Portable Campagnolo EPS chargers for ultra-Audax users

 I've put a video on YouTube (below) to explain, but there's a couple of essentials you'll need. Objective:  Campag USB travel chargers!

Embedded is my personal take on London Edinburgh London charging strategy and why Campag EPS riders will have some anxieties over how long your charge will last and also the essential video you'll need on the technical build part.

My take and advices as a rider:


The build advice (the video to bookmark and come back to for instructions!)


Full credit for this goes to https://www.youtube.com/@kwakeham, I followed his instructions!

For the "barebones" version, I had this:


Obviously, this is a little delicate, so I purchased a couple of little boxes to build these:


In comparison to the Campagnolo official charger, these are far smaller and USB-C compatible for common battery banks, USB outlets etc.


For references to what I purchased:

For the PCB (eBay link expired, but you get the idea); 



For the cable (eBay link has since expired):



You'll need  resistor and then a box and any additional.

For the PCB enclosure, I used these with 35x20x50 as DIMMS:


The extra flourish I added is a Garmin 1/4 turn mount to secure it when the Garmin's not on the handlebars (technically not needed, but for ensuring the charge is secure and not hanging around while charging or as a way of storing the charger with a spare Garmin mount screwed to the wall, it may help):



I hope you find this useful but full credit to Keith Wakeham for the how too tutorial.
