, as well.
