Connecting Turbo Levo to MPPT

[liefcarlsen@hotmail.com]

I’m trying to ride solar with my Specialized Turbo Levo. Where can I find a cable to connect my battery to a MPPT controller? Has anyone done this?

You'll need to supply more info.

What MPPT are you using, and what is it's output specification?

What is your battery specification?

Are you intending to connect your battery directly to the MPPT output?

Or do you want to connect your charger to the MPPT, and then from the charger to the battery?

If you intend to connect the battery directly to the MPPT, and the MPPT output specs match the battery input specs, then you will probably have to make the cable itself, using a matching connector for the battery charge port on one end, and a matching connector for the MPPT output port on the other end.

If the battery specs don't match the MPPT specs, you'll either need a different MPPT or you'll need a converter that fixes that.

"ride solar" is barely a thing outside prize competitions on flat terrain, or impractical PR exercises
