How make a solar trickle charger?

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by blufoot, Oct 21, 2012.

  1. Does anyone know the parts needed and knowledge of building a solar powered trickle charger?

    I remember there used to be a thread on Ducatisti about it, hopefully written by someone who is now on here...

  3. I found those just after posting but I really don't know what I'm buying, there seems to be a few options, what would I need for a 749..

  7. Any of those will do for a bike battery, I use larger ones for my cars as these are left for long periods without driving away from a power source. But maybe you would be better with an optimate type charger if you are leaving the bike over the winter and have access to a power socket.

  8. No power socket unfortunately, if there's no difference I'll try the cheaper one.
