C’est efficace pour maintenir la charge de la batterie de la voiture. Une puissance de 20 W est ncessaire dans le climat o je demeure, avec des hivers trs froids o les journes sont courtes. Un petit panneau solaire 5 ou 10 watt n’est pas suffisant. Le POWOXI, avec 20 watt, maintient la batterie charge avec une puissance suffisante, mme lorsqu’il fait -20 C. Avec ce panneau solaire, la batterie de la voiture est toujours charge et il n’y plus de surprise !! Je le recommande !
Husband is extremely happy with this. He uses it for lawn mower. It’s grea
I use it in my motorhome to slow charge my coach batteries in the winter. Works great. I might get one for my chassis battery instead of taking it out of the engine bay.
I brought this because I’m not using my vehicle as much as I was . I noticed that the security system was draining my battery after a week of being plugged into my vehicle much improvement to the battery
Works great charging one 12v marine battery on a 40′ trailer. I use the battery to run the winch to get stuff on and off the trailer. With this charger I know the battery is charged and ready for work. I usually leave it on for a day after winching for an hour or so
You get what you pay for
If you need a fast charge go bigge
Used for keeping motorhome starter battery charged, controller stops overcharging. Easy to fit to battery. Basically plug n play.
Don’t use the car as much as we should, for various reasons and despite a smaller solar cell that just trickled some power into the battery, it would still go flat after less than two weeks.
With this it does a proper, managed charge and the battery is great. The brakes still squeal initially but that’s to be expected, but the 12V battery is not a problem.
It’s not small, but we stand it up in the rear footwell and can always put it in the boot if we need to.
Fits the dashboard fine. Oh, it’s a Toyota Auris btw.
I go quite often camping during this period when it is great weather and where I park my car there is no power supply and because I use a lot of devices the car battery gets drained very fast so I needed to find a quick and cheap solution to that so I decided to buy this solar panel which is specifically to charge batteries.
I got the panel which is relatively small size but has a very long cable and I like this, the cigarette lighter and the alligator adaptor+ 4 suction legs(this is what I call them) to mount the panel on any flat surface.
To operate is super easy, I take the alligator cable, put it on the battery and then connect with the solar panel and that is all, yes, simple as that.
On the panel there is a led indicator and when it is on it means it collects light(not necessarily sunlight) and personally I am not an expert to know exactly how long it takes to charge a car battery but I know for sure that I can count on this product and I will not run of power while being far away.
The panel can be mounted outside or inside(i stick mine to the window of the car while i go hiking).
Overall experience with this product: good, it does exactly what it was bought for.
Happy with this purchase.
I have two of these now. First one is keeping my Harley battery maintained in a remote garage with no mains power. Second one is hopefully doing the same to my motorhome engine battery whilst its not in use.
I bought several of the 12V solar chargers over a period of several months. They all worked beautifully until last week. One malfunctioned and only put out 2 V. I contacted the company and they shipped me a new one almost immediately. The customer service is superb!
Bought a few that didn’t work (other companies and manufacturers) and then found this one. It has resurrected my caravan leisure battery and I now have a useable spare.
We use it to trickle feed a battery to run a cctv camera
May 2022 Update. This product works well however I have just ruined another motorcycle battery. The problem seems to be the the voltage produced brings the battery up to 15 volts and overcharges it from that point forward. There is no overcharge protection for the battery.
I bought this product in June 2021 and it worked perfectly until March 2022 when I noticed that the charge light would flicker on and off. I discovered that by touching around the connection area I could demonstrate that there was some sort of a problem. I contacted the supplier who responded immediately and requested I make a video to show them what I was experiencing. I did this and sent it to them. Within 24 hours I had an acknowledgment that there was indeed a fault and a new product arrived 48 hours later. I think this is a great product with fantastic tech support.
Bought this for my wife’s work car. She has a GPS tracking and speed tracking device on her car connected to the car battery. Her agency has not allowed her to travel for the past two years because of COVID and therefore her car battery dies constantly. Battery has been replace twice in two years but they will not disconnect the tracking system even though the car sits in our yard undriven. Plugged in the panel and have gone over two weeks without starting the car with no issues, whereas before in that timeframe the battery would be down to 10.5 volts. Great purchase and she recommends it to all her coworkers in the same predicame
To Early to report if it works. Only installed today.
