12 volt solar charger

[Pooh]

has any one out there made their own solar charger? if so how did you do it? im looking to maintain the 12 volt battery in my fish house for weekend outings, as to not have to drag the battery into town to charge it every weekend.

Head over to Northern Tool, they have the whole setup for you.

They have a very small output like 350mAmps or 5 watts

It depends on how many amps you are going to use in say a 12 hour period.Manufactured solar panels come in to numerous to list here configurations but the smaller type only maintain the charge in your batteries.You can get larger panels but the cost to watts output is better put to a ac gas powered generator.Remember you only charge when the sun is up.Hope this helps.c63
