Car charger on a bike

[Ntjordan]

Ok, I hope this is the right place for this, if not I don't mind it being moved.

I plan on taking a motorcycle trip in June and have been pondering what I can do to keep my PV going while on the road. It is easy enough to install a plug for a car charger on the bike, but I am not sure that is a good idea. I can't find any chargers that have a cord, which makes sense for a car, but leaving it that exposed on the bike seems like it could do some damage. Anything open to air will of course take a pretty good beating. Bugs, wind, rain anything in between. I would like to find one that has a cord so I could plug it in and then put the charger with the battery in my tank bag.

Any ideas? Should I just try it and hope for the best? My other idea is to buy an eGo or Tornado so I can just charge the battery when I get to a hotel and hope it lasts the day. Maybe the way to go, and it's not like I don't want one anyway.

You didn't say what PV you use...

I started out with a 510 - using a PCC to keep a battery charged, then charging the PCC in the hotel. But the 510 battery still only lasts me a couple of hours or so (I switched batteries at every gas stop).

I invested in a Bartleby. That's the best vaping on a bike! It stays charged ALL day!

Oops, sorry. 510 is what I am using. I will go check into a Bartleby, thinking just shooting for longer battery life is the way to go. Wouldn't mind that in the day to day anyway.
