Charging off grid - Trek Rail 5

[RichardF]

Hi There
I want to be able to charge up my Rail5 Trek in off grid locations using solar panels and lead batteries from my RV. Has anybody on this forum done this and if so would they share their knowledge with me. My basic equipment is 2 X 330 W solar panels and 3x130 Ah batteries. I realise there are other bits that I will need but before embarking on this it would be good to talk/write with someone who knows and has direct experience of charging E-bike battreies similar to the Rail 5 from solar panels and batteries.
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

It's certainly possible, here are some other forum members who have successfully charged their ebikes using solar panels:

Hey does anyone know of a solar battery charger strong enough to charge a 1000 watt ebike battery?
