Product Description
Why do you need TOPSOLAR Battery Maintainer Trickle Charger
- Modern vehicles have more than 30 body control modules, alarm systems, anti-theft, and lock monitoring. All of these devices consume battery power. The power consumption of these modules is very small, but if the vehicle is not used or rarely used for a week or two, the battery will discharge until it runs out.
- If you don't keep charging, the battery life will be shortened. Sulfation is most likely to occur if the 12-volt battery voltage is not properly maintained above 12.4 volts. Sulfation is the main cause of battery failure. That's why it's easy to run out of batteries when the vehicle is parked for a long time.
- Once the battery runs out of power due to natural power consumption, it may never recover all the power. But as long as there is sunlight, the TOPSOLAR battery charger and maintainer will generate current to protect your battery from running out of power.
Q&A
Why does my multimeter fail to detect any voltage when the "Normal Working indicator" is lit normally, under no load and sunlight?
- This is normal. Our solar panels are brand new products sent from the factory. When delivered to consumers, the solar panels are still in an inactive state. When consumers use it for the first time, they need to connect the load to activate, and then use a multimeter to measure the voltage that can be read.

Almost.
The battery, like the tractor, is starting to get a little tired. I've found myself having to take it out and charge it to get through this season. Let's face it, this battery is on its last legs, and I'm just hoping I can get through the next few weeks with it.
So I bought this solar panel and immediately ran out of time to install it on the tractor. Instead, I stuck it in my truck. My poor old truck sits unused for weeks at a time. It always starts, but it tends to crank pretty slowly because the battery draws down between uses. This charge/discharge cycle is hard on both batteries and alternators, and both have gotten too expensive to abuse and potentially damage.
Since I don't drive the truck much and I don't want to run a battery tender outside, I decided to repurpose the solar panel as a truck battery maintainer. For this, it works perfectly.
The panel mounts to the inside of the windshield with four suction cups. Easy to put on, easy to remove when I want to drive. The panel itself is very thin so I have to treat it gingerly. I wish I could find a solution that didn't involve removing it every time I want to use the truck but so far I haven't. We'll see how it holds up over time to being repeatedly installed or removed. I envision flexing it just a little too much and hearing a fatal cracking sound but so far it's been fine.
The panel uses SAE connectors which allows you to attach to the cigarette lighter dongle, alligator clips, or dedicated ring terminals. I use the cigarette lighter adapter because the lighter socket is live on my truck all the time. If your vehicle disconnects the lighter socket when the ignition is turned off, you'll have to figure something else out.
SAE connectors are hermaphroditic connectors. That means that two SAE connectors will plug together, but the polarity will reverse (IE the "positive" terminal of one will feed the "negative" terminal of the next one). I triple-checked that the panel would not be wired in reverse polarity in my installation. The panel has a reverse-polarity indicator but I prefer to use a multimeter and see for myself. You can get polarity reversing adapters if you need them but I didn't.
Last time I went to use my truck, the panel had been on and charging for about a week. The truck cranked just as quickly as if I'd put the battery on a dedicated charger. I haven't checked current output or state of charge of the battery, but my seat-of-the-pants analysis tells me that it's keeping the battery topped up. Impressive considering we've had a few cloudy/rainy days this week. We'll see how well it works over the winter.
In all I'm impressed with this panel. It's a simple solution that (so far) seem to work well. It's WAY less expensive than buying a battery so if it continues to work, I will consider it money well spent. I'll update once I've used it a while longer.

Put on two lawnmowers and car a couple months ago but they did not do the job. Wish I had checked how they were doing before 30 day mark. DO NOT BUY. OTHER BETTER OPTIONS OUT THERE.
Plugged it in one of my trucks that sits alot and the silicone edge melted onto a dash cover after only 2 days of sitting on the dash
Pros: comes with an extension cord and a multiple different connectors and looks to be somewhat durable (other than the silcone melting on the edge)
