@mrwilson, wow you got a lot from our chats, way cool. Thanks for the assist. One new thing for you, and probably others too is that jplugs are single phase, 2 leg setups. So you use both legs together to get 208-240v.

Mennekes are 3 phase which is also three leg. So you tie a leg to neutral unlike the Jplug where you use the legs together.

@Chicamungo if your charger arrived shoot me an email or a text. I am in FL now, will be in Sarasota later today, and the funeral is Friday. I can do a hangout or duo video chat with you or just chat on the phone with you.

That's all for the USA.  If you are in an area that uses mennkes then a single mennkes has 3 phases available so you can use 3 SCv2 modules or 2 SCv2 modules and the onboard from a single mennkes plug.  From 2 mennkes you could use 6 SCv2 modules for 19.8kW of charging!!

That wrap is so cool, have you considered doing pinstripes on the rim to complement it?

Also a small addition to the quote above; although most public Mennekes are 11kW there are also heaps of 22kW stations and even 43kW stations along the motorways.

Thanks EC! I'll give you a contact today. I appreciate your readiness to help, even though it sounds like you've got a lot going on.

I can't help with documentation on this round. I hope DigiNow has that all worked out well enough now.

My budget is tight between my other Zero projects and getting my girlfriend finally moved to California, so it'll be a bit before I augment my SCv1 with v2.

So Brandon called me last night and walked me through how to set it all up. Many thanks!

I've taken [bad] pictures of the majority of my steps that I plan on post in a separate thread in the Pics section of the forums. I just want to confirm a couple of things and then mount the J-plug inlet to my power tank then I'll post everything. Just taking a few more precautions to make sure I don't post anything wrong is all.

Thanks for doing this. Please take lots of pics! Mine will be here in a week or two.

I got mine and set it up for external use until I get my 2017 Zero. Can we type up some basics on the installation and beg Mr. Willson to include them in his amazing online manual?

Also, I don't see a mounting bracket in mine...?

If you are referring to: http://zeromanual.com/index.php/Main_Page

Or more specifically: http://zeromanual.com/index.php/Zero_Aftermarket#DigiNow_Super_Charger

The web page is hosted by @MrDude1 and @BrianTRice does the bulk of the work on adding content with others like @Shadow chipping in.  I haven't ever done any editing of the site.

As for Super Charger Installation instructions...

@Doug S did a pretty good job of describing the SCv1 installation process in this post: http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6046.0

@Chicamungo did a pretty good job of describing the SCv2 installation process in this post: http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=6557.0

If you are missing the mounting bracket just contact DigiNow....they will get it sent out to you.

Oh wow, I missed the SC2 install thread. Great information there. I don't know why I thought you hosted it, my bad. Thank you for all the links.

That was shipped the next day. Appologies for that.

[nevetsyad]

No problem. This thing is great. Can't wait for the expansion!

Added additional specs on the site. I think Brian will be happy to see some of this type of info going up.

Very nice!  Curious, how much weight is added with each module?

this may be a silly question covered elsewhere, but if you have the 7.9 kW unit and you plug into a EVSE that only supports less than 7.9kw, it will limit itself to stay below the EVSE limit, right? Does it include the factory onboard charger in this measurement?  Silly question and I assume it all does, but I cant find where anyone outright says it.
