Was just in MTF. Summer products clearance. 50% off!
Coleman CL-300 solar panel. $20! Normally 40. Not huge power (300ma), but enough to stop a live battery from dying due to parasitic loads. |

Mondo troublemaking f**kers. :/
Honestly? No idea! Mtf is like the clearance place for Costco. It's the location right by Lordco Scott road that I go to. |

Ok - just got home and cracked the package open. Comes with a plug to let you plug it into your cig lighter, a female cig lighter socket to plug something directly into it, and another with alligator clamps. Also comes with an "X" frame/holder thingy. Panel mounts to it, then it can get clamped onto whatever with it's various clamps and stuff. Panel itself outputs 300ma at 15V. 4.5 Watts. Has an internal diode to prevent battery DIScharge at night etc. |

Actually no. I bought one when Home Depot had them for $16.00 (quite a few years back). Unless you get very clear long sunlight days (summer), it doesn't put out enough juice to trickle charge a Fiero battery.
Probably okay for a motorcycle or ATV battery. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
