The photo below shows the bike generator hooked up to a blender being ridden by Bill Nye the Science Guy at a Planet Green / Discovery Channel event. 16 of these bicycle generators were also on the Ellen Degeneres Show.
Easily store your bike energy and then provide power to any of these items up to 700W NTL = No Time Limit which means you would be able to pedal indefinitely without getting tired. The calculations below assume durations based on you running off of the deep cycle battery when the battery starts fully charged 100% SOC down to 50% SOC. This means you are only going to use half of the battery's storage capacity. The reason for this is because only using 50% of the battery's capacity will optimize the life of your battery.
* Calculations done using a minimum of 50 Watts and a maximum of 120 Watts human pedal rate output.
CHARGE TIME If your deep cycle battery is 50% charged, and you pedal with nothing hooked up to it, then it would take approx. 3 to 5 hours to charge it depending on how you adjust the charge current with a knob.
BATTERY DURATION - How long it will the 33Amp Hour U-Gen system provide power assuming you are not pedaling your bike generator.
