Power in Luggage?

[avc8130]

Has anyone brought some power into their luggage to charge phones or anything else while touring?

I have been considering something like this:

Hey AC i put power in my tank bag using the powerlet kit. I bought the dual cigarette plug. I charge my phone and spare bluetooth while i'm moving. I plug my battery tender into the SAE cord when its in the garage. I have a wolfman explorer lite tankbag, just unplug the SAE before i unsnap the tankbag to fill up. So far I'm happy with it.

I've got that setup running into my right side Jesse. Really convenient. Previous owner installed it, and I thought it was a great idea.

I've got power in my tank bag. Somehow seems the right place for power for things that need power. :question:

I had power in the tank bag on my previous bike. When I get a tank bag for this it will have power also. Really good to keep things charged that need it.

Gave in and ordered a few of these:

I love my www.rka-luggage.com "InCharge" tank bag. It IS powered... and has a place for all the connectors that are needed to power my devices that I have on the dash board that is also ON the tank bag. Yes the bag is angled to fit the Super T's tank. It is a 3 point harness and works well. I have used RKA luggage for years and it is a FANTASTIC product!

I like the RKA products, this power bag looks good.
Which size fits the S10 best?

Thanks,

I realized I never updated this thread with some pics of my setup:







I used it quite successfully on my trip to the Moto GP in Austin. I wanted both 12V "cigarette" and USB and I left the wires long and the plugs loose so I can move them around as I load stuff in the box. This flexibility means they are never in the way.
