I bought this because my car has a GPS device to record where I go. The device is on all the time. When it is cold my battery would be dead on Monday morning from no driving during the weekend. This did not solve my problem. I do not fault the product.

I have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, the factory outlets are off when the ignition is off. I have added my own outlets that are always on, like most American branded vehicles. I installed this device into my 12v outlet, left my FJ for 5 days (as usual) and it completely drained my new battery. The battery was so depleted that the dome lights and the power locks did not work; this battery was only 1 month old and working great. I don’t know if this was a defective unit or an issue with my vehicle, the manufacture did not return my voice mail, nor did they answer the phone. I have returned this product and currently waiting for my refund from Amazon.

This solar panel is fun to play with, but you will soon find it doesn’t supply enough power to be very useful.
It’s probably adequate to charge small batteries or run small motors or electronics, but not enough to keep a car sized 12v battery charged.
I think its intended to be left in a stationary vehicle that starts out with a charged battery, and it simply compensate for the natural battery voltage loss over time.
If you are thinking of using a battery every day and charging it back to full power with the solar panel, you’ll need to get a bigger one.

The product itself is great. I own several. They used to work wonderfully, but my newer cars disconnect the lighter socket when they are not running. Therefore, the charger doesn’t do anything. Yes, I could get the lighter socket rewired. The thing I loved about this was how easy it was. Taking my car in to be rewired to use it is not what I consider easy.
Great Product. Lousy new cars.
