Hello Hatem; it looks like the only models that can handle 350 lbs are the Adventure and TRD Off-Road. Your 2024 Toyota RAV4 LE is limited to the 150 lbs unless you can get Toyota to say otherwise, so the #B82FR will be too heavy with your bikes. The…

Portable Solar Panel for lithium battery setups
Head out dry camping and keep your lithium battery charging with a portable solar panel you can move with the sun. Choose SAE plug-and-play connections for your camper's side port and pair with a charge controller suited to 12V systems, including two 6V batteries wired in series. If your port is rated for 10 amps, picking a panel that stays under that limit keeps everything running smoothly.
Yes, if the portable panel includes an SAE cable and your port is wired to the battery. Verify your port's amp rating and choose a panel that stays within that limit. Make sure the trailer's port isn't routed through another controller since many portable panels have a built-in controller. Confirm the controller has a lithium setting before connecting your battery.
It can, when the controller allows it. Some controllers act like a diode and can be left on and charging when the vehicle battery is getting charged by the alternator. Check your controller's guidance first. If you're using a side port, confirm it goes straight to the battery and that you aren't stacking controllers.
A 100 Watt or 200 Watt setup is commonly used for keeping batteries charged off-grid. If you just want to maintain charge with little to no draw, a smaller panel can work. For running lights, a fan, water pump, and charging devices, step up in wattage. Set the controller to the correct battery type and verify your RV's solar port rating before plugging in.
Yes, a portable solar panel can charge a 12V lithium setup when the charge controller supports lithium. The included PWM controllers on many panels support 12V systems. Check the controller's battery type setting and confirm a lithium profile. If your RV has a side solar port, make sure it runs directly to the battery and not through another controller to avoid two controllers fighting each other.
