Product Reviews

Works flawlessly

First off my battery was charged a few weeks prior to installing this panel, at the time of instillation the battery read 12.23V. So I ran a week long test prior to writing this review. I’m using it to maintain the battery on my riding mower. I read all the reviews and decided to proceed with this solar panel instead of a larger one.Lets begin with the alligator clips, they are junk! The negative clip was broken upon opening, and the positive clip fell apart after a day. But, since I planned on cutting them off anyway, it did not affect my review. I’m only posting this part since some of you will be using the alligator clips as the sole means of attachment.I temporarily mounted the panel to the hood of my riding mower, so disregard the zip ties. I hooked the panel up on a sunny day and mowed the ³⁄₄ acre lawn, not massive, but not a 10 minute job either. Upon completing the mowing the battery was at 12.67V. So I parked the mower next to the deck instead of the garage hoping my days of hooking the mower to the trickle charger in the garage were gone. over the next week, we had one day of scattered clouds followed by five days of thunderstorms and overcast, not a single bit of direct sunlight during those five days. At the end of the week, the battery read 12.73V.I know some of you are thinking, half a volt is nothing. But what this proves is the fact that in one afternoon, under use the battery did not loose any power as usual. In fact it charged from 12.23-12.67. Over the next six days the charger was running at less than 25% normal sunlight and the battery still charged from 12.67-12.73. I have not disconnected the charger, since I crimped on terminal end loops and hard mounted it to my battery. This also goes to prove that there is no drainage during night or bad weather, it also proves the waterproof claim.I will post an update on the 14.4V cutoff claim once/if the battery reaches that point.I am completely satisfied with this solar panel and can now leave my riding mower outside and clean up some space in the garage. To some of you this may be a sin, but my mower has been outside for years and still holds up, I keep the rust off and maintain it regularly, just need more space in the garage.UPDATE: 11 months later this thing still keeps the charged battery from draining. It sat all winter and the mower fired right up this spring, over the past 8 winters I have had to charge the battery and continue charging it once or twice a season. Still cannot comment on the 14.4V shutoff, as the Battery maintains around 12.85V-13V. The plastic is holding up well, I would recommend adding some flowable silicone to keep moisture out. I used RTV and it discolored the plastic where I applied it on the bottom edges.

Riding Mower Maintainer

Mounted it to the back of my shed (south side) and using it to maintain a cheap wallmart riding lawn mower battery (not SLA)… Its doing the job, if it extends the battery life and starts up every spring after sitting for months then its a win.. Seems to be durable enough, should last.

Perfect

Use this small solar trickle charger on my trailer to keep the small 12V emergency brake controller battery topped off. Just caulked it to the lid of my tool box and after a few months I have checked the battery several times and it hasn’t gone down at all!

Five Stars

great for leaving on my dump trailer, i never have to charge or worry about a dean battery!

Keeps boat battery fully charged

Has kept the battery on the boat fully charged for the past 2 months. Super satisfied with performance. Has rained many times on this unit and no leaks.

12 volt waterproof solar battery charger

I love it!!!! exactly what I was looking for…………….remember………….this is a solar, trinkle charger……………not a quick 10 amp charger…………….I am very happy with my purchase.

Great for trickle charging

Works great. Trickle charge for 12 deep cycle battery used in shed for LED lighting. Great charger.

Five Stars

hope it can maintain my generator battery so when I need it, it will be ready!

Poor mounting design, cant complain about performance yet.

Poor mounting design. The tiny screws must self thread into the plastic - over 100lbs. of force on 4 milimeter screw.

Works great for riding lawnmower

I bought this because each week when I’d start my riding lawnmower, the battery (< 1 year old) was almost dead and I had to pull out my battery charger/starter.

Shorted out in first rainstorm

This charger worked very well at first, but when the first rainstorm came, it shorted out and is now useless.Why advertise it as waterproof if this is the case?
