I’m interested as well.
I would love to have an onboard charger or a carry-along charger for my EXR.
For trail riding and most typical uses it is not needed, so I understand that most people would not want the extra weight and ALTA designed the EX/EXR accordingly. However for true dual-sport riding or commuting it would be great to be able to ride somewhere, stop for lunch or work, recharge from a 110v outlet, and then ride further or get back home. Right now I can't safely get more than 25 miles from home without putting the bike on a trailer.
Speaking of such things, can anyone tell me how heavy and how large the "Normal Charger" is? I have the Rapid Charger. It is 25 pounds and way too big (18"x14"x8") to consider carrying on the bike.

You could attach the rapid charger' Pelican case at a luggage top case onto the rear fender, like on touring bikes. Or buy a second identical Pelican case and mount then both on the sides, lile panniers.
Exactly. I ordered some heavy duty Velcro from Amazon last night so that I can attach the Rapid Charger to my rear fender. Problem solved.
Realistically, if I could get something close to ten pounds and smaller than a loaf of bread including the cords I would be willing to carry that in my daypack.
Interesting. Was is the same Rapid charger just without a case? I didn't know they existed without a case. Yes, without a case and with shorter cables the rapid charger should be pretty small.When i bought my EXR rapid charger, for whatever reason my dealer offered me a charger with or without a case. I didnt pay much attention to it out of the case, but i recall it being significantly smaller without the plastic case.
