Use at your own risk. I am not responsible if you break your Onewheel, injure yourself, someone else, or burn your house down.

You have to choose what’s most important to you. Every option has tradeoffs on price, weight, capacity, and safety.

Option	Pros	Cons
Car inverter	Lots of options on the market Don’t have to carry anything while riding Safe	Must be at your car to charge Need to make sure it can handle 300W load
AC battery pack (e.g. Chafon)	Most common solution Safe Includes multiple USB ports and outlets	Heavy (10lbs w/ battery and charger) You must carry charger too AC->DC is inefficient from energy perspective Expensive ($300+) Battery capacity readings are wildly inaccurate
DC battery pack (e.g. solar charger)	Lightest solution Most energy efficient (DC->DC) Lots of battery choices	Most technical. Requires soldering. Safety is dependent on batteries used

The idea is to use an AC battery pack with the standard Onewheel charger.

Option	Pros	Cons
Chafon CF-UPS008	$290 for 2 charges (288Wh) Most common option in community	Modified sine wave 7lbs
igoeshopping $311 for 2 charges (288Wh)	Pure sine wave	7lbs
AMSU $300 for 2.5 charges (330Wh)	Pure sine wave	7lbs
