I tried looking at his page as well, and got an error. I'll try calling him - maybe there's a problem with his web provider right now or something.

I'm also interested in various adapters for charging.

The Anderson disconnect setup is a "feature". It is the EXACT same way that electric forklifts charge. You disconnect the battery pack from the drive system, and connect it the charger. It's also the worlds greatest disconnect for when you are showing off your vehicle at a car show and some jerk starts pressing random buttons and switches.

Even though I have a charging interlock, I also pull an Anderson disconnect on my car when I have it parked on display.

The BMS is an older style one. I think that it may have previously had some sort of remote display for it.
