It’s a simple solar panel with not personality. Just a rectangular charger.
Nearly 150 Dolllar for me is too high in respect to the panel’s performances
- Press the sun-shaped button. The LED will light up when the panel receives sufficient daylight to produce power.
- Position the solar panel where you would like it to be permanently installed. Angle the panel in such a way that it will be perpendicular to the strong midday sun (straight up in most cases), between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- Insert the center legs at the bottom of each aluminum frame.
- Insert each mounting screw and tighten carefully. Do not over-tighten. First, connect the GREY plug of the 10-foot extension cable to the connector of the solar panel. Then connect the charge controller (not included) to your battery.
- Connect the cable of your choice to the battery. Finally, connect the other end of this cable with the BLACK plug of the extension cable.
Naturally it does not replace what an electric battery charger can do and in the same amount of time, but as a trickle charger for car and boat batteries this is all you need (other than some sunshine).
It is 39.4-by-13.8-by-1.2 inches in size and weighs 9.5 pounds
Its “Plug-n-Play” feature allows connection of multiple panels in seconds without tools or rewiring. The solar panel comes with 1 multi-purpose adapter set, which includes a cigarette lighter adapter, a female cigarette lighter adapter, a battery clamp, a terminal ring connector, and a wire connector.
Accessories: This solar panel requires a charge controller (sold separately). Suggested: The Sunsei SE-CC10000 10 Amp Solar Charge Controller
