User Ratings and Reviews

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.

Great for use with batteries that are seldom used or in storage, such as with antique cars, boats, RV’s or cottages. Also used with deer feeders, farm equipment, electric fences and gate openers. The BatterySaver 1 Watt prevents dead car batteries and reduces the need for expensive battery replacements. It will maintain a car, light truck or SUV battery by sending a maintenance-level charge to the battery. Also works with small RV’s or boats. Excellent for cars in storage or parked for extended periods of time. Works in cloudy conditions.Ensures those much needed quick starts on cold winter days.

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.
