Product Description

Wagan Solar Car Battery Charger is the easy, maintenance-free way to keep your car battery charged and ready to use whenever you need it. If you don't regularly use your car, the battery slowly discharges to the point where the engine won't start. To prevent this situation, simply plug this item into your car's 12 volt DC cigarette lighter socket and leave the solar panel on the dashboard or where it can absorb direct light. The solar cells will automatically charge your battery even on cloudy, overcast days. LED blinks to indicate the charge and the solar panel is made of high-efficiency mono-crystalline cells embedded in transparent vinyl acetate behind tempered glass. The device is waterproof, scratch and UV resistant. This is an excellent battery maintainer that will keep the battery topped off when the vehicle is not in use. It constantly replenishes your vehicle by sending a maintenance-level charge to the battery of your vehicle and uses male alligator clips as well. Lighter adapter requires a lighter socket/power port that works with the key out of the vehicle. With the solar car battery charger, not only are you keeping your battery running efficiently, but you can do so with clean energy directly from the sun.

I use this charger on my 12 year-old VW that has developed a slow drain on the battery. The battery would die if I didn't run the car every day. The charger works, even in the winter in Maine. Some other reviewers damned the device because it didn't work for applications for which is wasn't intended. It's not a whole-house power generator. It's a trickle charger; for that purpose it works beautifully.

Amazon should change the title of this product to a trickle charger. This solar panel will not charge a dead battery, not even close. This product will keep your battery "topped off" if you are going to leave it sitting for a long time.

This product would be good for someone leaving their car at the airport during a long vacation or a spare car that sits outside all day that is driven every once in a while.

Was having trouble with my Ford F250 battery being dead after it was left sitting for a couple months. There is some slight computer draw or the like in the system that eventually runs it down. This is just whats needed to keep the battery topped off. The review is simply.... It works or did for a while! Well after a couple months it WASN'T working. Took it apart and found out a soldered wire had come apart. So I resoldered it and wallah it's been working since. So if your stops working take it apart...and see if everything is hooked up before you trash it. If you find nothing to fix ...get out the hammer and beat the crap out of it...!!
