It provides electrical energy on demand. It includes two independent generators connected to a roller which provide twice the capacity of a normal bike generator system. The peak power output capacity is 500 Watts but typical output of an adult non athlete is around 100 to 200 Watts.
- Page 4 The two independent DC generators can be combined in two different configurations. (1) End to end in high Voltage mode (Also known as “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 charging device is the Bluetti AC200 which has a max Voltage of 145V DC.

Connecting to 12V deep cycle marine battery Purchase a deep cycle marine battery made for a trolling motor. The deep cycle battery should have an Amp rating of at least 30 AH. If it is less than you may need to buy a charge controller. If this is the case then order the NC25A 12V charge controller. -
