Got it - looks like the best method is to feed the charger input from underneath to fit it into the aux port.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Aux Port Inaccessible w/ Side Rack
« on: June 15, 2017, 08:55:54 PM »Has anyone else had this problem? Was the rack not installed correctly? Maybe flip that L-shaped bracket? I'm waiting on a Y adapter that may be more flexible and could fit in this space.
Is this the factory side rack? Which year and model zero? My happy-trail side rack makes the aux on my 2014 SR very awkward to get to but not inaccessible.
I have a 2016 Zero S. It's the factory rack but I'm using the third-party DigiNow v2 charger. I have an Elcon 2500 and a Zero stock quick charger as well but haven't had a chance to use these since the rack was installed (they're being shipped cross-country). It appears like the wiring on the back side of the charger input is wider? Could probably force it in but makes me a little nervous given how the Aux port is bolted into place on the bike.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: DigiNow Supercharger V2 - 6.6 kW/7.9kW Unit
« on: June 01, 2017, 09:41:49 AM »
I understand that when using the J-plug setup, two charging stations are needed to get the full 6.6 kW (SCv2) + 1.3kW because one j-plug station maxes out around 6.6 kW but what additional equipment is needed to get the full 7.9 kW from a single 50 amp RV outlet?
Does DigiNow's NEMA 14-50 Tail come with a splitter for the onboard charger or has anyone had to order a splitter separately for their 6.6 kW unit to get the full 7.9 kW out of a NEMA 14-50, Mennekes, or Tesla Tail adapter?

Side view - different fans than the 4.6 unit.

I've seen a lot of reference videos and content for the 3.3/4.6 Diginow Supercharger v2 but not many for the larger kW versions. Hollywood Electrics' website references it as 6.6 kWs while Diginow website references it as the 7.9 kW unit. Some surprises with this version as it does not come with a connection for the onboard charger. I understand that charging with just the 6.6 kW unit would max out a Level 2 J-plug charging station but I thought an onboard charger connection would be included to be used with other accessories when charging at higher powered charging stations.
I was also accustomed to the Elcon 2500 setup where the J-plug connector could be swapped for a NEMA 14-50 plug but this version appears to need the added j-plug gun ($200) to connect the j-plug connector to the plug tail/accessory (e.g., Tesla, NEMA 14-50). This would make sense if it was installed where a charge tank would go but seems like added weight/space when carrying it in a top box or side case.
Super excited to put it to use but my Zero S is still making it's way cross country after my move to the East Coast.
