Oki, but I suppose first have too make connection (with/how?) and have a password?
Any manual for it online?

Bluetooth terminal, BLE.

See BTR's comment about the draft manual he's written, I guess he's waiting for permission or clarification from Electric Cowboy.

Thx for extra info, I want to be ready for it when Diginow 2.5 arrive and not anymore have to stay at work because battery isn't enough charged yet to make trip home.
Going from standard 1,3kW/h to 3,3kW/h, have to travel 80km each ride doing mostly 120-130km/h so battery is like allways empty when I arrive... 

For new users like me who only ridden the Zero and not in to the "computer-side" of things every word of extra info is welcome.

Could you email me some shortcuts for more info pls?

I really don’t see why it’s a big deal that I wait for consent to release information. That’s how I am allowed to hear and record.

If others don’t do this, that’s their business, unless I’m responsible for their having known the information.

The fact that I can’t get a simple release statement and DigiNow thinks it’s okay to operate this way is concerning.

[dennis-NL]

No problems, my mistake.
I thought u and Diginow were like the same, excuse me, my bad.

This thread has gone from a solution for charging to 80% with the stock charger to how to do this with SCv2.5. If you have a bike with a J1772 or Tesla input , ChargeTank or SuperCharger, consider getting a home EVSE with WiFi and a control app. Make sure the app lets you set charging parameters such as time to charge or charge to a percentage.

Hello,

I think that these combination should do it. I just bought a bluetooth AC switch with freely available python library to control it and a rasberryPI:

Libraries are here: https://github.com/bernieplug/plugable-btaps

Total Cost $80.

I will report on how the project goes....

Interesting.  Can it handle the amps?  I don't see any max amps specs.

[giacomo]

On the back it says 15A 1800 Watts.

I will monitor the temperature once I get it.

Yes, I found https://plugable.com/products/ps-btaps1/ after I wrote it

Electrical Rating   120VAC/60Hz/15A

Good, that should work!

I was looking at chargers and ChargePoint has one for $599 on Amazon. You can access commands via their app and stop charging any time or at any percentage.

but: what is best for battery?
say for example:
to 80% at 6kW, than to 90% at 1,3kW?

Is this to be used with the stock charger?
If so, you won’t balance the cells (or I’m I missing something?)

DigiNows start ramping down the charging current somewhere around 90%. I'm not sure what the ChargeTank does. If you're going to let the bike sit, charge to only 80% to increase battery longevity. If you need more range, complete charging at whatever rate just before you leave. Keep in mind, though, that battery longevity is now pretty good if you don't leave it at very low charge, below 30%, for extended periods of time. So, IMO, it's okay to prioritize convenience over charging to optimize longevity as long as you don't totally ignore it.

I've been told that the bike will balance the cells anytime the contactor is closed if the SOC is above about 50%. I charge my bike to 80-90% and don't recharge it until it gets down to about 25-50%. My cell inbalance stays low, about 3-5mV, despite frequent fast accelerations on my commute.

I guess what I missed is the fact that the jury is still out on stock charger best charging strategy.
