Hi,

I'm looking for the charger (delta q or different) which give me ability to use the Anderson inlet). I have no needs for very quick charging option but when I'm using standard plug - the charging port becoming very hot.

I would prefer to use Anderson instead.

Any suggestions?

Thank you TEV.

When I went to the link a 3.4kw charge came up but that will not work with a Zero.
It must have:
1. The brown 96V connector.  It will not work otherwise.
2. Be programed for Zero's battery pack and BMS.

Your dealer can get a Quiq charger for a Zero for $600.

It's working just fine with my 2019 Zero DSR. 
If you bother to read the add , you will find out that the cords with the connectors are available.  I am just being flexible,  and I will provide whatever AC plug the buyer needs, and same for the leght of the DC cable . Or it gave the opportunity to de buyer to make his own cables to keep the price down.
I don't use this anymore because I  have a Charge tank and two 3.3KW DigiNow chargers in the pan.

If he doesn't know why it's getting hot he likely didn't know he needs the other parts as well.
It also says 240V 20A so a simple wall outlet will only give you the 1.3kw charging.

If you say it works with your Zero then so be it.

I thought you were just posting a link and not your charger.

.

If that was true,  it will be posted in the add, but isn't.  If you connect it to 120v,  will try to take 32A , and trip the breaker.
But you write so nice and confident,  that everything that you say most be true.

Hi,

Thank you guys.
Is there any other option to just simply plug into Anderson and charge.
Like I said - I'm not looking for quick charging option. I just would like to use anderson plug or both.

I do not know why my regular charging port is getting hot - but it does after few (4-5)hours of charging.

Kuzynj, first I assume your in the US, the Andersen connection is a DC connection so you have to have an external charger to convert the AC to DC before it goes into your bike.  Just get a Quiq charger from your dealer.  It plugs into a regular 120V US outlet.  If you want to use both your onboard charger and the Quiq charger it will cut you charge time basically in half and lower the work load on your onboard charger. 
One issue in doing that is you will need a separate circuit for the Quiq charger and the onboard charger or they will trip your breaker.
You can use the Quiq charger by itself but you have to key the bike on first and then turn it back off when it starts charging and it will keep charging.
The heat is either from a charge cord that is worn out or too small a gauge cord.  The best is to look for a 14 gauge hospital grade C13 power cord.  If it still gets hot the bikes C13 plug may have a bad connection or corroded prongs.

TEV thanks for admitting it only works with a 240V outlet which is unlikely to be in a US garage.  Your add does state you can send a 3 prong AC cord with it which in the US is commonly a 120V plug.  Good luck selling it.  It likely works great in the EU.

Which bike is it? Year and model? And what is getting hot, the port in a charge tank?

NEW2elec,
Yes, I am in US.
And yes, I do have 14 gauge cable and 240V in my garage.
I do have ev car charger w/J1774 plug - I thought - maybe I can use it to charge my bike. 
I will go with your suggestion and take a look on prongs - that might be an issue. - Thank you.

DonTom,
2014 S - with '16 13.0kw battery pack + add 3.3 power tank.
Charge port (120v inlet) is getting hot after hours of charging.

It should get warm but not hot.  Perhaps your charge cable is getting old. High resistance in it from age will make it heat up more. A new AC cord rated at 15 amps or more probably will not get as hot.

You can put a killowatt meter on the AC cord it to make sure your not drawing too much current.

IMO, you should  find the REAL problem.  MY first guess is you have been using the same old AC cord for too long.
