NOCO BLSOLAR2 Solar Battery Charger

did good job of keeping 1.8 toyota avensis battery fully charged when not in use for 3 weeks but battery must be in good condition and be fully charged as this is not a battery charger its a trickle charger which will maintain your battery at full charge for long periods when car is not in use for long periods also will not over charge your battery like some other ones on auction sites it is well made and connectors are good quality

not so powerful and efficient as expected although i live in a very sunny country.Very well constructed but too big, without the results expected from such a size

so you never know when it will happen: Zombie attack, meteor strike, biological warfare. So just in case, this bit of kit has now been added to my boot as part of my 'armageddon backpack' along with the likes of a buddy burner (one for the girl guides out there) some matches, a sewing kit and hat made out of a tin foil covered colander.

It drained the battery it was supposed to me charging via a super bright LED that draws from the battery all the time.

The problem is I haven't actually had any opportunity to use this yet. So my review is limited. However, I intend to update it as soon as I've had an opportunity to test the product properly. It's relatively light and easy to store which is a plus although you need to be carefully with how you store it.

Got this to try on my daughters little car. All i can say is WOW! Its easy to set up, and YES it does work. She is learning to drive so her car just sits about all the time. Then the battery goes flat. Not with this. I think we need to get one for my sons car when he gets it. Best value for money you will ever find.

Hmmm....never really sure that this was working. No indicators or lights on it to tell you if there was enough sun for it to work. In direct sunlight an ammeter revealed that it was charging (and did not draw power then the sun went in - good !) but that's not practical in most situations.Charge rate was as stated but that's pretty feeble unless you're using it to charge a small lead acid cell or similar. I appreciate that it claims to be a maintainer rather than a charger, but the rate is really too weak to make much difference. There are bigger and better ones out there....But I guess if you've got a small power source that you want to keep topped up on the move or when you're camping then it could work well....just not really for much else.

This product is not going to charge a flat 12 volt car battery very quickly but what it does do very well is use solar energy to maintain a good charge in a healthy battery.Maintaining a charge in a leisure battery is probably it's most useful function so boat and camper van owners would do well to consider this item.Build quality is very good and I expect this panel to be able to withstand the rigours of an outdoor life.
