Customer Reviews on this Product
Simon (10/08/2009)

Used this with a 40ah portable power pack in Northern Spain. It produced enough power to keep all the camping lamps and gadgets going

Simon (27/07/2009)

The specifications would suggest that this unit can drive 1.1 Amperes, but in practice this is not the case. In full British sunshine, a maximum of 800 milliAmperes can be driven through a flat battery. On the other hand, 800mA. are still driven through a fairly highly charged battery (in bright sunlight). Also, when set up semi-permanently outdoors, this unit will survive full British rainfall - but keep a series diode with the battery, just in case the panels develop an internal short-circuit!
