How to charge a mokwheel inverter

[wrightstuf]

Bought a Mokwheel 1000w inverter...
How do you charge the inverter so you can charge your bike?
Can you charge your bike up and the inverter at the same time?

By the way, if you want help on something like this, you should post and share as much information as you can, rather than expecting a bunch of people you haven't even introduced yourself to to scour the internet to try to figure it out. At the very LEAST, post a link to the item and look for the manual online yourself before asking.

By the way, Atavar's acronym means: "Read the Flippin' Manual", and that is indeed the best place to start. What does the manual say?

Welcome to the forums, by the way

This is an inverter. It has no battery. It takes the voltage in your bikes battery and let's you run other things off of it, such as lights or a coffee maker. I suppose you can plug a solar panel into the input and then plug your charger into the 110 output and charge your bike battery, but there are definitely cheaper ways to do this.

Some inverters also have batteries built into them, such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) sold for computers: when the house power goes out, the UPS detects it and immediately kicks over to using the built-in batteries through an inverter to keep the AC output going.

Not sure if this one has batteries built-in or not, but it doesn't seem to be that type of inverter.

When I first saw inverters built to be used from an E-bike battery I thought that's nuts. I've yet to see anything to change my mind.

I for one would love to have an inverter to run my CPAP and small stuff from a spare bike battery when bicycle camping.
$600 is a ton of money for an inverter with no battery but on target for one with an internal battery.
This one does reference DC “charging” and Solar charging. You’re not going to run a 1000w inverter off solar.

They are out there for a bit less cash as well... not sure if i'd try no name brands.

I actually looked at the cheap inverter I already have and the input voltage is spec’d at 6-72v but I haven’t tried it yet.
I need to get a battery discharge port connecter.

You can get small lite weight battery included units for far less than $600. For that matter as little power as a CPAP uses you could likely run it off a tool battery inverter.

Nowhere in the specs does it mention a battery and it only weighs 3.5 lbs. I think it's just meant to run other things off of your bike battery, say if you had a power outage at home. It would be much cheaper to buy a regular inverter and hook it up through the XT60 cable on your ebike. This looks interesting:
