Winch power cables touching radiator

I just installed a new DV8 bumper and a Badland Apex winch on my 2024 Colorado ZR2 as you can see in the picture, the cable with the protector is barely touching the radiator, the ground cable is not touching it. Can this be a problem?

Charger 1 or Charger 2 ?

In the bluetti app both chargers are at $200 (without cable or fuse). I understand that some people have had issues with charger 2, are these issues still a peoblem? Or have the issues been resolved by software updates?

I have a Elite 100 V2 that I use for camping, mainly for a diesel heater and an electric blanket. But living in a place where fire bans happen, I will eventually start using it for cooking. This battery is good for a couple of nights, anything more than that and I would need to charge it. I currently use the 12v plug in the car to charge the battery but that only gives me about 95-110 W, that would take about 10 hours to charge a depleted battery.

I like that the Charger 2 has the ability to use solar panels while driving, I don’t own panels at the moment but it would be nice to be somewhat future proof. Also a bit faster charging if in fact it delivers 700Wh.

I like the simplicity of the Charger 1 and its compact size. 500Wh charging would be enough for my current Elite 100, but might be small in the future.

Bottom bracket for 2018 Canyon Spectral 5.0 EX

I need to replace the bottom bracket of my bike, are there any good recommendations for a replacement? Been looking at the wheels mfg, are they a good option?

I don’t really jump with my bike, rarely ride in mud but I do live in the PNW now.

Can someone please tell me their experience with using wireless gang switches for auxiliary lights in a 2024? My ZR2 comes with the one AUX in the dashboard, that is currently wired for ditch lights. Since I tinted my windows, now reversing in the dark trail has become a problem, thinking about adding some side lights.

I am looking at these 2 options

Also would welcome other wireless options. I am not a fan of having the gang switch board “permanently” installed, but its not a dealbreaker if I have to do it.

Thanks, cheers
