March 31, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Designed to protect against natural battery discharge and electronic drain in cars, light trucks, vans, ATVs, PWCs, small boats, snowmobiles, riding mowers, tractors and SUVs, the Coleman solar 1.5-watt 12-volt battery charger sends a constant maintenance level charge to the battery to insure against dead batteries. The solar charger provides an immediate charge when exposed to daylight, even on cloudy day. The charger is plug-in-play compatible for quick connections, and a cigarette lighter adaptor and a battery clamp are also included with the panel. The charger is backed by a 2-year warranty.
What’s in the Box
Solar panel, cigarette lighter adapter, battery clamp connector, instruction manual, and a set of mounting suction cups.
User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star This is not a charger.
I purchased one of these in the hope it could trickle-charge a car battery over a few days. It won’t. It produces such a small current in full sunlight that it can only maintain the existing charge of a battery. If you have a flat battery and you leave this plugged in for a few days, you’ll still have a flat battery.
1 Star dont buy it to charge
this doesn’t charge at all i bought to charge a 12 volt battery- then when i got it found its only a maintainer. FALSE ADVERTISING
2 Stars Disappointing - especially from Coleman
The product description states clearly that this little device can be used in all weather conditions.
When unpacked, this does not appear to be the case, and when you read the instructions, on the bottom of the page in small print it says that the product in NOT to be used outdoors unprotected!
For a device that is meant to keep a battery ‘topped up’, typically devices that are not near shelter (snow blowers, tractors, automatic entrance gates, etc) this seems like a fatal design flaw!
Other than that - the device seems to work fine as a trickle charger.
1 Star NOT WEATHERPROOF
Regardless of what the Amazon listing says (and I asked them to change it over a month ago and still haven’t) this product is NOT weatherproof. When you open the package the literature about the product specifically states that it is “not for use outdoors”. You have to pay more to get a weatherproof model.

5 Stars Durable, super brite, stay on all night.
These are definitely worth the price. They are really brite and hold their charge all night. I have 10 and they look great around my patio. Durable metal and plastic housing is not cheap looking.
5 Stars Decor delight
We love the lights! We bought six to use in an outside stairwell. The lights periodically do not receive strong sunlight, yet, the low levels don’t seem to lessen the light output we get each evening. We can clearly see to walk in a dark stairwell without the worry of where to step next. Product price was reasonable. Product arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. Having hard plastic in lieu of glass for an outside area allows us to use the product throughout the winter. We are extremely pleased with the product and seller.
5 Stars The Best
We have so many different solar lights and these are by far my favorite! They are very bright and hold its charge all night!
