Thinking about some kind of power pack to keep in the van to charge e-bike, any recomendations?
They are probably all fairly decent but I've got an Anker Solix which is a nice bit of kit, can be controlled/monitored from your phone. Charges from mains or 12v in the van
I've got an all powers one which is ok but its loses a lot of charge when sat idle. I'm waiting for the DJI Power 1000v2 to come back on sale again. Bluetti and Jackery have easter(!) Sales on and wasn't there an STW bluetti discount?
I inherited a bluetti eb70
It's a decent bit of kit. Wouldn't have bought one my self though as I had no "need" for it. But it's been handy.
Bare in mind your gonna need a big one for an ebikes battery as the capacity of the eb70 which is already quite cumbersome is the same as that of a typical ebikes battery.
I have a Jackery one. Does the job well. I also use it to charge the ebike when at home so I can take advantage of importing cheap power at night and then charge my bike whenever I like. Every little bit helps I guess. The payback time on that is very long 😉
DJI power 1000 version 1 user here. I've been using it daily for nearly 18 months and not had any issues.
As mentioned above the V2 1000w batteries are occasionally discounted below £500, but if I was ebike charging I'd probably go for the DJI 2000w power station knowing that I could easily charge a bike battery and have enough surplus energy for an induction hob or kettle.
Not sure if I would opt for the new smaller form factor DJI 1000 unless space was the main consideration as the max continuous power output is lower although it does have an inbuilt solar charging capability and WiFi connection if you are considering using a solar panel to charge it up?
I've got an Ecoflow River 2 with a 476wh battery which is more than enough to charge my 320wh Levo SL and leave enough for a bit of phone charging and lights overnight in the van.
More to the point - I've found it incredibuly useful, mine lives in the van but gets used in the house and garden a bit. 2000w Mains output if you need it, sometimes its easier to grab the battery than run an extension lead for some of the bigger mains power tools too.
