Nothing for sale

[RC-Monster Mike]

I ultimately want to get a lead battery bank/inverter set up in my van, along with a high output alternator so I can charge in the field. I try to ride my gas bike most weekends when it isn't raining, but the place we go is in an hour away. If I can get a couple hours in, charge while I eat some lunch and go back out it will be a win. After 3-5 hours on technical trails, I am pretty whipped anyways. No need to get a full charge or discharge if I don't have time, either. If i stop for 30 minutes and charge during that 30 minutes at a decent level, it will add to my runtime/funtime. I would love a 60 amp charger setup, but i don't know if it exists and if it does I probably can't afford it. I have seen 15 amp chargers for a couple hundred bucks, and even the 10 amp lead charger I use works fine as long as I can power it - and i already own it - I basically need a power supply to provide 120 volts and 15+/- amps.

The cycle shop was indeed impressed. They saw it once before when it was a lead sled, too. I stopped by after a ride last year(short ride on a bike trail, basically as the Lead would give you 40 minutes if you rode like a girl). The batteries were recovered enough to get a wheelie or two in the parking lot, though they were pretty flat. The guys at the shop have been bothering me ever since that day, actually - I told them I was converting to a better battery setup and they have been anxious to see it. The shop owner was quite impresed with the performance even at 80% output(25% increase going to 100% power in theory, but feels like more in reality).
