The Sunforce Trickle Charger provides an ideal way to maintain and charge 12-volt batteries for your car, boat and SUV. This solar power system is weatherproof, meaning you can leave it outside charging even in the rain. It also offers overcharge protection, pre-drilled holes for installation and battery clamps.

The solar power kit is a small square that weighs about 3 pounds. It has a height of 17 inches and a width of around 13 inches. This means that you can install it right on your dashboard or put it on the roof of your boat. The portable solar generator comes with four stainless steel screws. You can connect the power with either alligator clips or the 12-volt lighter socket. You can even use an external attachment and use the lighter socket to charge your cellphone or other electronic devices.

The Solar Batter Trickle Charger has amorphous solar panels, so they don’t store power like other portable solar power systems. Instead, they convert sunlight into an electric current that is constantly flowing. It’s designed to maintain an existing battery charge and not to fully recharge the battery. So, instead of draining the car or boat battery while you are running lights or charging other devices, the trickle charger helps maintain a full charge and provides you peace of mind.

This isn’t the best solar power system for charging your electronics. It isn’t meant to work alone and requires a connection to your battery to really get a benefit from the device. The good news is that there aren’t a lot of connections to worry about or storage devices to connect to the Sunforce Trickle Charger. Once it’s installed and attached to the battery, it will not adversely affect its operation. You should still remove it and store it when the vehicle is in motion.

The Sunforce Solar Battery has a specific application. You can use it with a vehicle that has its own battery and maintain the charge on that battery. It’s not like other portable devices that you can place in your backpack or keep around the house. Overall, this is a good portable solar option for those who take their vehicles to the outdoors.
