Product Description
As we all know, batteries naturally drain power and if allowed to go flat, may never regain their full power. This product is a solar powered battery maintainer and charger for 12V batteries and helps manage battery drain in all season. The solar charger converts light energy from the sun into 12 volt DC electricity which is then transported to the rechargeable batteries through lead wire and connector of choice. It can be used for cars, 4WD’s, trucks, motorcycle, marine, boats, farm equipment or any application where a 12v battery is used.
The high efficient solar panel allows to absorb a wider spectrum of the sun light, as long as there is sufficient sunlight available, the charger will generate an electrical current to trickle charge battery. The charger will not damage or over charge your battery, similarly, a blocking reverse diode ensures the charger can’t drain your battery. Please note the charger is designed to top-up battery charger as a result of natural drainage instead of continuous and quick charging .
Plug & Play
The one way SAE plug allows to easily install, really plug and play
- Temperature, Sunlight, Atmosphere are the main factors affect the performance of solar panel
- All solar panels are tested under international stander test condition(STC): 25℃, 1000W/㎡, AM1.5
- No shadow on solar panel

I'm adding to the chorus of one star ratings as this product overcharged and destroyed my brand new battery in two days, despite the advertised claim that "Fully protect the battery! The solar charger will not damage or over charge your battery, similarly, built-in blocking diode prevents reverse discharge, make sure no drain of your battery." Before writing this Amazon review, I went on their website and contacted them directly, but after a week still no response that I'm aware of (I checked spam and other folders).

I only drive my 1 ton diesel occasionally. After the dual batteries start to get long in the tooth starting the truck after sitting for a month or two can be dicey. Since I started using new batteries and this solar charger I have had zero slow or no starts. Batteries last longer when you don't let them drain down as well. A pair of boss-hog sized truck batteries will set you back $500.00. I'd prefer not to purchase them any sooner than I have to.

This is a nice big solar charger. Comes with several battery connections. Good quality well built. It has 4 suction cups to mount it with. I used silicone under the suction cups to hold it down on my tool box lid.I have been using this for 6 months now and my battery is holding 12.6 charge. The price is very good. Well built very strong it holds up to hail, at least the hail we got at our house. I'm empressed.

This is for the 6W panel. Build appears to be solid. When exposed to sun it produces about 18volts DC open circuit (with no load... ie not plugged in to the battery). I had no idea if it was actually generating any charge since the voltage would drop to the battery voltage when connected. So, I bought a charge controller and found that with the panel inside the vehicle, mounted to the underside of my truck's sunroof, the tint on the sunroof prevented any measureable current flow to the battery. If I opened up the sunroof at mid-day, it generated between 200 and 300 milliamps. That's an itty bitty trickle of a charge. I have plug in battery maintainers that generate 1000ma (1 amp) and 1500 milliamp. My truck sits a lot so I'm thinking this will keep my battery topped up. Time will tell, but if it works I won't have to take up the limited space in my driveway so I can run a charge cable out from the garage. I would rather leave my truck parked out in front of the house on the street so my driveway is free for our other cars, washing cars, friends coming over, etc.Sept 22:This has been installed now for the last 4 months and every time I check the battery it is fully charged. The engine turns over nice and fast. I do like using this in combination with the charge controller. Look up "Intelligent 10A MPPT Solar Charge Controller" that I bought here on Amazon. It just let's me check whenever I want that the panel is still working and provides another level of battery protection if the panel electronics decide to short out some day.

Works as described, my car has a power drain for a number of reasons that I am not planning to correct. Not an issue when it is being driven often but if it sits for more than a week I am greeted with a dead battery.This allows my car to sit with the active alarm on and my dash cam running for 2 weeks and car will start right up.My car also has power outlets that are active when the car is off so I am utilizing that so no Cords need to be run outside the vehicle, everything is addressed in the cabin.This is great for maintaining the battery, not as good for charging a low battery as I have still needed to use a jump pack when it was already low and sat for too long.Love this, and would recommend.

I have a truck that I don't drive too often. I have probably put 4000 miles on it in the past five years. I can't plug it into a trickle charger so I got this since I had gone through three batteries in those five years. They would lose their charge completely and would no longer hold a charge. I've had this for a little over 6 months and it has done a great job. Now, my truck starts up every time I go to start it and the voltmeter in my truck shows the battery is at full charge each time I go to start it. This does a great job at maintaining the battery. Even though the instructions say not to start the car when plugged in, my son and I have both done so with no problems. You do need to have a "live" charging/cigarette lighter plug if you don't want to hook it up to your battery. This is what I have done and it has worked great. I set it so it gets sunlight the majority of the day and it has worked great. Good investment since it will keep my battery charged so I won't be buying a new battery every few years.

So far seems to work well. I have 2 different brands, one on a truck with an older battery and one on a tractor with a new battery. This brand is on the new battery. Both are close in wattage, 8 and 7.5. Both have a high voltage for charging, around 20 volts. The more power you put into a battery the more likely you are to need to regulate it. A trickle charge usually does not need it. Charge voltage is normally around 14.1 to 14.7 for a 12V battery. A trickle maintenance should be around 13.65 V to maintain.The voltage on the new battery was high around 15 volts. It declined as soon as I took the charger off but it is higher than the charger on the older battery, around 12.65 volts. The older battery gets more direct sunlight as well. It could be one is dirtier, or there is a power leak in the truck but most likely just the difference in age of battery rather than the brand of charger as I measured both amp outputs, but if you have a new battery you should use some caution about leaving the charger on. As the battery ages and resistances go up it could likely be left on as I am doing with the truck.Another option is to get a lower wattage charger. I'm in Texas so sun is strong and plentiful. I checked the voltage in the winter on a slightly overcast day. Bigger is not always better.Check the voltage on the battery occasionally and if it is over 14 volts I would unplug the charger for awhile.
