The solution for work I settled on is just a 24 hour mechanical timer set to 6 hours ON. At our office we are very environmentally responsible and don't like having phantom loads on if not using them. So this solution Crank it to 2 hours before the timer comes on and unplug it when I leave work...

@Browneye if you battery does NOT heat up then there is something wrong with YOUR battery. They produce heat while discharging that's just science and physics. Think about it you take 6-8 hours to charge them and then you go for a ride and discharge them in 2 hours. Power going in is no...

@Gionnirocket That sounds really cool! You have my brain going now! Simple project for now I'll just do the timer with delay. You got my brain going now, I might make a version 2.0 where I dump the contents of a charger into a project box and add a circuit to delay x Hours then charge to x% then...

I think I found one!! https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07MMGNL99 I just need to know if I have to set the timer every single time or if I can program it then just hit a button to repeat the cycle when I need to charge. I'm kind of excited to actually build one using that timer you linked to if not. I...

@Gionnirocket Sorry I didn't even see this reply. This looks doable! I would just need a project box to put this in and stick two power squids coming out for my 2 bike batteries at home (Mine and my partners bike).

The one for work I think I am going to use a 24H rotary timer as it's easy to plug in right away when I get there set it to 2H before it clicks on and then set it for 6H. I'm never at work obviously for more than 24H so when I leave for the day I just unplug it. It won't work for home though...

These look like standard 24 hour timers does not seem like there is a delay on them and it will run every 24 hours which is not ideal. At home it would charge my battery again if left plugged in

Sorry I get that this solution would make you happy but I am looking for a very simple and mechanical solution is all. The internet can be unreliable and I would have to setup some logic so I know as the user my routine is going to run properly. Think about the fact then when I turn it on there...

If I leave my battery on the charger because I sometimes don't ride for 3-4 days it would charge it each day. I am just surprised there is no delay feature on any of these outlets with timers on them. It's a niche problem I know but I want to just come in from a ride, put my battery on a timer...

Yeah they have weekly ones also problem is they repeat. I know I am being picky here but I only want it to run once and never again till I trigger it again

Yeah it's an option if I can't find anything else. I don't want it to run every 24 hours though or else I would just use a daily timer. I can go to work at any time and come home from rides any time so it need to be on demand

Yep problem is no smarts at work. I could get a wifi model and connect it to the work wifi.. That is an option

I do have a smart home so I also thought about programming a smart outlet (one with a button on top) you would plug in and when you press the button you just run a routine to start a 2 hour timer then turn on and run for 6 hours then turn off. Problem is I also have a charger at work that I also...

FYI this is what I currently use for auto turning it off when charging. You just press the button for the amount of time. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/282830184377 I thought about using a spin Timmer that has pins for 6 hours and you would just turn the dial to 2 hours before the on peg so the...

I have been looking for a simple outlet that allows me to set 2 timers. A delay timer and then a length timer. When charging my ebike battery to get the most life out of it I don't want to charge it after a long run when it's hot. So I normally wait 2-3 hours then charge it for like 5-6 hours...

WHAT!!! now this is crazy!

I rode my bike all this winter commuting to work in Ontario. I refused to ride it on icy and wet days because even with fenders I got soaked and salty water and lots of it all over the bike is bad. I got a pair of gloves that had warmers in them but really in -15c weather it really only take the...

I never thought about shrink tubing. That would be really cheap and inexpensive. That is actually not a bad idea. After doing some looking around I was also thinking about Plasti Dip which sprays on but is like a rubber coating on them

So I just got a nice Topeak MTX rack for my iGO electric and my Fat tire ebike so we can interchange removable baskets and lunch pails.. Really cool system. The only thing that I hate at the ugly silver bars that they give to you to attach the device. Does anyone else know of a better way to...

What do you think about them? Are the decent? What display do you run with them?
