Solar power is continuously gaining momentum and popularity. There are now solar chargers designed to power cell-phones, cars, laptops, etc. The solar charger harnesses energy form the sun and stores the energy within its battery for later use.
Typically, a solar charger can hold on to its charge for up to a year. The advantage to using a solar charger is that it eliminates all of those unnecessary, bulky chargers for every electronic device.
It may be difficult to choose between the best solar chargers because there are a lot of great models out there that basically perform the same functions. Upon being fully charged, the solar charger can fill a cell-phone’s life twice or play up to twenty hours of music.

A 5 watt solar panel is good for operating a multitude of different products. Automatic animal feeders and electric gates are two examples of products that make use of 5 watt solar panels. In some instances, this particular wattage solar panel is used for charging three, six, and twelve-volt batteries. Unlike common battery chargers which are plugged into an electrical outlet, solar panels are meant to be used during power outages or other scenarios where electricity is not available.
Present-day technology offers a world of conveniences. Many of these products are operated by batteries, electric current, or both. However, there are many different types of batteries to choose from. The product itself will have markings or enclosed directions stating what type of battery to use. People who take camping trips or have simply decided to use an alternate form of energy benefit greatly from 5 watt solar panels.

The Wagan 2017 Solar Car Battery Charger is a preventative tool meant to be used in conjunction with cars that have working batteries, but may suffer from slow discharge due to not being used. The charger connects to the car’s 12-volt DC socket or cigarette lighter socket. It can then be left on the dash of cars that receive direct sunlight. The mono-crystalline cells are highly efficient and made to work behind windshield glass even on overcast days.
Ease-of-Use – The Wagan 2017 is very simple to use, but if not used properly, it will not work. There are several prerequisites that must be met before it can be expected to work at all. The first requirement is the 12-volt DC socket must be operable while the ignition is off. The second requirement is the car must be outdoors and receive direct sunlight at least part of the day.
As long as those two conditions are met, you just plug it in and set it on the dashboard. It doesn’t get easier than that. There is one fact that is true of all 12-volt socket electronics. 12-volt vehicle sockets are very susceptible to corrosion and this may prevent an instant connection. You may have to wiggle the plug slightly until the indicator light displays that the connection has been made.
