Buy FALL's HERE SOLAR SALE - Solar Panel Charger KIT - Boat RV Marine

Customer Ratings:

I originally gave this product one star because although the product description says that no voltage regulator is required, the documentation that came with the product clearly indicates that one is required. Upon reading my review, Rich, from ITC called me to inform me that the documentation was wrong and that the solar panel did indeed not need a voltage regulator. I am very impressed with the speed with which Rich responded to my review. The panel is very well made and suits my needs perfectly (trickle charging for the deep cycle 12 volt battery on my sailboat. Rich informed me that the solar panel should be installed with a fuse and diode which he graciously provided to me. This panel is well worth the price considering the quality and speed that ITC provides technical support.

Package contained the accessories descibed but for the price there should be options.

First, If you want to solar charge your battery while operating the boat, the cigarette lighter plug is the way to go.

If you want to trickle charge the battery while your not using the boat, the cigarette plug is a waste of time expecially if you have the battery "kill switch" engaged while not using your boat. If that is the case, the best thing to do for direct connection and quick disconnect of the solar panel wire, is not use the supplied battery post eye-let connectors just go out and buy and attach a set of small alligator clips.

Second, as stated, the rail mounts are not included but the suggested West Marine part # is good for only one standard size "round" rail.

I bought the $25,00 mounts for the solar panel for my pontoon boat and planned to mount it on the "tow bar rail" (which on my Crest pontoon, is the only round rail).Finding that the tow bar rail was larger, I inquired if they (West Marine) had a larger size mount made by the same manufacturer and they did not.

To mount it on the tow bar rail I had to buy a section of PVC pipe that West Marine rail mounts (suggested part#) fit and two stainless steel U-bolts so I could attach/mount PVC pipe to the tow bar rail. With all that said, I spent another $22.00 above the $25.00 cost of the suggested West Marine part #.

If not mounting the solar panel at all, I would still suggest using alligator clips as your panel wire connection to the battery posts.

-------8/10/13 It's been about 1 week since I installed this panel and find that with additions I made as explained above, the solar panel does the job.

To my surprise, in my mail today I received a set of alligator clips that will connect to the battery via cigarette lighter plug from this company along with a very nice letter explaining that they understood the predicament and will make alligator clips available in future packaging. It is very comforting to know that this company ITC Solar is alert to suggestions and I fully trust they will take interest in any purchasers concerns.

My old solar panel on my motorhome broke and was only a 5 watt. I did a lot of research and found this one and I like how it doesn't have a glass panel and it is flexible a little bit, plus it was the exact size I needed to replace the old one and installation was a snap.

Easily keeps my battery topped off. Put out 17 when off the battery 12 on, so we know it is charging away. Very sturdy, I do not have to worry about it breaking. One bad thing, it did not come with the cables to attach to he battery, so four stars for making be fiddle with it. Good buy. It also does not seem to have the requlator that it said it did. Still would buy again.

A friend of mine showed up in his camper last month with a solar panel and controller that he hooked up. So, not to be out done, I researched. And found this one (last one in stock); the reviews were helpful so I took the plunge. It arrived in 2 days after paying the 3-5 days, everything was included so I connected it all up. I went ahead and put the diode in line (I hope that is ok for charging my deep-cycle marine battery I use with my camper -please let me know if I should take it off), at first I put the diode in backwards (doh) but noticed before I was done with the wire. I then tested it, first in my garage and already got 13 V, then in the sunlight. I thought something was wrong because my voltmeter gave me an error. I switched it to a higher range and it was reading 20.5V! I placed it on top of my camper with one side raised up with a 2x4 facing south and continually check it. It is a good deal and I feel we'll worth the price. Floor those reasons, and others, I give it a 5 stars. Thanks for the great product, fast shipping and reasonable price.

List Price: $35.99

This seemed like a really good idea. A portable charging source AND a flashlight that fits into a small, convenient package for use when needed, and in a solid metal casing, too. Except it doesn't work. Not as advertised, anyway.

I have an HTC One with a 2300 mAH battery, and expected this to be able to deliver one full charge when needed. Instead, after leaving it charging overnight on this device starting at about 7% remaining charge in my phone battery, it brought my phone's charge up to just over 50% before quitting. This would indicate that the charger offers less than half of the advertised capacity of 2600 mAH. Obviously, that is not what I, or any other buyer of this product, is paying for. There were some other minor build quality issues, but none of them are even worth worrying about if the product fails to perform its most basic function.

