VELO ON-BOARD POWER SUPPLY

Velo On-Board Power Supply - Renewable Energy for Cyclists Smooth Running - Lightweight - Efficient

The UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE from VELOGICAL is the pioneering system component for comprehensive on-board power supply on bicycles. For bike packers, commuters, randonneurs, cycling marathons, Brevet/Audax, and transcontinental racers.

Discover the maximum of innovative on-board power supply for bicycles in miniaturised design. The advantages of a USB charger and generator-fed LED lighting technology are combined in one device and centrally controlled - versatile, powerful, simple.

This electronic component works particularly powerful in conjunction with the VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR or a classic hub dynamo (6V/3W).

The device combination enables a power supply with single-cell battery buffering.

- for USB devices

- for LED bicycle lighting (incl. daytime running light and parking light) at full brightness.

The electronics of the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE works unusually efficient not only at low speed, but is also particularly voltage resistant at very high speeds up to 100kph. All suitable consumers connected to it are electrically protected.

The VELOGICAL UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE always operates in the optimum range regardless of speed. To this end, it uses two technologies that are new to bicycle technology.

- Maximum Power Point Tracking/MPPT

- Active rectifier for minimum power loss in the low speed range

The power of the miniaturised VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR with 3 current-carrying cables outstrips conventional AC dynamos with 2 cables and excels in extremely smooth running.

USB devices (e.g. smartphones) can be charged or recharged in realistic time with the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE. For the first time, LED bicycle lights of the dynamo type (alternating current/AC) and of the e-bike type (direct current/DC) can be connected plug & play to the electronic module via the cable connections for the respective lamp type. Coupling between the used generator type and the connected consumers is automatic.

Operating this versatile device combination is very simple. Select connection, connect, and you`re done, while the technology operates in the background. The UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE is so compact that it might be mounted even in the head tube of the bicycle. A standard in the entire automotive industry since the 1970s, 3-phase current technology has now been introduced in the bicycle sector for the first time.

The VELOGICAL 3-PHASE GENERATOR and the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE do not require a German K-number or StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulation) approval.

Cache battery based energy management

Optimal generating and storing of energy while cycling

Long bike tours offer the opportunity to store as much of the energy as possible that the powerful VELOGICAL THREE-PHASE GENERATOR can generate. As soon as the cache battery of the UNIVERSAL POWER SOURCE is filled up with its energy content of 10.7 watt hours, you can connect at the USB interface an additional power bank for charging.

"Soshine E4S" the proven power bank, can supply USB consumers while the power bank is charging at the same time.

Buying it online is easy.

Scope of delivery of the „Soshine E4S“: Power bank without battery cells, USB cable (USB standard - Micro USB), operating instructions

Two single battery cells type Li-Ion “Samsung INR 18650 29E” (or comparable) must be purchased separately.

For pre-charging please use a normal charger or power supply unit with a type B micro USB plug.

Important in case you have simultaneous need of energy for the lighting system and USB consumers

On long night drives at low speeds, it is recommendable to disconnect all consumers from the USB port, so that the full capacity of the cache battery is available only to support the lights. Therefore, disconnect all consumers from the USB port time enough before getting dark to ensure that the cahche battery is charged as full as possible.

Technical information on the cache battery

At delivery, the cache battery of the charger will be half charged on trickle charge. When the charger is put into operation (rotor rotation), it wakes up and signals 2 of 5 beeps, i. e., 1 tone per 20% charge volume. After 5 minutes, the charger switches off with 1 beep and with it the parking light of lighting. With the buffering battery empty and the light switched on, the light supply from the generator shall have priority over the charger operation.
Cache battery cell: 2850mAh/10,5Wh/3,7V

Lighting time of LED headlights

The energy content of the fully charged buffer battery of 10.7 watt hours can be used to calculate the maximum light ON time of LED headlights, based on power consumption and light output.

Further assumptions: no other consumer connected, no dynamo or generator charging the cache battery, efficiency 90%

LED headlight version for e-bikes/direct current/DC approx. 3.5-4 hours

Busch + Müller IQ XS E 6-42V 80 Lux lighting time 3.6h
