I'm busy designing a parallel/independent electrical system for the bikes. It will be running the lights, signals, alarm and stereo. Got the consumption and everything all figured out. Got about 3.5-4 hours run time off a 22aH SLA.
now the charging side of it. I want passive/on-the-fly charging just as a time extender, as well as some charging while it is sitting parked wherever.
I am thinking a 12v/6w generator, as well as 2 4w solar trickle chargers (the biggest I can fit on top of the "saddle bag" battery boxes.) peak36v/14w total charging input, passive 24v/8w which isn't much but will at least cover the lighting (all LED) draw..... Mostly.
Now, can I just hook all 3 of of those sources to the input of this controller https://www.amazon.ca/HUINE...r%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-8 and let it sort stuff out, or do I need a separate controller for each source. ?
Dunno, I've never tried something like this before. Solar chargers aint new but throwing the generator into the mix messes up the input consistancy.
