The accessory charging port offers some electrical protections that most people should prefer.

Working with the controller terminals requires careful attention to torque and threading, to say nothing of the electrical hazard.

I do not perform buddy charging, and don’t think the DigiNow controller is engineered robustly for the task. It’s a stunt for knowledgeable insiders.

A stunt for knowledgeable insiders and a total bro move

But, any date of delivery 2.5 and Belly pan?
Is it in production now for real or part problems?
Are there customers allready getting 1?
Is there any news?

Because my English dealer has no idea.
Does it takes another week, weeks or months?
I'm fine with any as long as there is a delivery date.
Not knowing is wurst than having something to focus on.

And I still can't believe how hard it is to adjust a single page at Diginow site.... it still shows info about V2.0 and nothing about 2.5 and Bellypan.

I expect Branden's bike accident threw a bit of a spanner in their schedule. All I know is that it is due "August" according to my dealer (probably the same one you asked).

Alec Sharp is doing his very best to fulfil our dreams with Diginow 2.5 fast charging.

I'm finally getting a chance to install my 9.9kW charger.  I'm concerned that I may be missing a Y cable to connect the two Grey SB connectors to the Brown SBS Anderson that was unplugged from the OEM charger.  Here is a pic of all the parts that were included in the box I was sent.  I have everything wired and hooked up, but cannot figure out how the chargers are supposed to hook up to the battery lead with the parts that were supplied.  Am I missing something?

Snow4us ...

You appear to be missing the Y connector which goes from the two gray SB connectors to a SBS75x connection which is plugged into your AUX charging port, or to a controller linked SBS75x connector (to bypass 100amp fuse on most charging ports)

If I recall correctly you cap off the stock charger port.

Isn't there any manual included with parts included and stuff?

No, there is not. I maintained V1 documentation and since V2 have not been involved or seen uptake on this effort on DigiNow's part. I have not heard persuasive or pragmatic reasons given for this.

To assist, after waiting for some kind of approval, I have started adding to the wiki and maintaining a Google Doc:
https://zeromanual.com/wiki/DigiNow/Super_Charger_V2.5
https://zeromanual.com/wiki/DigiNow/Super_Charger_V2

For what it's worth, my first reaction on seeing the "V1" prototype demo in late 2015, and hearing about all the bike theory that was needed to understand how the demo was arranged, I said aloud: "Is any of this written down? You know people will screw this up if they don't understand how it or their bikes work". Thus, the wiki was born over the next year, and I became the technical writer around here...

Just an update on Brandon wich is given by email:

Because of his serious accident his recovery will at least take another 2 weeks, but probably 4 weeks.

So be well Brandon, health is most important right now!

[dennis-NL]

Any update on Brandon?

So he was hit by the closing fence on a railroad crossing.
That's like... 1 in a million, what a creepy accident.

He's video-posted again to Facebook yesterday, and seems to be recovering quickly but still requires a lot of pain medication.

There's a Motorcycles and Misfits podcast a few weeks ago (somewhere in the episode 262-266 range; can't recall it offhand) where they discuss what happened.

The gist (how I interpreted it) is that he had some kind of recurring kickstand position sensor issue with his Energica, and on his way to a Supercharger appointment with the pan on his back, was trying to get the bike going from a standstill in traffic in front of an intersection, and when it launched the gate was lowering.

It's a terrifying prospect but the point on the podcast I agree with is that this sort of thing is avoidable, and I'd like everyone to remember to take it easy with motorcycles, especially high-performance bikes. When a problem comes up, try to focus on relieving the risk and tension first. Call ahead and say you'll be late to an appointment; take the safer bike; keep heavy loads off your back; whatever it takes to keep the risk down.

Agree, probably afterwards Brandon agrees totally, but things happen, bikes are not only fun.... 

[Electric Cowboy]

Facepalm... why did  you guys have to be the last poosts in here smh.

Yes, I agree, Brian is right these things are totally avoidable.

I am recovering day by day, I did a day in the shop with Morgan and Zack today. I am really getting better fast, but I think perhaps I need a little bit more recovery before attempting too many more days like this. I never realised how physically demanding building these was!

I have an appointment with my neuroilogist at stanford tomorrow to take a look and see how every thing is healing. I hope to have good news! And thank you again for all of your support!

Best!

Brandon

Thx Brandon for responding and sharing your thoughts (and you are getting better)!

Here just a copy from your other reply wich has really good info for this topic also.
Just click the yellow link for the full text:

...
We are the only charger in the world that communicates with the ZERO BMS and we are the only non OEM charger in the world which will not void the warranty and backs that up with its own warranty, guarantee, and direct support with Zero.
