Lithium Ion batteries have a slightly higher voltage range and generate more heat. My suggestion is to purchase NiMH rechargeables - they are safer in a camera designed for regular AA batteries. You can purchase 4 AA NiMH 2500MAh Energizer batteries and a wall charger for $17-18 at Wal-Mart. buy it from laptop parts.

I am having the same problem with boat battery. seems like the solar panel 15v i hooked up is discharging the battery. Will now have to take the battery off the boat and get it charged and then put it back on to see if the darn charger will maintain it if we start with a full charge. only thing running on the boat is a small bilge pump.

Sounds like your teacher’s a nut. Tell her what she wants to hear to get through the class, but keep your own mind intact and stay away from the Kool-Aid.

And if the panel is permanently connected what will starting do to it, if anything? Normally a cigarette lighter socket turns off when the ignition is used.

I’m surprised no one has questioned the alternator power figures. An 85 amp alternator would be 1020 watts.

Tracey, I’m from puerto rico, I own a jeep. On weekends the jeep club gets together and we tour the island, my problem is that I like to here music and I have a very good system in my jeep. When I play my music it really drains my batteries (2 each) in the jeep. My question is? will this solar pannel keep both of my batteries charged.

I have a question I bought my solar power panel charger it has mounts for the window
do I [have to] mount it on the window why can’t I just lay it on the dash board so it will be less likely to break ?
my other question I don’t get where the alligator clips are supposed to be used the cord connected to the panel is not very long so how to get them placed on the battery under my hood?

the weather outside today is below zero I know that my battery is going to be pooped out hoping what ever advise I can get will help me hoping someone tells me something before I have to go to work tomorrow so I can manage this in a timely manner thanks

Um, if you had a solar charger hooked up to your car in your garage, how would it get sunlight to charge the battery?

I’ve just returned from a fortnight away from home. I had left one of these 12v solar chargers connected to my car battery [in situ] in the garage.

I have just gone to start the car and there is absolutely no charge in the battery at all. Completely dead! I wonder whether the terminals are marked incorrectly [positive+ and negative-]. If so, would this would drain the battery even more than the normally accepted loss?

Any experts out there to give us a bit of feedback/advice before I knacker yet another battery, please?

Get a fluke or some kind of volt meter you will see that these DO WORK and they do put out voltage, Im running some to 2 deep cycles and it charges enough to run my 70 gallon fish tank, minus the heater.

Tim, you’d have to check what kind of drain your bike has on it at rest. Either you have a greater drain than the charger put out, a defective charger, OR a battery that was on it’s way out. If the battery is dying (sulfated, damaged internally, etc) no charger will save it’s life.

Hmmm… I’ve attached a 1.5W solar panel to keep my motorbike battery charged up, and guess what? It’s run (almost) flat… !
Sunlight in the UK is pretty poor, but I’d have thought even the basic of trickles would have kept it up to notch.
I suspect the alarm drained it in the end – unfortunately no way of turning this off unless you’re a thief and know how to nick these things.
Leave it to the power companies to feed the grid with alternative energy – it’s far more efficient for them to do this on a large scale than for households to attempt to contribute by buying their own generators. Think of all the plastic (oil) waste that goes into making solar panels that don’t perform. Most household ones will take 10+ years to pay for themselves…

I am an eighth grader, and my Science teacher gave us a project that basically says we can’t use any of the fossil fuels to……I guess live. The teacher said that we had to use alternate energy sources to live our life. The sources I chose were: solar power, wind power, geothermal power, and biomass. I also had to “buy” a car that also ran on alternate energy sources; a Hybrid. I could not find any site, until I found this one, that would tell me what a solar powered charger was, how it worked, or how much it cost. So thx site for helping me get a good grade on my project!

My neighbor has come to charge his cell phone in my cigarette lighter for three days now. will this drain my car battery?
