I am looking into getting a Solar Charger for my Yuba Sweet Curry custom eBike (1500W Crystalyte) …. Battery configuration is 48 Volts and 40 Amps (2 LiFePo4 Lithium batteries connected together). I will be going on a 400 mile (each way) tour this winter from Modesto, California …. through the Redwoods, to Eureka. Planning on 3-4 weeks round trip.
I found this Solar Charger >>>
Solar Charger for 36V and 48V Electric Bike Batteries
I know nothing about electronics. Would greatly appreciate your comments ….. Would I be able to charge while cycling ? How long to charge when stopped ?
I plan on leaving early each morning, around 5:00 a.m. Will probably be able to ride only for around 3-4 hours, but hopefully get enough charge to continue riding a few more hours later in the day, then find a campsite with electricity and charge overnight.
The first two legs of my journey will be long (80-100 miles each day), if I can get enough charge from the Solar Charger. Going through the Redwoods will take me 3-4 days, so I will only be traveling short distances each day.
