Anyone using a solar battery tender?

[BigBlackSupra]

Hi,

So im in a situation where for the next year or so, i wont be able to plug my ctek battery tender to keep the battery from draining. Im still going to be driving my car, so removing the battery while away from an outlet isnt an option.

Ive heard about solar powered battery tenders but was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them and/or recommendations?

I use them on older vehicles that don’t have much draw, but it would be woefully inadequate for the Supra.

I use them on motorbikes. I have 3 hooked up. They did their job for the last 6 years to be honest.
And I'm in the UK, so not a massive amount of sun all the time.

You might want to do some calculation over battery capacity, but probably a 40 or 80W (not the stuff you put on the dashboard) panel would keep the battery topped up if you live in an area where they get enough sunlight.
