I use my Jackery explorer 1000 occasionally to charge my bike and it appears to take the same amount of time as using the mains .
One thing to note tho if you are considering buying one is capacity, my Jackery is 1000wh and my bike battery is 750wh but for every 10% charge it takes 10% out of...
I have just fitted a solar panel to my van to charge my Jackery 1000w power station
I have also bought a spare battery which I can leave on charge while out on the bike which should give me a few days riding while off grid
Do you plan to route the solar direct to the inverter?
Yeah I think if I bought another I'd go for a bigger capacity but I got mine at a reasonable price of £550
I have 2 504wh batteries for my Merida e160 and it'll charge both as long as they're not totally flat
However I've just bought a new Cube stereo hybrid 160 with a 750wh battery so a...
I have a Nissan elgrand.
Its an 8 seater mpv and the seats can be configured or removed however you want.
Mine is a 2.5 litre V6 petrol and does around 20 mpg, 25 on a run but I run it on LPG and pay 72 pence a litre at Asda which equates to 40 to 50 mpg.
The seats all fold flat and can be made...
I bought a Jackery 1000 from ebay, I think the rrp is around £1000 but I paid £550 and I've been pleased with it
I have 2 x 504wh batteries and can almost get 2 charges/top ups as long as they are not totally empty
I would have preferred a larger capacity power station but they were quite...
Yeah I almost went down the petrol generator route but ended up with a 1000wh Jackery instead
Screwfix have them in and they're quite good value but my thinking was that I couldn't charge my bike or spare battery inside my van and would have to leave the generator outside unattended
Also...
I bought a Jackery 1000 explorer from Ebay and I'm really pleased with it
They retail around £1000 but I got mine for £550 and it was unused and boxed
I have 2 x 504wh batteries which I should be almost be able to charge as long as they are not fully flat
Funny reading your post as I bought exactly the same rubber mat, the smell does eventually go after a good while.
I phoned the supplier who recommended washing it with vinegar of all things
I left mine outside in the rain for weeks and washed it several times with and without vinegar but the...
Try using an online converter to calculate what size battery you'd need, the bigger the better I would imagine
Or you could buy a power station with built in invertor
If say you bought a 1500wh you should be able to get 2 charges from it
I've just ordered a Jackery 1000 portable power station...
I have a Nissan Elgrand and it is ideal, you can also fold down the seats to sleep in it.
The only problem is they're a 2.5 or 3.5 V6 petrol so they're thirsty.
I have mine LPG converted so it half's the fuel bill and makes the running costs acceptable
There's also no need to remove the front...
I have just entered the intro yesterday and am really looking forward to it although I've never done anything like this before and I also usually ride Hamsterly and Dalby red routes.
At 57 I thought I'd give it a go before I get too old.
I would just go for it if it's something you want to do...
Haha I agree , it's perfect apart from fuel consumption and corners, mine is the 2.5lt 2wd Elgrand but still terrible.
I went down the route of an LPG conversion so only pay 0.53p a litre for fuel so it gives the equivalent of around 40mpg on a run.
I bought one similar to this but it wasn't suitable.
I have plus tyres on (2.8) and they were too wide to fit, I tried bending it but the weld cracked and the bike still needed support at the front
