Hi Sacman (or others with the same charger). Do you think this charger would be suitable for bike mounting? I have one on order and I'd like to put it on a seatpost rack for onboard charging. Any idea if the components will be able to handle the bouncing around, or if I could secure components with some hot glue or silicon.
I'd be concerned about water and dirt getting in there. It would be better to keep it in a padded bag or box, and take it out of the box when charging for good airflow.
I just started playing around with mine last night. I didn't have a lot of time but it didn't look like it was kicking over into CV or trickle mode or anything like that. It looked like it switched off completely as soon as it hit the set voltage limit at the end of the CC charge, but I might have missed something. Sacman, are you seeing any current flow at all after the LED turns green?
