Solar Battery Charger
July 6th, 2009 | Author: admincato
A solar battery charger is a way to recharge you household batteries or your car battery without adding any pollutants to the atmosphere. They work on the same principle that all other solar powered device work and that is harnessing the renewable energy of the sun to create electricity.
There are many chargers out there in the market place. Most of them are for your car. A good number of them offer the trickle charge at 12 volts. This does not sound too efficient but a long slow charge is the best way to charge a battery. The battery will also keep this charge longer that a quick charge. These convenient solar battery chargers are foldable and easy to store when not in use. Most are powerful enough to charge your battery while sitting on the dashboard. The windshields glass will not hamper the function and this charger and it is safe from theft.
There are also solar battery chargers that provide 24 and 48 volts for charging those larger batteries but they are more expensive.
For those of you that have hybrid cars a thought has come to mind. On your dash and in the back window would be a perfect place for these inexpensive chargers. With prices as low as $60 this power source offsets the power drain on your battery and will give you extended mileage. This would not only make your hybrid car a gas, electric vehicle but also a solar car.
Most of these charges plug into that seldom used cigarette lighter but they can be hard wired into the cars electrical system for improved looks.
A solar battery charger is more useful than you first thought it would be. This type of charger may be used year around to keep your car battery at full charge at all times. In the winter you are going to be real glad to have the extra cranking power available that a solar battery charger will provide.
