Wouldn't the bike have to live outside for that to work though? scratch

Or do you hang the panel out of the window? Very Happy

mine came with about 10 + ft of cable , easy to extend if you wanted . panel sits on shed roof and wires just come in from above .

I suppose if you live in Merthyr though, you'd need more like a 100 miles cable to reach some sunshine Very Happy

I got a lithium ion battery it didn't come cheap ( £120 odd ) but its 14 AH up against the standard 5 AH.

Be careful with the lithium batteries there are the good expensive li-ion batteries, and the cheeper not so good lithium iron batteries.

Good ones are lithium ion, bad are lithium iron.

Two different chemistry batteries.
