[Spridgets] solar battery charger

[Red Midget]

I have one in use on my junk truck.  It keeps me from having to bump start or
jump it when I make a run to the dump or lumber yard every couple of weeks. 
Only paid $16 for it at Lowe$ on markdown.  I may get another to hook to the
tracktor and place the panel in the shed window.

Seeking the wisdom - or at least experience - of the list.  ;-)

Have any of
you tried using a solar battery charger just to maintain
the battery on rarely
driven cars or through the winter hibernation?
I'm thinking this might be a
better option than having a wall wart
transformer plugged in constantly and
the required extension cable
always under foot.

There's not a lot of sunlight
in my garage but certainly enough for my
solar calculator so I'm guessing it'd
be sufficient to trickle charge
a battery.

Any opinions/advice on this
subject?
