4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if you park in the sun, July 24, 2008

This review is from: Coleman 50002 1-Watt 15-Volt Solar Panel Battery Trickle Charger (Lawn & Patio)

Bought this about 2-years ago since I have a very bad habit of leaving my parking lights on. Also figured I couldn't go wrong since I park in the hot Hawaiian sun most of the time at home and at work. Overall the unit works...it's hard to tell but since I've gotten this unit, I haven't had to use my portable jumper(I'm Sold!)...and I do notice on those long sunny days the starter spins up easier. The only issue I had with this unit is inherent to my cars design...the lighter plug on my car only works with the ignition "on". To resolve this incompatibility, I simply hard-wired the charger into the vehicle using a fused lead to the battery...problem solved. I also used a quick disconnect on the lead so I can remove the entire unit..which by the way has sat on my dashboard since I installed it. I'll consider buying a higher wattage unit later for future vehicles since they are relatively inexpensive...size being the limiting factor on the dashboard of course.

I actually tied this in to my deer feeder and never had a problem, it seems to be weather proof and everything! The price was worth a shot compared to others also.
