Easy to setup,
March 16, 2009
By HandyJoe
from Corvallis, OR
|
"In off-season, my riding mower doesn't get used that often but when I do need it, the battery is usually dead and it's a pain to have to recharge it. Also, after a few discharges, the battery is pretty much shot. After the easy installation of the BatterMINDer solar charger, it has been ready to go no matter how long it's been sitting. When it comes to keeping the battery charged - even in the cloudy NW, so far this has done a great job."

"I use this solar charging system with 2 UPG Sealed Lead-Acid Battery — AGM-type, 12V, 90 Amps, Model# UB12900, again if power is out for a prolonged period of time. I use this system to charge the battery's during the day. In an emergency every little bit helps."

Solar Charger for 12 Volt batteries,
October 20, 2009
By Falconsfan
from Georgia
|
"I used this on my boat batteries. It worked great in keeping the batteries charged while not in use. I have since installed a 2 bank onboard charger, but I have installed the solar charger on my lawn tractor battery to keep it maintained through the winter months when it is used less. Everytime I need my mower, it starts up without the fear of a dead battery. Great product and easy to use with several battery connection options. I also like the fully automatic desulfator feature that dissolves life-shortening sulfate using safe low voltage high frequency pulses. This has help postpone me from buying a new mower battery."

solar charging system,
October 20, 2009
By pik107
from Chicago suburbs
|
"While I haven't used this item to its full capacity, I do have a 12 volt motorcycle battery connected. It seems to be working very well. In fact, I have it in my backyard shed, and it momentarilly powers the interior shed light. I am only in there for a minute or two at a time. I hope it doesn't damage the solar panel or other components, but it seems great for now. I do plan on connecting the other 12 volt batteries during the winter months, when they are not being used. Mounting and assembly was very easy."

15 Watt Solar Panel,
October 19, 2009
By vegasflash
from Live in Utah
|
"I have mounted this panel flat on the roof of my travel trailer with great results. Installation was easy. It charges and maintains two 12 volt batteries. The longest my batteries would last without it was 4-5 days while dry camping. It has extended my stays to 7 days, maybe more which includes using my ducted heating system.
I have used this item in warm to frigid climits with great success."

This thing works great!,
October 19, 2009
By HankinmO
from St Louis area
|
"I purchased this solar panel kit last May. Being a ham radio operator I was hoping to use it to provide emergency power for my equipment. It has exceeded my expectations. I now have full time off the grid station on the air. The panel will even charge on a cloudy day. Just recently we had 4 cloudy days in a row and this charger kit kept my station running for at least a few hours each evening."

Solar Ready!,
July 20, 2009
By RaySr
from Chicago,Ill
|
"Works incredibly well. Better than I expected. Surprised at the minimal amount of sunlight required to begin charging. I’m testing this in several applications. I’m using it to power & Charge most of my daily electronic equipment. I can’t believe, that for so many years I've been using & paying for unnecessary home electricity usage! This is definitely an asset for the go green mindset!"

Keep the RV Battery Charged,
July 20, 2009
By CamperJim
from Pickerington, OH
|
"I really have enjoyed using the BatteryMinder Solar Charging system to keep the battery in my travel trailer charged. I have been in campsites where I have no electric power and have used the BatteryMinder to keep my battery charged so I can run my pump, lights, gas water heater and gas refrigerator. I have been amazed how it works in rather dull light. It is really easy to set up and I can move it to get the best use of the sunlight. Other campers ask me how it works and I am happy to tell them that I have had success using it."

Great Product...Perfect Solution,
July 13, 2009
By Kriegsman
from Wausau, WI
|
"Bought this for a small hunting shack that is used periodically. Installation was simple and hassle free. I made my own bracket to mount on the roof. The charge controller has indicated max charging even on overcast days. I'm using a 300watt inverter to run two CFL's and wired in two outlets for a fan and radio. We've almost completly drained the 100amphour battery, but has been recharged within the next day. Better than paying someone else for electricity."
