solar

Post by sammy347 »

hi i was thinking of hooking a solar panel to the bike, the bike lives outside all year . i have 2 panels one from halfords but i would like to use some sort of voltage regulater so the battery wont overcharge, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas of which make of one to use and where they can be bought, i looked on amazon but the reviews on them were not great, cheers

The reg rec already on the bike is an overcharge regulator. Any excess just warms the RR slightly.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
