Post by Bigdummysteve Β» 25 Aug , pm. Privacy Terms. Quick links. Solar charger or dynamo Post by andyt Β» 11 Aug , pm Hello everyone, Some advice please. I'm planning a solo camping tour next year in France and need to address the issue of charging a phone and GPS. I've looked at various Shimano hub Dynamo systems but wonder if a solar charger would be a better option.
I have no experience of either equipment. Any help would be appreciated It will need charging once a week, probably. I don't think there's a solar solution good enough for a bike, unless perhaps you're guaranteed full sun every day.
A dynamo with the necessary voltage controller to charge your devices will cost more than this battery pack. Re: Solar charger or dynamo Post by nmnm Β» 11 Aug , pm Quilkin has it right but I'd grab a cheaper battery pack so I could leave it charging in the toilet block without toooo much fear. Can recommend the Anker ones. Opened out and attached over rear rack when cycling, then more efficiently angled at the sun when campsite reached. Malo to Narbone trip last year.
