4.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A MISPRINT !! ACTUALLY MORE WATTS, July 17, 2008

This review is from: Coleman 72002 CL-600 9-Watt 17 - 24 Volt Solar Panel Battery Charger / Maintainer (Lawn & Patio)

This Coleman unit is rated at 600ma and a total power of 9 Watts. Buyers will be pleasantly surprised. The fair price for weatherproof solar panels is $10/watt...so this one qualifies although has been discontinued. My lack of a full five stars is because Coleman seems to overrate their panels by about 20%...or else they take it down to the equator to measure the power.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solar Panel, April 18, 2007

This review is from: Coleman 72002 CL-600 9-Watt 17 - 24 Volt Solar Panel Battery Charger / Maintainer (Lawn & Patio)

The unit is more or less what I expected and appears to be working well for my application as a trickle charger for my deep-cycle marine battery operating an ornamental iorn entry gate. This unit DOES NOT work with the Sunsei Solar Grip bracket which is listed as working with the Coleman Solar Panels (both are ICP Solar products); the bracket extexsions are not long enough. I was able to frabricate a simple clamp for the panel which did work with the bracket however.

This review is from: Coleman 72002 CL-600 9-Watt 17 - 24 Volt Solar Panel Battery Charger / Maintainer (Lawn & Patio)

I ordered one Coleman panel to see how good it was. I am a long time Coleman collector and this fits just right! Brand power at its best! I have had it about 2 weeks and have it connected to my campers battery. The camper has a stereo system which requires a "hot" lead to maintain memory so this creates a drain on the battery. After this panel, no more worries about the drain! This panel in full sun is putting out 22.65volts and drops to 17.3 on a cloudy day, even when it was raining!I ordered two more and expect them to arrive tomorrow. I will build a frame to attach the panels to and hook all of them to my battery bank (3 D/C NG27). I expect to be able to use them for a generator (less) week of camping next month! If it fails then expect me to update this review! I think ICP could have had a better way of connecting multiple panels though. Coleman dosen't supply the gang plug, so I have to cut the plug ends off and hardwire them together. Not too much of an issue though.