…my GTR-35 has never failed to start since I had this attached.
It is also good for holding down the car cover in the wind whilst it sits on the bonnet.
Got this to keep my rv batteries up when the rv is in storage but it works when it wants to. Sometimes they will be half charged other days they will be dead
I have a motorhome and the coach is powered by two large 12 volt batteries. This panel was simple to install and keeps the batteries perfectly charged.
I’ve bought this to keep a motorhome leisure battery charged over the winter. It’s set inside a slightly tinted window, facing the winter sun if it should decide to appear. In that location, and with a weak winter sun through the window I’m getting half an amp charge. Before the sun came round the side of the neighbour’s house there was around 20mA. I was a bit disappointed by that, but half an amp when the sun shines will be more than enough to keep the batter good.
If there is good sunlight the item will work. But it is not a fast charging If used on a flat battery.
So far so good I have been using it to maintain my back up generator battery charge. I have been using it for the past seven months with no problem.
Have installed this in our van and it is maintaining the battery nicely.
Got some “old but sound”12v batteries kicking about, bought the solar panel, and an inverter now running a bunch of stuff around the house on sunlight, even at night. So happy I bought another one to keep the car from moaning through lack of use.
obust, well packaged. I bought an extra 25m lead as my caravan (off grid) is under trees hence the need to put the panel in unshaded areas. I had 11.4v at 8am and by 12 noon it was up to 11.9v. I was charging the leisure battery using a petrol genny for an hour a day but im sure this will keep it at a decent charge without the need for a genny. Obviously in bad light i will need the genny but at the moment this is good. Probably should have bought this sooner if im honest. Comes with a USB lead which will be handy for various items but havent used this yet.
hook it up, works good , only thing is it is always charging , battery is never full charge
I bought this to keep a leisure battery charged for weekend use at my allotment. I plug in an out well cool box. It takes about two days to recharge from 75%. Which is fine for my occasional use. If you want charge more instantly then get a bigger unit but for plugging in a fridge box at weekends this is perfectly fine. It’s on the roof of a shed as had it behind a window and the charge wasn’t anywhere near as good
Battery charger/maintainer is working well, but I couldn’t get the USB charger to charge my phone.
I emailed customer service and was promply contacted and guided through the installation.
It turns out that I was plugging in the USB charger into the controller instead of directly into the solar panel.
Charges my batteries quicker than I expected. It is a trickle charger/battery maintainier so don’t expect rapid charge. I live in Ireland and not every day is bright and sunny lol but it still does the job. Would recommend.
I must admit I was a little doubtful about these solar chargers. But in just one afternoon, it produced an amazing amount of power and in total it put 0.3 volts into my 12v battery. I’m so impressed, I’ve just bought another one!
works well for charging/maintaining small batteries and devices, even used it help charge RV house batteries when I didn’t have larger panels available
Maseratis are known for being high drain vehicles when it comes to batteries due to the number of gadgets they have and the large engines. Even Maserati recommends disconnecting the battery if you are not driving the car for more than a week.
Instead of discounting the battery I simply attach them to the battery and stick the solar panel to the roof. I have left it for weeks without driving and the battery remains healthy and topped-up. Very pleased with the product. It has saved me thousands of pounds and a lot of hassle resetting the electrics when reconnecting a battery! Bought another one for my beach hut to keep the electrics topped-up which run of car batteries!
Product arrived on time and is very good quality so I have every confidence in it lasting well.
It’s got a blue light to indicate that a charge is available and this comes on as soon as it’s light!
Been using it successfully to charge my camper van’s battery and, when we’re allowed to, I’ll take it with me so I can charge other devices when I’m all rufty tufty and off-grid.
At 20W there’s enough ooomph to quickly make a difference.
Definitely recommend.
Because I rarely use my car during Covid lockdown, keeping things like the alarm, central locking, etc was draining the battery. I bought this product to compensate for that drain. It was easy to install, and so far seems to be doing what is required, but it has only been installed for just over a day. If there is a downside, I would have preferred if it came with an OBD2 connector, which I had to purchase separately. It does come with clips and a USB connector thought, which will both be useful.
