Pros
Overall size 4.33" x 3.15" x 0.125" (110mm x 80mm x 3.2mm)
Nice solar panel! Very easy. You only get a solar panel connected to a red wire and a black wire (+ and -). Works well, the output voltage is 9V as advertised. Very inexpensive! At Radioshack's online store, lower voltage solar panels cost twice as much, if not more! I recommend.
Attention! This device is for hobbyists >> has NO blocking diode. If you are building a solar airplane or a ground vehicle. It does not matter. You want 100% of what he can give. You need a blocking diode to charge the battery, otherwise your battery pack will supply around 12 mA around the clock. Just drain your 175mAh DC 8.4V battery while you sleep. Now RS "still" suggests that we're a bunch of fools I guess. Didn't even mention the lack of a blocking diode. Next I put a 3 cent 1N4007…
