Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
The BatterySAVER SE 6W slowly charges larger 12V deep-cycle batteries, protecting them through long storage periods: dead batteries are a thing of the past!

Customer Reviews

Blue LED Switch Non-Functional...
Sorry to be the naysayer for this product, but the neat 'sunray' switch with the blue LED that indicates charging froze solid after four months. I have had several ICP solar panels and the LEDs always seem to give up early - it's very annoying.

Apart from that, it's the best quality product that I've EVER seen that's Made in China...

Quality product
I looked at a lot of solar panels to keep the 12v gel battery charged on my sailboat. The ICP SE6 is well made & has been excellent. It's not strong enough to over-charge a gel cell, but keeps it topped up nicely. I fix it to a cockpit seat with a bungee cord, and stow it when sailing.

It comes with multiple wires: a 10' extension cord, battery ring connectors, alligator clips, bare wire connector, male & female cigarette lighter plugs, & connector for another panel. All have O-ring seals and the panel has been weatherproof so far. It works on cloudy days and does not discharge the battery at night. Amazon has the best price.

Solar Battery Saver
The SE6 has done a terrific job of "topping-up" my trolling motor marine battery. I have even used it while doing recreational boating and then the battery is ready for use when I want to fish. Directions were easy to follow and the unit was easily installed on a portable fixture so I can remove it whenever I want.
