Thanks for the report.Vorpal wrote: ↑13 Jul 2022, 8:50amThat looks interesting. Did you try charging a power bank, and charge the phone from that?pjclinch wrote: ↑13 Jul 2022, 7:30am Following up on this post-tour (we started from home in Dundee, crossed over to the Isle of Bute and back by a different route, a very good tour ) we took the advice of power banks and opportunistic charging at formal camp sites, and that worked fine.
We also took a solar charging panel which was pretty good, though once at a certain level of lateness/cloudiness it would reach the point where it wasn't supplying enough for a phone, and that confused the phone which then claimed to lose charge. Subsequent battery re-calibration reboots when charging from the wall seemed to sort things out, though I'm not sure if the battery did actually go down or just think it did.
Once I'd discovered this "feature" I just stopped using the panel if it was cloudy once we were well in to the evening. Didn't try the panel while riding, but I think it would work fine spread across the back panniers/rack (has various anchoring eyelets). It's one of these...
Same thought. (I now only charge the USB battery pack from the hub dynamo, and everything else from that.)
