LOBOO C36 – 130 W Bidirectional Motorcycle Charger, Dual USB-C with Voltage Display and IP67

No. The C36 has two Type-C ports: the first delivers up to 100 W, and the second up to 30 W. There is no USB-A port.

If your cables are USB-A, you need a Type-C cable or an adapter. It’s worth checking before ordering: this is the most common reason for surprises upon delivery.

It is not a jump starter. When a PD power bank is connected to the USB-C port, the C36 draws power and recharges the motorcycle battery until it can start the engine again: this takes time and is not instantaneous like a jump-start pack. The advantage is not having to carry one on trips to remote areas.

It depends on how much power the power bank has and how depleted the battery is, and LOBOO does not publish reference times: we prefer not to make them up. The timescale is still that of charging, not an instant jump-start.

That is the purpose of the function: if you are far from everything and the battery no longer has enough power to start, a sufficiently large power bank can bring it back to a condition where it can start, given enough time. It does not replace a jump starter.

With the display on, briefly pressing the front button switches between the two modes. When the OUT indicator is lit, both Type-C ports supply power; when the IN indicator is lit, only the 100 W port accepts incoming power.

This is an important detail: in input mode, the second port does not work, so you cannot charge the battery and power a device at the same time.

With the ignition on, press and hold the button for three seconds: the SLA (lead-acid) and LiON (lithium) indicators will flash. A short press selects the type installed on your motorcycle.

This is the first thing to do during installation because it determines the charging profile. Lead-acid and lithium batteries have different charging curves, and selecting the wrong one means charging the battery incorrectly.

The package includes two mounting systems: a rearview mirror bracket, compatible with screws up to 10.5 mm in diameter, and 3M adhesive for mounting on a flat surface.

The handlebar clamp—for 22, 25, 28, or 32 mm tubes—is a separate accessory and is not included. If you want to mount it there, contact us and we’ll arrange it for you together with the charger.

Yes. The total output is 130 W: 100 W from the USB-C port, sufficient for most laptops, and 30 W from the USB-A port for a phone or drone simultaneously.

The 100 W port provides enough power for most laptops, and the supported protocols include PD3.0. However, the device negotiates the actual power output: you need a Type-C cable rated for 100 W; otherwise, the cable becomes the bottleneck.

Keep in mind that the C36 draws power from the motorcycle’s electrical system: with the engine off or idling for an extended period, drawing 100 W will drain the battery. It makes sense to use it while the engine is running, with the alternator working.

It is normal, and LOBOO itself states this: the measurement chips are different, and a difference of a few tenths of a volt between the C36 and the motorcycle’s instruments is within the tolerance range. It is not a defect and does not require service.

What matters is the trend: if the value drops below 12 V with the engine off or does not rise above 13 V with the engine running, the problem is with the battery or alternator, not the charger.

Yes: the C36 is IP67-certified, so it resists dust and water under normal outdoor driving conditions, and it is one of the few accessories in the range with a protection rating declared by the manufacturer.

Still, keep the silicone caps closed when the ports are not in use, and dry the connectors after heavy rain before connecting a cable.

That is not its function. The C36 is an onboard device connected to the motorcycle’s electrical system: it supplies USB power while you ride and reads the battery voltage. It is not a battery maintainer to be plugged into a household outlet.

The input mode does allow you to charge the motorcycle’s battery, but from a PD power bank rather than the electrical grid: it is intended for travel, not seasonal storage.
