Customer Review: 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.
Customer Review: 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.
What's in the Box
Solar panel, 10-foot power extension cable, cigarette lighter adapter, battery clamp connector, instruction manual, and 4 mounting screws.
Customer Review: 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.
Customer Review: 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.
