Solar energy for the car battery?
In college, I have to park outside, you can get almost everything on foot, and no money for petrol anyway. My parents will not drive Me Down though, so that my car spends long forgotten in a nearby parking lot. As I discovered recently, the battery tends to disappear. I say to disconnect from a terminal does not really work, and using the jump start every month or so it can not be the greatest idea. I hear that there Trickle solar chargers that you stick in the window. Some of them are pretty cheap, so I wondered if anyone had, and what they thought. It seems it would take quite a portion Large panel for much that is worth doing, so I'd like to know how big yours is, and if you actually work for you or not.
Yes, are available, and are less expensive than a call tow truck. It is necessary to do some serious comparison shopping, since they are expensive. I know Harbor Freight Tools (in the western USA) are sold. I do not know the quality, however. Most of their stuff is imported from lower cost providers. http://www.harborfreight.com/
