Solar Battery Charger is great for maintaining 12 volt batteries in just about any mobile application. The solar panel charger connects to your vehicle's 12 volt battery by either the lighter socket plug or the battery terminal clamps.
Using the included 12 volt dc plug, the solar panel can be plugged directly into the cigarette lighter socket. Using the included battery terminal clips, the solar panel can be attached directly to your 12 volt battery.
Extremely Versatile & Compact.
Charges even under the weather.
These solar chargers use amorphous technology, meaning that the cells charge in artificial light and cloudy weather. Great for use in predominantly rainy regions, BLSOLAR2 & BLSOLAR5 also keeps your boat battery fully charged in coastal stormy weather.
This Solar Battery Charger is available in two sizes. We have the 2.5Watt 180mA charger and the larger 5Watt 410mA charger. mA are milliamps which are one thousandths of an amp. So, 180mA is 0.18Amps and 410mA is 0.41Amps of 12 volt power. This is not enough power for running appliances directly, but great for charging and maintaining your battery!
Special Requirements for Lighter Socket Charging
In some vehicles the cigarette lighter does not work when the ignition is turned to the off position. In order for the solar charger to maintain your vehicle battery the lighter socket must remain active when the key is off. Some vehicles come with or have had installed a
12 volt accessory outlet. Most of these have power whether the key is on or off.
