Pedal Power Bicycle Generator Emergency Backup Features
-
This dual two way generator system is easy to setup and generate power 0 to 100V DC up to 500 Watts output good for prepper backup power and for STEM in the classroom. Used to charge solar generators that can handle 145V DC
-
This will plug directly into a portable power station like the AC200 which has a max input Voltage of 145V DC (See photos)
-
500W DIY pedal power provides piece of mind when the power goes out. This system will charge 12V batteries through a blocking diode. and charge controller
-
We will include a custom adapter to easily plug into the AC200 model power station.
-
This system can 24V lithium portable power stations / solar generators through an over Voltage relay (contact us for help on this)
About Pedal Power Bicycle Generator Emergency Backup
500 Watt Bicycle Generator that easily charges portable power stations. Comes with a XT90 plug that connects into Bluetti AC200 portable power station. You may request a different power adapter to suit your current power station or solar generator system. Great for providing emergency backup power for prepper use The two independent DC generators can be combined in two different configurations with the flick of a switch. (1) End to end in high Voltage mode/series mode. This mode tends to be 10 to 20% more efficient than low Voltage mode but is harder to find compatible DC charging devices. One compatible high Voltage mode charging device is the Bluetti AC200 which has a max Voltage of 145V DC. (2) Parallel mode delivers more current but less Voltage which is useful when trying to charge a 12V battery through a blocking diode. HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE NOT TO EXCEED THE MAX VOLTAGE OR POWER WHILE CHARGING YOUR SYSTEM? As long as you put a Volt meter on your handle bars while you are pedaling then you can easily see when you are pedaling at the right speed. The faster you pedal your bike the more Voltage and Power you put out. I've gotten hundreds of questions on this, so let me know if you need help, Best Wishes, Bradley Whaley - Electrical Engineer HOW TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL TAKE TO CHARGE A POWER STATION: Search the powerstation online and find out it’s capacity in watt hours. Now, if you are in really good shape, you will be able to produce 200 watts consistently on your bicycle powering the bigfoot. If you do not exercise but pedal at a leisurely pace, you will produce closer to 100 watts. Now divide the power station watt hour capacity by the watts you will be able to generate based on your fitness, and you will know how long it will take to completely charge your power station. For example, a power station that has a 2000 watt hour capacity would take 10 hours (2000 watt hours/200 watts) to charge if an in shape person is pedaling and would take 20 hours (2000 watt hours/100 watts). If you use the power station in conjunction with solar power also, that will significantly reduce the amount of effort needed from pedaling to fully charge the power station.