I purchased this unit to maintain the charge on my caravan battery over the lock down period and it has worked well.
I bought this in Oct ’20. A prized & not often used car developed a “parasitic drain” from an unknown component meaning the battery was flattened in about 5 days. It’s a potentially a difficult & very expensive repair so this was bought to trickle charge & maintain it as it’s not practice for us to run a charger from the mains. This panel therefore spends 90% of it’s life outside on my windscreen. The longest time so far is now 3 weeks & the battery was perfect. We’ve permanently mounted the control box safely under the bonnet in a clean dry area.
A word of caution – we did have a period when it couldn’t keep up but we found that was due to us foolishly fitting a much larger battery which was almost too big physically for the car & also, we realised, too big for the charger. We reverted back to the original size battery & all was well. So take care to make sure this 20w trickle charger is big enough for your battery.
We’re very happy with this, it feels & looks well made & the panel has proven heavy enough to remain on the windscreen under very windy conditions. Bear in mind only the panel is waterproof & not the control box!
Highly recommended.
This one is better. It still seems to draw 7-10mA in half light, but it did get my battery up to 12.6V during the day (250mA behind a slightly tinted windscreen). In darkness, the discharge draw isn’t quite zero, but at 0.12mA it’s as good as. I’ll update this after a few weeks of lockdown, but I suspect a smart charger will still be a good idea after a month or two.
It took a while to get it all together because I needed a port for the side of the trailer https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TNZ4T5F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and extension wiring, a ring connector for the battery and a polarity reverser.
Absolute the best thing I had bought to keep 12v battery charged – well recommended
Works from word go. Out of the box, and the blue light was on. Only just got round to fitting. But, great stuff. Works well. Pleased so far. 2 year warranty. Used for trickle charge on a Narrow Boat.
Using it to charge a battery for use on a car winch.
Keeps it charged very nicely. Great that it does not need bright sunlight to operate. Obviously a quicker charge when there is, but if the battery is charged, then a dull day will keep kit topped up.
It has now been in operation for 5 months and I couldn’t be happier with it.
A great bit of kit for the money.
Initially had a problem but soon sorted out as great customer service.
I am using this to keep my car charged as it can sit unused for months at a time. bought this weeks ago and checked my cars battery and its fully charged.
Mounted on top of trailer tool box to charge a deep cycle battery. The battery powers a winch used to load atvs on the trailer. I have been using the winch 6-8 times per weekend. By the start of the next weekend the battery is fully charged.
The negative I have is it is used with a deep cycle battery whose fully charged voltage is not as high as a typical 12 v battery. Therefore the “fully charged” light on the module has only been lit once although I have checked the battery is fully charged with a volt meter.
It arrived packaged well. Instructions were clear. Hooked it up and it seems to be working. Will update review if it does not perform well.
Seems to be doing it’s job so far, keeping batteries topped up. Very happy
Bought this to keep battery alive on or 2008 motor home it’s on a fiat Ducato base Battery going flat after a just over a week,
Just went to get it of storage after lockdown 14+ weeks it only started 1st time. Definitely worth the money
Had to buy an extension lead to extend the length of the wires from control unit to battery – original length is quite short, maybe this can be addressed by the supplier, Powoxi, whose customer support is first class.
The solar panel is nice and compact, approximately 40x40cm. It comes with a 3ft cable to the detachable solar controller, then about 2ft of cable to the crocodile clips. The cables are all standard sae, so easy to get extensions and accessories.
I tested the unit on my spare 110ah battery I have at home, it’s old and doesn’t hold its charge for long. But the solar panel charged it from 12.5v to 12.9 in 6 hours. No drain was on the battery in this test. The solar held a charge of 14.5v even in overcast conditions and I had it inside behind double glazing. So no risk of sulfation.
I left the solar attached after charging was complete to see if it would fry my battery. But the charge unit turned off and after 24 hours the battery was still cold.
Fully recommend this setup.
Have to out the device to work, but first impression is good.
Much better quality than another unit I ordered and returned came with s charge controller and all cables. Only negative is the fact gheyvdvreduced the price now 🙁
Use it to keep my leisure battery topped up. Seems to do a good job. Better than the cheaper solar panel I previously used.
