Jackery to charge E-Bike battery

The "E-Trucker" Hailong Battery is small but proving to be a functional choice.



It fits nicely on the rear rack (or strapped to the top tube as shown in the advertising picture on the left)


It doesn't appear to be an obvious battery, more like a rear rack utility bag.

The charger for the battery is small and very lightweight.  






The charger for the battery doesn't pull over 100w when charging ...

SO the Small Jackery 160 can be used to charge the e-bike battery !  


This is a big win for touring.  


I often take a Jackery charging device when touring. I can now take the small Jackery 160 less than 3.97 lbs, instead of the Jackery 300 that can charge the e-bike battery.  This is very useful and the Jackery can be solar charging while charging the e-bike battery.  

This is a good option to be able to add power to the e-Bike when your are away from the grid... or just use to have a "solar powered" e-bike.

The Shimano Steps battery/Charger could not be charged with the Jackery 160 (It required a larger Jackery 300 7.1 lbs - see below).

The Jackery Solar Generator 300 can be used to charge the Shimano Steps E-Bike battery. 

I looked at the Jackery Solar Generator line-up and I believe that the 300 is the smallest unit that can be used to charge the Shimano Steps Battery.   I wanted this ability for a few reasons.

1) when camping and away from the Grid, the Jackery Solar Generator can charge while I am off riding. It can then be used to charge up the Shimano Steps Battery.

2) with the Solar charging ability, I can use to Jackery making he E-Bike a "solar powered" E-Bike.

3) If I needed to, I can pack the Jackery for short overnight tours, having a little less range anxiety.


It is able to charge the Shimano Battery to about 30% in a couple of hours.  

A solar panel can be used to charge the Jackery 300. 


This is a good option to be able to add power to the e-Bike when your are away from the grid... or just use to have a "solar powered" e-bike.

In the future, there will be better options (smaller, less weight) but this works for now.
