5 Stars It works
I drive my 04 Taurus maybe once every 4 months. With an alarm system my battery needs help. This thing works.
2 Stars Truely a trickle
I have used a very similar product before with good results. I take the battery out of my boat between infrequent uses, and attack to the solar charger mounted to a window in my garage. The last time I used the battery, it was dead. I was able to charge it and use it later, so I believe the battery was not the problem.
3 Stars meaaaaa
Received different panel than what was advertised.
Will not work when attached to windshield or any tinted glass; requires direct sunlight.
Shipped in a couple weeks.
Works fine.
1 Star Booooo
This unit did absolutely nothing for my Lexus RX300 (2000). Direct sunlight — I live in Southern California — produced zero effect. I’m on my second battery in 12 months — keeps dying, even with this product installed.
5 Stars For infrequently driven vehicles
If your vehicle has to sit for a length of time, this trickle charger is just the ticket.

Bought this icp solar 04029 battery saver se18 18 watt panel for $79.99 on Amazon from boaters world but they sent me a 5 watt other brand and I called them and they said amazon advertised wrong product. Amazon told me Boaters world advertises there own product on the web site and it is still on here!! I sent back item got my $79.99 back but Amazon had to reimburse the shipping. Buyer Beware!! I have no problems with Amazon. Amazon was very helpful.
5 Stars Makes a great backup kit
The battery saver SE 18 works really great. I use it to charge my 12V battery to run some appliances when the power goes out. I bought a couple of 12V flourescent lights with a small inverter to run a radio and made myself a really simple backup kit. I used to have to plug in a battery charger every couple of weeks to keep the battery from discharging. With the solar panel, I just leave it connected and my battery is always charged, no hassles and no worrying about being in the dark!

1 Star Title Mistake
This is NOT a 120 volt solar panel but a 12.0 volt panel, which will NOT charge a 12.0 volt battery (need 14.5 volts minimum to charge a 12vdc battery). Basically, well, it’s pretty useless. at 6W / 12V it produces 1/2 amp of current which would take 230 hours of sunlight to charge a 115 Amp Hour deep cycle battery. At best, this *could* be used to keep your car’s battery alive in long term parking at the airport with all the computer drain but even there a 1 AMP panel (12-15 watts) would be more ideal given the few hours of light during the winter and shielding from the glass windshield.
4 Stars Well made charger
Well made and does the job just fine. It will work on almost any 12v battery. Naturally it does not replace what an electric battery charger can do and in the same amount of time, but as a trickle charger for car and boat batteries this is all you need (other than some sunshine). The only negative is that tese Sunsei solar panels are far more expensive than they need to be. They are made in China and a 6w panel of this quality should be 30-50% less than what the Sunsei brand demands. Coleman is pretty much the same product, all coming from ICP Solar in Canada, however the Coleman panels cost much less.
5 Stars This works great for me
In all fairness, I never expected to charge a dead battery with this. I leave my boat parked in the desert and I leave this plugged in. Week after week, I go back to the boat and it the battery is fully charged. I was worried that without a trickle charger that I would be “stuck” constantly looking for a jump or have to carry another jumper battery. With the SE-400, this has not been the case. I did buy the small charge controller (probably not needed) as well as the mounting equipment. The mounting arrangement was overpriced for what it was, but it works very well and is probably the simplest way to go. If you’re handy, you could easily make your own. (This should be a separate review.) If you are looking for a trickle charger, I think this is an excellent solution.
