is there a way of charging a 16 amp lithium battery for an electric bicycle?

There is. But you also need to buy an adapter to convert the ac power from the generator to dc power to be able to charge your battery and other devices.

Not unless you want to. You can charge this battery by plugging it into an outlet.

My riding toy came with a charger that you plug your battery into and then plug it into an electrical socket. I do it overnight because it takes awhile to get a full charge.

Yes, you can. But you need to be aware of problems that may arise from overcharging your car battery. This is designed more for short term charging where you won't leave the panel/kit connected for more than 24 hours. Ideally one should not charge a battery for more than 12 hours. It is safe for a 10 amp charge for that time frame on vehicle batteries. Smaller batteries like atv or motorcycle batteries should get 2 amp for 1-2 hours. Make sure your water levels are up before charging. Also, if you are storing a battery for extended periods of time, charge it every 3 months. Once the charge is less than 12.6 on a 12 volt battery, they start to degrade. This reduces the life of the battery as well as the true cranking power. The safest bet for long-term charging is to use a charge controller which will monitor the voltage of the battery and maintain the proper levels. Something like this would work great: http://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Controller-12-Volt-Battery-Monitor/dp/B000P696QS

I used the ISI charger but I would think any brand would work, perhaps a bicycle tire inflater

that's an interesting use of the solar panel. since this charger has a 12 volt input. the input voltage is not critical and the current requirements are small so this should work .. be careful about polarity and be aware of some safety precautions. lithium batteries have complicated and critical charging requirements. however these are taken care of by the chargers internal circuits .. don't try to charge the battery without those safety features. lithium batteries should not get hot at this charge rate. you might want to watch carefully for a while to be on the safe side ... you might want to check the solar panel output voltage to make sure it is at least 8 volts and doesn't exceed 16 volts. while this technically should work you should consider it an experiment until someone has actually tried it

It doesn't matter that much, lithium ion batteries always have a controller, anything else would be dangerous, it shouldn't be more than an hour or a few more, in any case theres no risk of damaging it from "overcharging".

YES, I use a one cell battery case for my size battery and wire it direct to the charger output terminals. Get separate charger and case for each lithium battery size you use.

Any 12-volt deep cycle will do but don't get one of those skinny ones. The ones you want are roughly the size of a car battery. I'll try to check the brand of mine and update this, it's worked for 4-5 weekends a year for almost 10 years now

on top of the batteries there is what looks like a flip up handle - if you flip it up you will see the inlet for the plug, you just plug in the charger and align the pins and plug it in. When fully charged do the other battery.. I bought a second charger so I can charge both at once. But I don't think I would invest that much again. I have a broken bike in my garage. Have had to replace the back rim which is not cheap and the new rim broke within a few weeks -- if you can sell it do so - they are not built with strong enough back rim and spokes

Yeah, but with only a 6 amp charge rate, it might take a while. The charger does work well, though. I use it for my 27 series cranking battery in my boat, which I never run all the way down. The two deep cycle batteries that run my trolling motor use a charger that has 15 amps per bank.

Not made for that. 12v only. I use mine on my cycles to power, and or charge GPS units mainly.

I suppose you could but when charging Lipo batteries I wouldn't do that. Charging Lipo batteries safety is always a concern, unless you plan on being there during the entire charging process I wouldn't charge the batteries this way.

It should with Batteries as well but my bike would only work with Ac adapter

Powered by Re-chargeable 9.6V Ni-CD battery. Don't know the amps. The ones we got discharge quickly and take a long time to charge. Lipo batteries would be better.

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

Absolutely not!!! the size may be similar to AA but this thing will only charge to about 1.45 volts. Lithum batteries like the 19650 are dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. If you have ever seen a lithium battery on fire (due to an radio control plane or heli crash or a heli crash) you will not fool around with a cheap charger for them. I don't know where that dude came off giving you bad advice.
