A really good little solar charger to keep a car , caravan or boat battery topped up. It comes with 4 suction cups on fabric flaps that can be used to fix it on top of a dashboard or to a window, windscreen or other smooth hard surface. An elasticated strap means that t could also be attached to the rear side of a car sun visor, although the panel may be a bit wide to do so without obscuring forward vision. Alternatively the suction cups could be replaced with screws to more permanently fix the panel in place. Although I like it (enough to buy a second one) there are a couple of downsides, which is why I have only rated it 4 stars. Firstly it has a, reasonably robust, fabric surround but I don't know how well this would survive if exposed to the weather or, indeed, whether the panel would be properly waterproof so I would suggest it needs to be protected from possible moisture ingress, which may be tricky on a boat. The stitching of the cover may possibly degrade with long exposure to sunlight, which is kind of inevitable given that it is a solar panel. The supplied cable (which comes with both crocodile clips and a 12volt plug) is a bit on the short side at around 6 foot total if you need to use the crocodile clips to attach to a battery under the car bonnet unless you can find a route through the bulkhead. I would also recommend inserting an inline fuse holder on the positive crocodile clip wire to prevent any short circuit problems should the cable insulation be damaged by chafe where it passes through a bulkhead or under the edge of a vehicle bonnet - see photo where i have done so. Those things aside this is one of the better "plug n play" solar chargers I have come across.Read full review

Rubbish will not give out any thing like the advertised wattage. Very flimsy should last all day ( if you don't use it) if your lucky

This item is a 5 Star Item because it does what it states,"But", It is NOT a battery charger alone,you have to buy a 12v 3amp Control Battery Regulator to be installed with this Solar Panel,and place an in line fuse holder of 3amps fuse on the battery positive wire,the red light when on should put a small charge into the battery.This red light will go off at night. Load = Green light is a power light and stays on all the time when in use with the battery connected. The load wires in my opinion should have also an on line fuse holder fitted for safety just another 3 amp fuse. NOT A WATERPROOF ITEM,good luck.

Great item and works very well, although the cigarette lighter in my car is a just a charger only so I couldn’t just plug it in there. Be careful. I’ve had to re wore it into the battery. Very easy to do. Works like a charm.

TRIED on a 4x4 to keep battery level up only is just not powerful enough perhaps it work in hotter country which defeats the object as in hotter countries no problem of dampness not start battery drained etc as that problems stamps from wet cold condition at specially with UK UNPREDICTABLE WEATHER it hardly get sunshine to boost anything
