    Building Will Prowse hand cart solar generator but using eg4 6500

    The only DOWNSIDE I can think of is idle current. Bigger units usually draw more power at idle. If its shut off and she has to go turn it on and plug things into it, then this is a moot point.

    WAG...wild ass guess. Or more precise..SWAG... scientific wild ass guess. Your SCC has a battery hookup output point +,-. Connect the cig plug power cord there and plug the connector into the 12v outlet on the Anker. Make sure politary is correct on the 12v plug.

    Absolutely total WAGs 1.Get a solar generator with mppt solar input and plug in panels direct. 2. Or get a SCC with a DC output. Sunflower MPPT 30 amp 3. MAYBE get a cigarette plug and connect to the battery connections on the SCC and plug into the 12 cigarette outlet on the Anker.

It came in 50 gal drums, labeled Bonded Medical Bourbon 196 proof, Normally that grade gets the pink lady additive to make it not drinkable.

    Bluetti - Solar + alternator input into one port?

    Not for Bluetti units. BUT Ecoflow has introduced an easy install DC2DC system for their power stations. Rated charge is 800w. This may kick start other manufacturers to make the same product. https://rackupgo.com/products/ecoflow-800w-alternator-charger-for-portable-power-stations

    re powering an older e-bike

    The external battery "pack" should have a BMS in each battery. Don't bother to cobble up something using the old BMS.
