update on the Jackery, Ena I now know its not man enough to charge my bike, Tonker done some calcs and he reckons from flat, I'd have to charge the jackery 2 and a half times to fully charge it and, That stacks up to my practical test today,, The jackery arrived today with 50% charge, I topped it up to 100% which took 3 hours then, I hooked up my ebike battery to the jackery power unit, The jackery eminently did't like it, the cut out activated and it shut down, After a couple of attempts it accepted the challenge and the fan activated and it was ' game on' After just 2 hours the display was flashing at 8% left and the jackery shut down, So I plugged my ebike battery charger into the mains and it took another 2 hours to be fully charged so, After another consolation with tonker , he recons the 1000 watts model is the better choice but, Its a whopping £700's worth, A cheaper solution is to get a 220 AH leisure battery and tour a hot country, So its food for thought right now,,,,,
