Description

Overview

12V 1.5W solar panel maintains 12V lead acid batteries in vehicles, trailers, caravans and equipment that sit unused for extended periods. The amorphous panel helps offset small standby drains from clocks, alarms, radios and onboard electronics. Because it provides maintenance charging only, use it on serviceable batteries rather than flat or failed batteries.

Features

• 1.5W amorphous solar panel for 12V battery maintenance.
• Includes cable connection for simple plug-in use with compatible 12V sockets.
• Flashing LED indicator shows when the panel is producing charge.
• Built-in blocking diode helps prevent reverse discharge at night.

Specifications and Materials

This 12V 1.5W solar panel uses amorphous solar cell technology and suits maintenance charging for 12V lead acid batteries. Part number: SPA100. Rated output is 1.5W at 1000W/m² and 25°C, with 13-15V peak power voltage, 90-105mA peak power current and 115mA short circuit current. It suits maintenance use on 100-550CCA automotive batteries, 150-600MCA marine batteries and 7-40Ah deep cycle batteries.

Compatibility and Fitment

Check that the battery is a 12V lead acid battery before use. The vehicle socket also needs a permanent battery connection if charging through a cigarette lighter or accessory socket. If the socket switches off with the ignition, direct battery connection or auto electrical wiring changes may be required.

Compliance and Safety

Keep sparks and flames away from lead acid batteries, and wear eye protection when working near battery terminals. Secure or stow the panel before driving, because loose items can become a hazard under hard braking. Also keep the glass surface clean and avoid placing the unit where weather exposure can damage the control circuit.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use a 12V 1.5W solar panel for stored trailers, service vehicles, caravans, utes, boats and equipment with light standby battery drain. It helps maintain battery condition between uses, especially when the vehicle or trailer sits parked in a sunny location for long periods.
