Shimano EP8RS (EP801) and phone charging options

[anonymous.dzordz]

Hi Folks!

What are the ways of phone charging from your emtb battery? I am asking specifically about Orbea Rise with Shimano EP8 RS. My bike by default does not come with any EN controller/display.

Thanks

It's messy with Shimano. You need to fit a 12V to USB adapter to your light output. Then run cables as neatly as possible.

I fitted a powerbank to the top tube using quad lock mounts instead. Really neat install. Keeps my Iphone at 100% all day with screen on max brightness. Works really well.

Thanks for response Astro.

Option with powerbanl is too bulky. Why would I use it while having emtb

12V USB adapter you mentioned - is it some shimano factory cable you route inside frame, from battery to the steering bar? You have a part number?

No it's just an adapter from an electronic store. You can get different USB fittings.

Got it. But where is the light output located? Battery?
