Product seems to do exactly as advertised. I have a car that sits idle for weeks at a time and this is great for keeping the battery charged. Blue LED light shows that the panel is receiving enough light, but there is no indicator to let you know if the charge is actually making it to your battery. I guess you just have to have faith that it’s doing it’s job.

I believe that this has solved my dead battery issues and it was a great fix at a great price.

I received my 2 pack of these and it only came with the following:

2 solar panels
1 cigarette plug in
1 battery clamp cable

I am missing the second set of cables (the cigarette plug cable and the battery clamp cable). I hate to send this package back for 2 little cables so I am trying to figure out how to contact Amazon regarding this.

These also came in a plan brown box with the above items in bubble wrap (no instructions and not in a retail box) not a huge deal but glad I am not planning on giving this as a gift etc - reminds of buying an OEM hard drive and it not coming with all the stuff.

Amazon - please help me out here.

These solar panels arrived in a timely fashion. Pckaged protectively. We’ve parked our cars for a year and plugged them in, one to the cigarette lighter, the other directly to the battery. Nicely thought out alternative hook-up provided. Hope it works. Stan

First off let me say I have bought this same panel from Northern tools (in a package). I received my items, in a huge box with alot of rattling going on inside, when I opened the box I found two panels just thrown in the box with a couple pieces of packaging to somewhat protect anything inside. Remember, I bought this from amazon because I liked the first one I bought at Northern tools ( in a package). The panels didnt come with instructions, nor any packaging that had the extra connections or the suction mounts that should have came with the panels but didnt. I should have gone back to Northern tools, panels dont work like the one from Northern tools and one was cracked from crappy shipping by amazon employee that doesnt care about his job. Do NOT buy.
