Convenient Power That Helps Keep Your Batteries Charged
The Sunforce 50012 1.8-Watt Solar Battery Maintainer lets you harness
the power of the sun, the most powerful and plentiful source of energy
available to us. Unlike nuclear and fossil fuels, solar power is clean
and pollution-free, and the equipment requires very little maintenance
to operate.
This battery maintainer is designed to stave off
the natural voltage drain that 12-Volt batteries undergo over time. It
can also maintain the charge of a 12-Volt battery while it is providing
energy to small electronics like cell phone chargers. The Sunforce
50012 1.8-Watt Solar Battery Maintainer is constructed with durable ABS
plastic and features amorphous solar cells. This unit also includes
suction cups for easy in-car installation. Since it is designed for use
inside of a vehicle, it is not weatherproof and should be kept dry.
This battery maintainer is an ideal choice for automobiles,
recreational vehicles, and more.
Sunforce Solar Panels are effective in areas of both high and lower
sun exposure, making them ideal for use in the United States.

About Amorphous Solar Power
Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon on to glass in
very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels.
This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all
lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. They have
a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit,
require virtually no maintenance, and are also effective on cloudy
days.
Solar cells convert sunlight into an electric current;
they do not actually store power. The Sunforce 50012 1.8-Watt Solar
Battery Maintainer is designed to maintain an existing battery charge,
and not to fully recharge a battery. It can remain connected to a
vehicle battery at all times and will not adversely affect its
operation or electrical components. Unless the battery maintainer is
permanently mounted, you should remove and store it to prevent physical
harm while the vehicle is in motion.
Customer Reviews
Works, but be careful. 
Product works well but you need to check the output at the end of
the cigarette lighter plug with voltmeter. I couldn't figure out why
there was no power at the cig plug. After some investigating I realized
there was a fuse inside the cig plug that was blown. Even though the
blue light is flashing you'll still have no power at the plug. I slid
the chrome ring off the plug and it opened up exposing a blown fuse.
Hope this helps.
Sunforce Solar Battery Maintainer
I installed this battery maintainer on the dashboard of my motor
home and plugged it into the cigarette lighter while the motor home was
in long term storage. Since the rig faces the morning sun, the
maintainer did an excellent job of keeping the battery up to charge. I
am well pleased with this Sunforce Solar battery Maintainer and would
recommend it to anyone in need of such a unit.
Sunforce 1.8 watt solar battery charger
I purchased this solar charger for a camping trip I had planned.
Out in the high deserts of Arizona, I wanting protection that my truck
battery will be charged. I have a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder with a WalMart
battery. We did use the truck battery too much while camping and that
next morning the battery would not turn over the truck motor. Hooked up
the Sunforce 1.8W solar charger and by day end the truck started right
up. LIFE SAVER!!! I would recomend the product HIGHLY!!!
