When you are experiencing issues with keeping an automotive battery charged a solar battery charger can be an excellent option. These chargers use the sun’s rays to create voltage to charge, or maintain, a battery. Watch the video down below and let Paul explain what a solar battery charger can do for you.
Can You Leave a Solar Battery Charger On All The Time?
Yes. The solar battery tender will produce a trickle charge that will either slowly (and we do stress slowly) charge the battery or keep the battery fully charged (topped off). Using this all the time will not hurt your automotive battery.
Can You Over Charge a Car Battery With a Solar Charger?
As a general rule, a solar panel that has a charge controller will NOT overcharge the battery. The charge rate depends on the solar panel voltage, the output current, and the battery voltage. Overcharging is eliminated by using a solar charge controller. A 10 amp solar battery charger does not produce enough current that would damage the battery.
How Long Does It Take To Charge a Car Battery With a Solar Battery Charger?
Great question. The solar battery chargers we sell are 10 amps. It would take 10 hours in direct sunlight to charge from 0 volts. These are great to keep your automotive battery charged and ready for use.
How Much Does a Solar Battery Charger Cost?
Generally, a quality solar battery charger will run from $40 - $60 dollars for a 10 amp model. The more amps you purchase, the larger the solar cell, and the larger the price. For automotive purposes in just keeping a battery ready for use, the 10 amp model is perfect.
The NoCo Solar Battery Tender sold by Mobile Battery Squad is the solution to battery discharge to automobile batteries that are left for long periods of time. This solar battery tender offer a great 2.5 watts of solar charging to keep your car or truck battery at 100%.
The main use of this solar battery tender is to keep your battery at high capacity rather than charging a battery. If you plan on infrequent use of your automobile this device can help. It can either plug into your 12v outlet or be directly connected to your battery.
