Unit has approximately 4-1/2 ft of lead wires. Small alligator clips colored accordingly. 2 ft 2" from solar panel is armored with flex-metal sheath that has set screw couplings that allow securing to metal bulkheads to prevent wire pull. Solar panel is approx 5-1/2" X 3-5/8" X 1/2" clear plastic encased. Unit comes with a metal mounting plate for the feeder; screws included. Measured output of panel in full sunlight was 9 volts, no load.
This little panel was purchased to recharge UB645 batteries that power a shortwave receiver during extended power outages and remote base camp operations. I couldn't measure the watt output with my current meter, but from other source data, it should keep a UB645 battery topped off with 7 hours full sunlight charging. The panel came disassembled from mounting plate. The mounting plate offers a wide range of mounting possibilities for the home tinkerer. Unit appears to be ruggedly built and weather resistant. One description picture detail; the unit is NOT metal framed as the picture leads one to believe. There are holes around outside edges that one could mount metal angle trim for further edge protection.
So far, this little panel seems to do it's designed task. The small size does not have a large profile signature and numerous mounting possibilities for those who need concealment. Based on initial handling & tests, I recommend this to those who desire a small panel for back-up or low profile charging needs of 6 Volt UB645 batteries.

I run many feeders on my ranch. I use them for everything from feeding wild game to feeding my live stock. I only use the Wild Game Innovations 6-Volt eDRENALINE Solar Panel. I have tried others, but they are cheaply made with plastic mounting bases and exposed wires. Not the Wild Game Innovations 6-Volt eDRENALINE Solar Panel. It has a sturdy aluminum mounting base and the wires are encased in non corroding flex tubing with a nice fastening system to secure it to the feeder housing. I just had to replace one of these panels two weeks ago, because the old one was getting to weak to keep the battery up on my live stock feeder (multiple long run times per day). The old panel is more then 6 years old though and it still produces enough power for a normal wild game feeder situation.Note: Just in case you can't figure this out on your own. When securing the flex tubing to the feeder box housing, pull the flex tube all the way through the housing and affix the inside clamp to the end of the tubing first. Then pull the flex tube back into the housing and tighten the outside clamp. It is a lot easier then trying to tighten that little clamp screw on the inside clamp while inside the housing.
