NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: 10W SOLAR BATTERY MAINTAINER KIT
12th Jun 2020
You may have a 400W solar system for your trailer, but it won’t help starting your vehicle if your car battery is dead. To avoid that from happening, having a battery maintainer kit could be quite helpful.
What is a battery maintainer?
A battery maintainer is designed to charge the battery with a small amount of electricity for a relatively long period. It is also known as trickle charging.
What is the maintainer for?
Unlike your everyday phone battery, if a car battery is dead, it is not something you could easily recharge by plugging it into the wall. That is when a battery maintainer will come in handy. With proper maintenance, the battery could last for over five years. While poorly managed battery may have a lifespan less than two years.
The maintainer can help you to keep the battery at its optimal level and potential extends its lifespan.
By having a maintainer, not only it will save you from replacing the battery more frequently, it also reduces the chance of the battery going flat when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Components of the Kit
The battery maintainer kit comes with a 10W Mono-crystalline panel with pre-attached 3ft Anderson connector, one Alligator Clip Cable, one cigarette lighter adaptor, and 8 suction cups.
It uses solar power to trickle charge the battery. The 10W panel will keep a steady power inflow to counter the self-discharge made by the battery, while not large enough to cause overcharging of the battery. It is especially useful if the battery is going to sit without charging for a while.
The alligator clip allows you to connect the panel and the battery directly for charging. You could also choose to charge the car battery by using the cigarette lighter. Unlike the traditional metal bracket, the suction cups are used for easy mounting. The flexibility allows you to move the panel around for maximum sunlight. No fixed installation means the kit can be easily relocated so that you could charge a variety of different batteries.
Overall
Despite the small wattage, the kit is essential for keeping your battery at its optimal level. It is perfect for maintaining batteries of RVs, fences, boats and many more applications.
