Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to protect against natural battery discharge and electronic drain in RVs, boats, trucks, or mobile homes, the Coleman solar 4.5-watt 12-volt deep-cycle battery charger keeps the 12-volt batteries in the vehicle charged so you can run small appliances such as fluorescent lights, GPS devices, coolers, small TVs, or laptops.

The solar charger provides an immediate trickle charge when exposed to daylight, even on cloudy day. Illuminated LEDs lets you know the panel is charging, and mounting screws are included if you choose to fix the panel near a constant sunlight source.

The charger is plug-in-play compatible for quick connections, and a cigarette lighter adaptor and a battery clamp are also included with the panel. The charger is backed by a 2-year warranty. (A charge controller is recommended when using this device to charge delicate electronics).

What's in the Box
Solar panel, 10-foot power extension cable, cigarette lighter adapter, battery clamp connector, instruction manual, and 4 mounting screws.

Customer Reviews

It keeps my battery charged up
I've had this about 2 months, and it seems to work. I leave it sitting on the dash board of my car that I only rarely drive. Because the car operates a clock and a few electric devices all the time, the battery would drain down. This keeps the battery fully-charged.

It has a long wire that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I leave it plugged in even when I'm driving (it has a diode to protect it from reverse current flow). Thus, it couldn't be easier to use.

Works perfectly
Does what it says it will do. Pleased with this solar charger. Perfect for cars and boats. The blue LED provides a notice to show the panel is working ok. Good value for money.

Coleman doesn't warranty this product!!!!
In my opinion, this is not a well made product. It is not guaranteed by Coleman even though it carries the Coleman brand. Mine broke during it's initial use and when I wrote to Coleman, they told me to contact the company in Canada that makes the product. They replied that they would not replace the unit.
