? Charging Electric Bike Battery

^ Good point.

If you run the bike battery down to 50 percent charge, it will deplete your truck battery by approx 25 Ah to bring the bike battery back up to full.

Well, you'll be pushing the limits of the cigarette lighter plug, and running your truck's battery down.

As your truck battery voltage drops, the Amps will increase to maintain power on the inverter side. It's a vicious cycle; more Amps makes the battery drain quicker, which makes the inverter draw more Amps, which makes the battery drain even quicker, and so on.

I'm personally not real big on inverters unless you've got a big battery bank and solar to recharge it.

The specs for that battery say max charging amps is 5 amp. A 400 watt inverter at 80 percent efficiency will give you about 9 amps @ 36v. So you will be OK. Some charger don't play nice with a MSW inverter, so get a pure sine wave inverter.

Better responses over in tech forum.

Look on the charger for specs. Need to know the amps.
