Battery Tender 5W Solar Charger / Maintainer

It is well made. And solved constant problems with a weak and discharged battery for a year. Now I can't start my car for weeks and it starts right away. Great product and works well.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • No

Easy to set up and keep your battery charged!

Plug this into my OBD-II port on a 2019 Sprinter. Keeps the battery charged only from the sun. No need for electricity. I recommend the product because of the ease of use!

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

This really worked for me.

SUV parked in Wisconsin, cold winter and gloomy sun draining the battery. This connected to the diagnostic socket and kept the battery charged. No more pulling an extension cord through the snow to charge the battery.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Expensive

Worked on our Honda CR-V 05

They have a 2005 Honda CR-V with a battery that's "well tested" but after sitting in a college parking lot all week it's dead . Recently installed this solar charger with OBD2 connector adapter. Even with minus weather the whole week the car started without any problems! So happy about that!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Empty

Didn't receive all accessories

I needed a solar battery charger and when I saw this it came with a handlebar mount and OBD II connectors, that would be a good buy. But when I received the package it was not there. I needed a handlebar mount so I could mount it on my bike. So I paid more for it thinking it would be included. If that were the case, I would pay less for the solar charger alone.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'll write back

Seems to work great, LED is a bit weak for what it does

Finally installed last weekend. Seems to work as advertised, I put my multimeter on it and in full sun saw a panel output of 13.3v to 16v. The only problem I had was having to pull out my multimeter to see if it worked. because the LED light is too dim to see when it has enough sun for it to work. Even when I shielded the LED from the sun a bit with my hand, it was really too hard to see if it was on or blinking. But aside from that little sophistication, I like it.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad

Very happy! Would buy again.

Just got it but I'm already happy; as long as he does what he does! My motorcycle battery didn't have enough charge to start. I ordered it and hooked it up right away. A few days later, my bike huffed and puffed a bit, but started right away. Now it just stays connected. I did not use suction cups or connecting cables. Although I like the options. I recommend and buy again.

Pros
  • Starters, Chargers & Portable Power Supplies
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

The perfect solution for battery maintenance during a pandemic

This solar charger was the perfect solution for battery draining during a pandemic. Between infrequent short drives and phantom discharges from alarms and other systems, my fairly new battery kept failing me. After connecting this charger to my OBDII socket, the problem is solved! The cigarette lighter/socket was not present in my vehicle so be sure to check. The panel is thin enough that I can slide it between the sunroof and sunshade panel, giving it good coverage for most of the day and easy

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Available in white only

does the job. for battery chargers

I am the happy owner of a Battery Tender Plus which I use on a show car in my garage. So when I was looking for a solar maintenance device, it was an obvious choice for me to try this Deltran product. I bought this for my former commuter car which has become a 'monthly car' due to COVID-19 when my company moved from home to work. As I don't drive much due to blockages, I noticed that the engine is starting to slow down as temperatures drop earlier this winter. This product seems to take over…

Pros
  • Tools and Equipment
Cons
  • Weight
