Hi ESokoloff!

yes - its a good idea to mount the device on te bike. Why not.
a protection again environmental influences is necessary then.

it consumes about one - well known - pint of volume
und would fit into the size of the housing you decribed -
when it comes without power adaptor for heating.

your needs are different to mine.
charge twice a day about the same time.

now that i've cracked the code 'everything' is possible.
its just a question of indiviual programming.
the gadget may charge the bike at two different times a day to a given level.
just when you plug it in- with no hands on.

i dont know where you live. Is heating an issue?
or do you live in one of those warm & cosy sunshine states?
Not so in Austria  :'(

Yes Moto7575 - you are right- carging can be done your way.

ZERO++ charges and takes care of your battery in another dimension.

* It's communicating with your ZERO and shows some important values which it is working with
* It takes care of your batteries health by charging to the SOC you've set.
* It's calculating when it starts charging and your ZERO will be charged at the time you have choosen. Even at another day, week, month...
* It's taking care of your batterie all winter long once you've startet the WinterMode by
   keeping the SOC at the level of your needs and also regulates the batteries temperature.
* Or simlpy bring your batterie to the right tempertaure before you're going to ride it in the cold season.
* Charging instantainously is also possible. Up to 100% if you want and then balancing your batterie.
* It does no change any built-in precautions of the battery managemnt system. So there is no trouble with warranty.
* It works with all chargers, Internal, external, two or more.
* A RealTimeClock guarantees for excact time even when you unplug it.
* A 3.2" touchscreen simplifies operation
* The ZERO++ is connected between your wallplug and your charger(s)
* The OBDII plug has to be connected to maintain the communication
* Foilheater may easyly be installed - and then also connected

Rather than a timer, wouldn't a circuit that would disconnect the charger once the desired SOC was achieved be more useful?  I do not have the knowledge of what it is called or how it is made, but such a circuit would be of interest to me too.

Absolutely an AutoMagic device would be superior but above my abilities hence my request for assistance.

I’m fairly pleased with what I’ve electro-mechanically cobbled together. 
Every now and again I’m wrong in my math so my ending SOC is off & once I toggled the DPDT switch for the electronic timer while the spring wound timer was off so I short changed my ending SOC.

I had recently thought about how an electronic device could monitor the battery voltage & cut off the charging via a contactor.
Would be extra nice if this could be done via a smart phone/app.

What a luck - i can help  8)

Hola!

It's a little gadget to be placed beween your wallsocktet und your charger(s).
The communication with the bike is done over the OBDII connector.
A heater for the battery may also be connected and controls the batteries temperature.

and where - in good old fucking cold Austria
had a little time left during the corona - lockdown  :o

Home Brew / Automatic Charger - without braking warranty - ZERO++
« on: December 20, 2021, 11:42:53 PM »
Good evening!

I was always in trouble to treat the battery well and to be charged to the right soc at the right time.
Also in wintertime, we have -20°C in Autria, keep the battery warm an cosy and and the right soc.

So i decided to build an automatic charger
 8) place date, time and a soc- target an your bike will be ready for you
 :o choose winter- mode and the bat. stays charged to a certain level and at a choosen temperatur
 ;D or simply charge instandly and balance the bat.


Have fun

bernardo
