I have been researching, debating, shopping, reading reviews for a very long time and felt like I found what I was looking for in this 10W charger so I purchased a few months ago.
I buy and sell a few cars as a hobby and in some cases the car sits a very long time before I get around to selling. I do use pug in battery maintainers on motorcycles and cars in a garage that are close to AC power but I needed a good solar charger as I have a few cars in my back yard that I try and start and run but during winter months I forget, This 10w version is perfect. I check the cigarette lighter, 12v outlet in my car / suv to make sure the inside 12v outlet does not turn off with key ( Use a cell phone charger with led light to check yours ) but I prefer to use the inside the car plug simply so the unit does not sit in the rain, as I understand it has no issue with rain but I siply keep it in the front window and it works fine.
The #1 thing I needed with a charger is that it had to have the built in maintainer "smart" electronics as I did not want to overcharge my battery. Looks like many other small solar charges does not have that smart box but this unit does! I was surprised to the build quality as it looks and feel better that I was expecting. I have an older SUV that the battery was getting old and weak and failed to start. I did charge the old battery with a plug in charger but I then connected this solar charger and the car sat but this unit kept the battery charged, The 10w version I find perfect for keeping car batteries ready to crank!
Happy With the product!

About this item
【Latest Upgraded Smart Controller】 The SUNAPEX 2024 smart charging controller features an integrated charging microprocessor and upgraded charging algorithms. It boosts charging efficiency by 20%-30% compared to other controllers. With multiple protective functions, it prevents overcharging, overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, short circuits, and offers reverse polarity protection. Efficiently charge and maintain your batteries without any safety concerns.
【Visual Charging Indicators】 The controller has three colored LEDs: blue, red, and green. These indicators provide clear visibility of the charging status: When sunlight reaches the solar panel, the blue light illuminates. Once the solar panel system is connected to the battery, the red light turns on. When the battery is fully charged, the green light indicates completion. The controller automatically stops charging when the battery is full and resumes charging and maintenance when the voltage drops within the rechargeable range.
【High-Efficiency Monocrystalline Solar Cells】This solar battery charger uses the highest conversion efficiency monocrystalline solar panel cells, this system achieves an impressive 25%-30% conversion efficiency. Compared to traditional polycrystalline and amorphous solar panels, it charges faster and more efficiently.
【Tough ETFE and Weatherproof】ETFE, known for its exceptional toughness, is used on the surface of this solar battery maintainer. It boasts a 95% light transmittance and remarkable weather resistance. Whether exposed to sunlight or rainwater, these panels remain stable and maintain their efficiency over time. The entire solar panel is sealed to be waterproof, windproof, and sandproof. It can withstand various outdoor conditions, including rain, snow, hail, thunderstorms, sandstorms, and high temperatures.
【Wide Compatibility】This solar trickle charger can charge most popular 12V rechargeable batteries, including sealed lead-acid, lithium, LiFePO4, gel, AGM, and more. It’s suitable for charging batteries in trailers, tractors, trucks, boats, motorcycles, RVs, cars, lawnmowers, water pumps, gate openers, electric fences, and more. The kit includes three types of battery clips (alligator clips, O-rings, and cigarette lighter adapters). The controller and solar panel are integrated, eliminating unnecessary connection steps. The SAE plug-and-play design ensures convenience and quick setup. It can charge single 12V batteries, two 6V batteries in series, or multiple 12V batteries in parallel.
【Easy Installation and Portability】This lightweight and compact solar panel is highly portable, making it convenient for travel without adding extra burden. Equipped with suction cups and carabiners, you can easily attach it to car windows, windows, or hang it anywhere you need.
【Worry-Free Warranty and Support】SUNAPEX provides a one-year warranty for the solar panel and lifetime technical support. Our 24/7 customer service ensures prompt responses to your inquiries. If you’re unsatisfied with our product or need technical assistance, feel free to reach out anytime.
