It does what it says and seems to work well, I will need more time with it to see if it really keeps the car’s battery charged.

Works like a charm. My car doesn’t do that weird throbbing sound whenever I start it up, as the battery is fully charged and doesn’t struggle when my car starts. Especially awesome for the winter months when batteries don’t perform well to begin with

I support renewable energy, so I looked long and hard at all the solar gadgets here on Amazon, my goal was to charge my cell phone or at least not drain my car battery in doing so. This product is durable, as it’s slid off my dashboard several times without breaking. But I have no idea if it works to charge my battery. In fact, it may be draining my battery! When I plug it into my Nissan Quest it activates the Satellite, GPS & DVD players with or without sunshine. No sun makes me think they are running off and draining the car battery. I plan to keep the panel in the car for now, but it’s already annoyed my husband. Might be nice if a car had something like this built in to keep a battery charged.

I made few measurements of voltage on vehicle battery contacts – with and without solar panel, with and without working engine, during engine start also (that is most critical). And the result is simple – there is no difference with or without the solar panel.
In addition I made measurements on panel contacts when there is no DIRECT sun light – very low energy supported, most of cases near to zero. And I’m leaving in very sunny place.
This panel probably can be used as power supply over little lamp or radio or something else like diode lights, but not for vehicle battery. And this is exactly why I bought it. So for me it was pure waist of money.

I bought this as a trickle charger for my motorcycle, and other than not being waterproof, it fits the bill perfectly. My original plan was to mount it to the handle bars, but now i keep it in saddle bag and plug it in when i get to work if needed. Good quality and accessories, just do not expect this to bring a dead battery back from the dead. May work for hyper-milers in sunny locations who remove the alternator belt.
