This product is perfect for my wife's car. Her car just sits there and is hardly ever used. Before this the battery would run down. Now it''s always up and starts the car immediately.
Pros: Sturdy, Easy to Install, Easy to Move, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've had one panel for over a year charging the two batteries in my stored RV (isolated each battery with additional blocking diodes), but I just bought a second solar panel so that I could charge the batteries individually, because the lower-voltage battery will suck up all the current. With the panel in full sunlight, I measured 220mA going into a fully-charged battery. Just remember to clean the panel periodically -- it won't work well covered with dirt!
Pros: Durable, Sturdy
Yes, I recommend this product.

I researched this product on the internet. Several companies market the exact same product, but Home deport had the best price and I did not have to pay for shipping! I have been checking my battery with a volt meter and this solar panel keeps my boat battery charged up and no problems.
Pros: Easy to Install, Easy to Move, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

So far after 24 hrs. the panel has not charged the motor gate in my driveway. The instructions were to install the panel above the gate, but the online instructions were different. So, we are working on it, and I hope I do not have to return it.
No, I do not recommend this product.
