This baby charges up the 8 volt battery in my 1949 international tractor
parked out in the orchard quite well. I even ran over it with an empty trailer, and left it out in the rain! I can use large metal spring clamps to hang it anywhere to catch the afternoon sun. Haven't tried it camping yet.

I often go Gold & Gemstone hunting and use quite a bit of 12volt equipment, including a forgotten 12v cooler plugged into the dash. Upon leaving the car for a day to prospect a small stream, the cooler drained our battery dead. We returned with only about 2 hours of daylight left, found the battery dead and I immediately removed the charger from my backpack and began charging the battery with direct sunlight. As the sun was setting we "tried it" and there was just enough charge to start us up and we drove the 12 miles out of the forest instead of having to walk it out for help.
Not only does the product work, but it has changed the way I think about solar energy. Needless to say, since it saved us that day in the forest, I am rating this product with 5 stars.

I bought one of these about three years ago. I put it on the dashboard of my pickup to keep the battery charged, as the truck did a lot of sitting in the driveway. It worked fine for at least a year. Actually I don't know how long it worked. One day, just on a lark, I put a multimeter on it to see if it was still working, and found that it wasn't putting out 12 volts. After almost two years since I bought it, I sent it back to Sunforce (in Canada) and they sent me a brand new one! I've since had the new one installed in the truck for over a year. Just checked it yesterday and it's still cranking out the volts. I have it wired directly to the battery, as my Toyota pickup cigar lighter outlet isn't active unless the ignition is on.

I am buying another one for backpacking to run a AA battery charger and keep GPS battery charged. Because it's so lightweight, it should be very good for this purpose.

Nice of them to send me another one after nearly two years!
When I got the first one I checked to see if it would run a small AM/FM/SW radio without batteries. It did, with no problems.
Good buy.
