Adjustable eBike battery chargers

[StuartsProjects]

Can anyone recommend an adjustable battery charger whereby you are able to set the maxium voltage and charge current.

Say a charger that could be used for up to '48V' batteries at 5 Amps.

Not quite what I was after, only 3A.

However I used some of the keywords in the name of that product you found (so thanks) to search Aliexpress and found this;

Power Supply

By the way, how do you put a web link in a post so that it shows a picture of what your linking to ?

How about this 60V 0-5A DC from Switzerland? There will likely be extra charges, before you can charge. Can't recommend, as I don't have one. Also, I have no idea if the cheapos are any good.

Or this more expensive power supply? Often items like this are also available on Amazon, but one can be stung waiting for something to be shipped from China unexpectedly - where it'll be shipped from isn't always clear on Amazon...

If this forum's code can determine (or allowed by the linked website) the main image used on your link, it'll scale/resize it in. If not, on my PC I just right click and "view image" using Firefox, copy the URL and past in using this forum's insert image option. If "View image" isn't available, I disable CSS using the Quickjava addon for Firefox, and find the image that way, or look at the code using the Web Developer addon to find the image URL.

The higher the charge current, the more early life damage you cause in your battery. So if you want it to last a long time, keep the charge current low, 2 amps max or even less, for the longest life span.

Y0u can power it from any ebike charger or a laptop one or playstation 12v power supply or a pc power supply or solar panels or a 12v generator or anything else you can think of.

So if you want it to last a long time, keep the charge current low, 2 amps max or even less, for the longest life span.

And to extend life further, dont charge to the full voltage.

Nice to have the choice.

Now looks like an interesting option to an adjustable power supply. Several reviews of it on Youtube, it looks like it will do what I want, as well as being able to act as a solar charger.

I have a 150W 12V bench supply, whjich I use for my iCharger 106B+.

Thanks.
