Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Batt Dischg Cur Limited and Low Chassis Isolation
« on: October 12, 2016, 03:37:08 AM »
Hi,
I have managed to read the log files of my Zero S 2015.
Thanks to the decoder utility I can see many details, thanks.

However I have a concern about two messages that occur on almost every ride / charge.
1. Even if my SOC is well above 60% I get the message Batt Dischg Cur Limited on most of my rides.
2. Almost every time I charge, there is the message on Low Chassis Isolation.
Should I be concerned and contact my dealer ?
The bike is driving well

An example is copied here and I attach a summary of the messages as well.
Line 677:  00665     08/16/2016 13:34:17   Batt Dischg Cur Limited    633 A (91.73913043478261%), MinCell: 3681mV, MaxPackTemp: 21C
Line 753:  00741     08/16/2016 14:41:06   Low Chassis Isolation      100 KOhms to cell 3

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: DigiNow Super Charger officially available from 2 dealers!

Sorry for the late reply.

@Chris the latest information I got is that my unit will be shipped in the next days. I was also informed that my charger is part of the 9 units that Diginow said were available for purchase.

@Lecram Yes, I am going to install it myself.

@Mostlybonkers Thanks, I live in the Netherlands, one of the countries with a high density of 11 kW 3 phase public chargers : )
The latest information I got is that it will be able to produce 11.3 kW like one of the other posts on this topic was mentioning.

About the installation, I do not have a power tank. I was told that in that case I can connect it the connector that is normally used for the power tank. This seems to be a 3rd way of connecting different from connecting via the controller or Anderson connector ?
This is also important information for possible clients who do not want to invest in additional battery but have the full charging capacity available.

In general I am excited, also because in the long run it could possibly charge up to 16 kW  :D!

Thanks for the link, I ordered a charger from this place !
I include an image because it is one of the few pictures on how it actually looks and how it can be mounted:

Also, I am sharing the information that I received on the charge power when it would be connected to a European 3 phase 16amps connection.
A 3 phase 16 amps connection can for example charge an electric Mercedes B250 or a Renault Zoe with 11 kW power (3 x 230V x 16amps).
The supercharger with a Mennekes connector will be able to charge @ 9.3kW with the current firmware, allowing 80 amps out (80 x 116V=9.3kW).
The firmware is updateable after some more testing for higher power, for example with 16kW.
When my package arrives I will post on my experiences with mounting it with a Charger tank Cowl.
Yes !

Hi,
I am new on this Forum and just bought a Zero S model 2015. Doing a full charge in 1 hour would be great with a supercharger. I did not buy the Chargetank as I hope to be able to buy something faster. In the Netherlands, most public chargers offer 3 phase (3 x 240 V x 16 A = 11 kW). It would be great if a three phase version is available for the DigiNow charger.
My question is following. How can it use the full power of three phase when a single-phase vehicle coupler is used ? I read in a message from @ElectricCowboy that a three phase mennekes to j1772 adapter is needed. But I don't see how it can fully use the 3 phases if on the motorcycle side there is a J1772 socket ?
Thanks for some clarification.
