    Charging setup for e-bike

    ...day. I'll use the stock 110v e-bike charger, which draws 2.5A and completes a full charge in 2.5 hours. I can fit as much as 400W of rooftop solar. The turnkey battery route would be a Yeti 1500X, but we do a lot of driving so I would rather have a system that ties into the car's...

    Resolved We need a Solar and Electrical sub-forum!

    A critical area for overlanders is the power systems including solar, power stations, batteries, inverters, etc. Currently there is no forum for this, people just post stuff in their build threads or General Overland. It would improve these forums to have a Solar/Electrical sub-forum.

    Best way to mount a solar panel to freedom tops?

    I want to mount a panel to my jeeps freedom tops, probably not permanently, something that will not be blown off, but something that can be removed when not camping. Any ideas? 100 watt panel seems the appropriate size. When I go camping, I use 2 large Plano cases so mounting to the rack won't work.
