@TailsFurse 5 лет назад

Do note, this only works on some cars. If when you pull the keys out of your ignition, the cig lighter socket turns off too, then this solar charger won't do anything for ya, because the load is disconnected from the battery. This usually works on older cars, not so much the new ones. Just a heads up for anyone wanting one!

@davidrigby6521 5 лет назад

I have a solar charger similar to this one fitted in a car I use occasionally, just to keep the battery topped up. I bought one that had an OBD adaptor plug as well as the old cigarette plug. The OBD socket in cars has a permanent direct feed to the battery so can charge with keys in or out with car locked. The charger works great during the summer months but there is not enough sunshine during Nov to March so I must connect a mains trickle charger which again I plug into the OBD socket for convenience.

@rumar4u 5 лет назад

All cars are different and probably if the dc socket of the car turns off power, it might be also a diode, preventing discharge but allowing it to charge. Also you can connect a small cable directly to the battery from the inside. It's very easy

@rwind656 5 лет назад

We installed a solar trickle charger on our old truck years ago. We don't drive it that often. I think the solar charger was originally from Harbor Freight but they don't have them anymore. Recently, the 12v plug went bad -- replaced that and it's still working. Before the solar panel, the battery usually did not last thru the winters. We have not replaced that truck battery since buying the solar panel, works like a charm. The suction cups on this one are a nice addition! Ours just sits in the dash when in use. We unplug it to drive the truck. The truck is always ready to go. Scotty, two questions: Do you have unplug it before driving? And I wonder if it would work plugged into the bottom side of a moon roof? ( Seems it would be more out of sight there if you were parking at an airport -- I'd be concerned about something breaking a window to steal it if they see it in the dash.)

For a while the US Army used solar battery chargers similar to this one to keep their batteries charged. The ones _they_ used, however, were garbage and created more problems than they solved, so they got rid of them. But just the other day I worked on a HMMWV that had a solar charger on it, it was a bit larger and had a diode placed in the wiring to keep the solar charger from discharging the battery at night. I tested it and it worked pretty well.

@stevemichelle1203 5 лет назад

Love the informative videos Scotty. Solar charger is DC voltage and works well with a DC cigarette lighter outlet right to the battery. A trickle charger at about 1.2 amps is all you need to keep a healthy car battery topped off. I have a solar power system and I know it’s strengths and weaknesses. Make sure the car is in parked in a sunny location unshaded. Make sure your car battery is not already weak and has a possible damaged cell. I use a trickle charger to keep my solar battery bank topped off

@daverossy 5 лет назад

Scotty on the amperage check I think you’ve got it set to the wrong setting, it’s reading micro amps as denoted by the micro symbol in the middle of the A and numeric readout, it’s also set to AC amps not DC so your values will be different as the calculations for different current types vary. You should be easily able to get a couple hundred milliamps from that panel but 0.4 microamps means it’s probably not even connected in the right socket and is just picking up very small electrical interference.

@daverossy 5 лет назад

Audio fair enough but .74 Amps is 740mA, on scottys video it’s reading at microamps so even if he had 1 microamps (of which his was reading around 1 with sun) that would be equal to 0.001 mA which is a magnitude less than the above that others have seen and far less than I would expect, that low of a current wouldn’t light an LED, which I why I believe he has his testing equipment set up incorrectly.

slow trickle chargers have always existed for keeping lead acid batteries alive in storage, very common with bikes in the winter, they are the cheapest charger, can be found anywhere such things are sold, the solar ones have been out for a long time as said, was just logical, but use case is very limited.

@sedsberg77 5 лет назад

My guess is that it will charge a couple of hundred milliamps, perhaps half an amp, under sunlight. Not much, but it can keep your battery topped up when parked for a long time. And yes, Scotty had the meter set to AC amps instead of DC so he was actually measuring zero amps. (1.3 microamps is basically zero)

@MrPir84free 2 года назад

That's the problem with a $450 multimeter; it's only needs know AC/DC when it's checking voltage; but when measuring amps, it measures amps regardless- it does both AC and DC using the same setting on the dial. He should have used the ma/A setting - but the graphic beside it shows both AC and DC symbology .. You are however correct, I believe, on the reading itself. You can give a full battery any voltage above full that you want - it's simply not going to be pushing amps thru the circuit. Had he turned on the lights or blower, it might have shown a respectable reading- but he should have had the dial turned one up to the mA/A setting. As far as these solar panels working, I've had panels that were physically less than 1/2 the size, sitting in shade, that would keep the batteries topped off.

For cars that shut off the 12 volt sockets when the key is removed alligator clips are included so you can hook the solar panel directly to the battery.

@ericdolby1622 5 лет назад

I have a three 60mm fan unit which sits in my window powered from the battery, it is actually effective, but it's high air flow and I bet way more powerful than the solar powered ones, so you're probably right!!

This would be terrific for our lawn mower. Our classic car are garaged and on trickle chargers. I do appreciate the information.

Can you drive with it on the windshield?

@ronvalley1973 5 лет назад

no, u get ticket

@geo112994 5 лет назад

UpperRobin29 if you are driving the alternator charges the battery. If you just dont want to take it off put it flat on the dash it should still work, just make sure you secure it with something so it doesnt fly off (velcro might help)

These things are a game changer for RV and boats. I have an extra vehicle that sits for extended time so pick me 😎

Yeah, but are your legs tucked under the desk and hands folded on top of the desk?

Scotty will you be my grandpa? I’ve never met mine and I’d love to have a car enthusiast as one 🤣

I guess that won’t work unless your cigarette lighter always has power to it.

That's a very good question. What if the power port automatically gets shut off when the ignition is off?

@wizardwithsmg4753 5 лет назад

I don't think they'd work. You might have to hardwire a new socket somewhere. Would be interesting to see if you could have one of these run your fans to keep the car cooler during a hot day.

I actually installed a cig lighter and wasn't sure if to wire it as always on or not. then I got a solar charger like the one Scotty reviewed and then I had to rewire it. it's not hard.
