March 29, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Designed to protect against natural battery discharge and electronic drain in RVs, boats, trucks, or mobile homes, the Coleman solar 4.5-watt 12-volt deep-cycle battery charger keeps the 12-volt batteries in the vehicle charged so you can run small appliances such as fluorescent lights, GPS devices, coolers, small TVs, or laptops. The solar charger provides an immediate trickle charge when exposed to daylight, even on cloudy day. Illuminated LEDs lets you know the panel is charging, and mounting screws are included if you choose to fix the panel near a constant sunlight source. 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. (A charge controller is recommended when using this device to charge delicate electronics).
What’s in the Box
Solar panel, 10-foot power extension cable, cigarette lighter adapter, battery clamp connector, instruction manual, and 4 mounting screws.

5 Stars It keeps my battery charged up
I’ve had this about 2 months, and it seems to work. I leave it sitting on the dash board of my car that I only rarely drive. Because the car operates a clock and a few electric devices all the time, the battery would drain down. This keeps the battery fully-charged.
It has a long wire that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I leave it plugged in even when I’m driving (it has a diode to protect it from reverse current flow). Thus, it couldn’t be easier to use.
1 Star Coleman doesn’t warranty this product!!!!
In my opinion, this is not a well made product. It is not guaranteed by Coleman even though it carries the Coleman brand. Mine broke during it’s initial use and when I wrote to Coleman, they told me to contact the company in Canada that makes the product. They replied that they would not replace the unit.
5 Stars Good price and works great
I’ve used this charger several times, always outdoors and always when it rained hard. I use it to keep charged a deep cycle battery powering my pop up trailer while camping. It really works to keep the battery charged–it seems to stay charged much longer with this attached. Also, it seems impervious to rain and even has the charge light on when it’s raining, which I assume means it is working even when cloudy and in the rain. I’d recommend this highly. I looked around and this is a very good price for a solar charger of this wattage.
3 Stars Not so sure it does as represented …..not able to keep charge on battery
This item could not keep a charge on a battery in a Lincoln LS that has lots of features that drain the battery over a few days….left car in Airport 4 days and battery was dead…the battery is new and will take a full charge and stay up if driven daily…bought this item hoping to solve the problem…no luck…..I’ll try it on my garden tractor…
5 Stars Works perfectly
Does what it says it will do. Pleased with this solar charger. Perfect for cars and boats. The blue LED provides a notice to show the panel is working ok. Good value for money.

5 Stars Works Great!
I actually tied this in to my deer feeder and never had a problem, it seems to be weather proof and everything! The price was worth a shot compared to others also.

4 Stars Perfect if you park in the sun
Bought this about 2-years ago since I have a very bad habit of leaving my parking lights on. Also figured I couldn’t go wrong since I park in the hot Hawaiian sun most of the time at home and at work. Overall the unit works…it’s hard to tell but since I’ve gotten this unit, I haven’t had to use my portable jumper(I’m Sold!)…and I do notice on those long sunny days the starter spins up easier. The only issue I had with this unit is inherent to my cars design…the lighter plug on my car only works with the ignition “on”. To resolve this incompatibility, I simply hard-wired the charger into the vehicle using a fused lead to the battery…problem solved. I also used a quick disconnect on the lead so I can remove the entire unit..which by the way has sat on my dashboard since I installed it. I’ll consider buying a higher wattage unit later for future vehicles since they are relatively inexpensive…size being the limiting factor on the dashboard of course.

4 Stars THIS IS A MISPRINT !! ACTUALLY MORE WATTS
This Coleman unit is rated at 600ma and a total power of 9 Watts. Buyers will be pleasantly surprised. The fair price for weatherproof solar panels is $10/watt…so this one qualifies although has been discontinued. My lack of a full five stars is because Coleman seems to overrate their panels by about 20%…or else they take it down to the equator to measure the power.
4 Stars Solar Panel
The unit is more or less what I expected and appears to be working well for my application as a trickle charger for my deep-cycle marine battery operating an ornamental iorn entry gate. This unit DOES NOT work with the Sunsei Solar Grip bracket which is listed as working with the Coleman Solar Panels (both are ICP Solar products); the bracket extexsions are not long enough. I was able to frabricate a simple clamp for the panel which did work with the bracket however.