Mine is going back.

UPDATE:

I've been in discussions with EC Technology about this issue. 2 things appear to be causing my issues. The first is that they assume that you will be charging your device in a powered down state. If that is not the case, your device will consume power and charge at the same time resulting in less than a full charge going to the device battery. Second, and more importantly, the expected conversion rate from the charger to the device is about 70% (NOT mentioned in the product description) meaning that the 2600 mAH battery advertised will, at best, provide about 1800 mAH of charging capacity. If your device is turned on during charging, it will achieve even less, which is reflected in the performance I observed. So basically, this product will probably work fine for a device with a 1500-1800 mAH battery. Anything bigger and you should probably be looking for a larger charger.

Mine is still going back.

I was a little bit unsure of what I was going to receive based on the reviews before purchase. But if you are cheap like me, this is the best priced portable charger on the market. Let me assure you this is a 100% completely satisfied approval from me. The flashlight is very very bright and I charged my iphone from red line dead to fully charged in just under 2 hours. Unsure of others results but mine are actual.

Real neat item. But it is cheap -I hope it lasts. We've been using them for 4 months so far with no problems.

Instructions are terrible, but if you have a little tech. common sense, you don't need them.

I bought a Blue one for me and a Plum one for me wife. They are designed differently! My Blue model has a Y-cable dongle for all adaptors, and it also charges. The Plum (purple) model has a flush USB connection, a single cable for adaptors and charging (flip it around and charge with the mini-usb), and had two more adaptor plugs. The Blue one I received seems a little cheaper and does not look the same as pictured. I think I got an older revision -but it works OK.

The light works well on both and they look the same. The blue has a flush lens, and the plum lens is curved in with a bump in the center. Almost as good as my LED maglite, and if this truely is 2600mAh, then it should last just as long.

I'd buy this again.. Good luck, because who knows what type you will get!

** If the product photos are still there, you can see what I mean. The WHITE end with a hole -this is the for Y-cable dongle and there is a little switch for the flashlight. The BLACK end has the nice, flush USB socket and there is a tiny button for the flashlight. Both work, but I prefer the flush USB socket because I'd rather not carry around another Y-cable.

I purchased one of these from a different manufacturer on Amazon some months back, and was very impressed. So I purchased 2 more since my partner asked for one as well. This is a versatile, convenient flashlight, but what's really cool about it is that it's also a charger for your smartphone or tablet. Now this isn't going to get you through a week in the wilderness, but it is going to get you through the day if you , like most of us, have a smartphone that you use some much that the battery drains on you. Most of us have to tether our smartphone to the desk or near an outlet to charge it. But with this you can just plug any USB cord into the end of the flashlight and charge it up on the go. When you get home at night recharge the flashlight's battery and you're ready to go.

The light itself is pretty powerful. We sometimes walk for exercise at night, and in South Florida it's pretty dark, some of the streets don't have street lighting, and using it as a flashlight is convenient. It's a nice compact size for a flashlight and having this around is really a wonderful tool for anybody who needs a portable recharge available for their smartphone. Also this is easier than bringing a smartphone's cord and the part that plugs into the wall. With this you just need the cord part. Most smartphones and tablets have a cord that unplugs from the part that goes into the outlet. So instead of carrying that I'm happy to carry this instead. I don't think the brand matters too much. The other brand was a bit more money but has a little blue led on the opposite end from the flashlight, where the USB and micro USB are. I guess that would be convenient for getting one's keys out at night, but that's about it. In any case, between the two of us we now have 3 of these and they are extremely handy.

Sent a email and no response, trying to find out about the selector switch for different types of batteries.Do think they could have designed the charger better with a switch that states gel, agm, lead acid, deep cycle, and a volt meter would have been better. This is a lot of money for this charger and you can find some with better information and cheaper with a service department. August 19th, Today Dan from Associated contacted me, he did explain that as long as you leave the charger on sealed selection everything should be find and you will not screw up expensive gels or agm's. Still think they can have a better design instead of blinking lights and 3 positions. A volt meter to show progress, a timer, a selector for deep cycle, agm gel lead acid 6v or 12 v. Will up date more with further performance updates.

