[Shop-talk] Solar car battery chargers

[Arvid Jedlicka]

I have also used the BatteryMinder products with great success on the MR2's 
and the GSXR. Having said that, I have a truck that I use every three to six 
months and it could use a batter maintainer but it is not in a location 
where an outlet is readily available.

Therefore my question is "has anyone had any experience with the solar 
powered ones to either recommend it or say it is not worth the time or money 
given that a 120v outlet is not handy?"

Thanks,
Arvid
