Pleasantly Surprised

Customer Rating:
Ok folks I will have to admit, this is one foreign made product that surprised me once it was in place. I store a portable welder in an area where there is no electricity. I had entertained the idea of running electricity to that shed for years, but saw this solar panel advertised at a reasonable price and thought 'what the heck'. The battery on my welder is old and I figured no way this thing is gonna keep it charged. Well I was wrong. Not only does the Coleman Solar Charger keep it charged, but it has a VERY strong charge and I haven't had those iritating booster cables out since I installed the charger. I plan to purchase one or two more of these to maintain my jet ski as well as boat.

My first solar panel - Quite good but not as specified

Customer Rating:
This is my first solar panel, as soon as i received it I wanted to verify the power it said it could generate by solar light, when I exposed it to day light its built in blue LED lighted and I checked the output voltage, it was more than 15VDC (open output), then I measured the shortcircuit current which indicates should be 600mA, I obtained almost 400mA, under a very sunny day. Quite good I think, I can use it to adapt to some small appliances's charger.

I ordered one Coleman panel to see how good it was. I am a long time Coleman collector and this fits just right! Brand power at its best! I have had it about 2 weeks and have it connected to my campers battery. The camper has a stereo system which requires a "hot" lead to maintain memory so this creates a drain on the battery. After this panel, no more worries about the drain! This panel in full sun is putting out 22.65volts and drops to 17.3 on a cloudy day, even when it was raining!I ordered two more and expect them to arrive tomorrow. I will build a frame to attach the panels to and hook all of them to my battery bank (3 D/C NG27). I expect to be able to use them for a generator (less) week of camping next month! If it fails then expect me to update this review! I think ICP could have had a better way of connecting multiple panels though. Coleman dosen't supply the gang plug, so I have to cut the plug ends off and hardwire them together. Not too much of an issue though.

Solar Panel For Boat Battery

Customer Rating:
I am still testing the merits of this purchase. I Bought it to keep my boat battery charged , since I use the boat infrequently. I may have needed to buy a larger panel to get more charging power...
Still in the tryout stage.
