Duo Charger Solar 10 Watt

This solar charger is the “brain” in the new line of OptiMate Solar™ modular charge kits; Includes a 10W weatherproof solar panel and a smart OptiMate Solar combination charger-monitor controller that charges & maintains a 12V battery during the day and monitors and displays the battery state of charge at night; The solar panel’s wide spectrum poly-crystalline technology generates power even in low light, that the OptiMate controller converts into high current pulses more effective for charging and maintenance of a 12V battery; At night the smart controller turns into a battery monitor, providing battery information every 3 seconds on the easy to read 3 LED panel; Saves flat batteries from as low as 1V with its unique pulse action; Battery condition is displayed every 3 seconds and draws less than 0.5 mA during monitor mode; Automatically switches to charge when solar power is sufficient; The OptiMate charger-monitor controller is separate to the solar panel and can be placed close to the vehicle or battery so that charge and maintenance progress can be easily followed; The solar panel must be mounted and angled to receive direct sunlight; Reach/distance between battery and panel is 124″; Outer dimension, including corner mount brackets: Width = 11-1/2” Height = 12-3/4” Depth = 1“
