Thread: batterys

Yep solar battery chargers are the way to go.
I have probably gone through at least 5 or 6 batteries over the last 20 years due to them getting too flat from lack of use on my second vehicle.
Since i purchased a small solar panel and having it connected to my battery 24/7 i have managed to maintain 12.2v to 12.6v for the last 3 years with my vehicle sometimes not being used for up to 4 weeks at a time.
Cheap insurance at $300 to $400 per battery.
I don't have access to power for a trickle charger where the vehicle is parked, so solar is the next best option.
I think my solar panel is 15W