Cheap Mono-crystalline Solar Panel - 12Volt / 5Watts

Customer Ratings:

I purchased two of these panels about a year ago. They really crank out the power. I have them both wired together into a 12 volt battery system. These panels work flawlessly and are rugged. They will probably still be outside producing power 25 years from now with no worries. These are small 5 watt solar panels that produce power like bigger panels. The mono-crystalline panels are better than the poly-crystalline, since the small mono-crystal panels produce more power than the larger poly-crystal. Example: I have two 20 watt solar panels that are the same size. The "mono" panel produces far more power than the "poly" panel but they are both supposed to be 20 watt solar panels. Therefore I would rather have smaller panels that produce more power than larger panels that produce less. So it appears that the black solar panels produce more power than the pretty blue panels.

Best Deals for Mono-crystalline Solar Panel - 12Volt / 5Watts

This robust panel, just 10-1/4 x 8-1/4 x 3/4 inches, easily runs a 12V 4.5A exhaust fan in my attic, with as much power as if it was coming from a freshly charged car battery. Direct red/red black/black wire connections, no controller required, but you could put one in plus a rechargeable battery if you wanted it to run for a while longer when the sun goes behind clouds.

It has 2 stainless screws at each corner of the frame, so I undid one of each of them (the one furthest away from the screen) and re-used it to attach the frame to a piece of aluminum angle (1 x 1 x 1/16, 8 inches long) on 2 sides, so that the panel is raised 1/4 inch off the surface to which it is attached, and this allows the (combined wire) cable to emerge unpinched. Then I screwed those angle brackets to the roof.

Just be careful with connections and installation. There are no instructions; the panel comes without a temporary screen cover and with the ends of its black and red connecting wires exposed. To avoid frying the unit, it is best to insulate the wire ends so that they do not touch each other, and to temporarily place a piece of ordinary letter-sized paper over the screen with painters masking tape holding it to the frame. This prevents the panel from trying to generate electricity during installation. If that happens, and the black and red exposed wire ends touch, you could damage the panel.

Review of Bracketron IPM-423-BX Universal 12V Power Flex Neck Dock

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $34.95
Sale Price: $16.84
Today's Bonus: 52% Off

For the most part, it is a rather sturdy phone mount for your car. However, the X-Grip holder has some limitations. For one, it won't hold my Samsung Galaxy S3. Or at least, it won't hold it like the mount's instruction manual suggests to do.

The suggested use for the holder is to press a tab and slide the top tab up, place your phone in the bottom tabs (which are incidentally NON-ADJUSTABLE), and push the top tab down to lock it into place. That is a very clever and useful way to mount a phone in this holder, but the overall vertical length is too short. Sure, it might fit any iPhone up to the 4s model, but I doubt it will work well with the iPhone 5, much less any of the newer smartphones of substantial height.

If I take my Galaxy S3 out of it's protective aftermarket case, I could FORCE it under the top tab, but that defeats the purpose of the holder. First, I shouldn't be expected to have to remove my phone from its case, just to mount it in my car. I use a Ballistic brand "armor case" on my phone, and it only adds about 6mm to the height of the phone, yet my cased phone is almost an inch too tall for the mount when the mount is extended fully. Second, the holder's design allows for effortless clamping of a phone into place, there should not be a forceful bending of a clip just to fit the phone in the holder.

Used for about a month and then the clamps cracked just after the warranty expired. Used with a Nexus with extended battery. The phone was a bit heavy for this device and it was not able to be held up by the flexible neck of the unit. In all fairness to the device, the phone may have exceeded the maximum supported weight.

I really like the holder, I just have two things that make me not give it 5 stars...for my vehicle it fits in the lighter plug, but just barely, it sometimes comes out just enough so that it doesn't charge. Also the bendable neck does not really bend and stay in positions as well as my old Brackerton window holder.

I do recommend the holder, with those exceptions to keep in mind.

I'm a Battery Tender fanatic. I honestly think I need help. Maybe it's all in the deviously subliminal master plan to someday transition to an electric car? Anyway it's winter in the Northeast and the boat is in storage (three batteries) along with the waverunners (two batteries) and the motorcycle (except for a few warm winter days), not to mention the non daily driver car that sits. So everything is on chargers since I hate hitting the start button and getting nothing, having to wait, go get a battery, install, and miss an opportunity. Anyway, these chargers never had long connector lines. I had to move the box close to the battery and not too far from the outlets... Enough!....and then I found these extensions which solved my problems. Now I'm tucking (heavy) batteries away in corners where I don't need 'em for a while, and the ones leading into the car and motorcycle aren't getting tripped over knocking Tenders onto the floor. Love them. They work perfectly as long as I lable which ones were going where. These things are great and they work perfectly.
