Q:i have 2 lighter adapters that stay on when vehicle is off, can i plug one in each lighter adapter for extra charging or is not recommended to have 2 running to the battery simultaneously?
by|Feb 23, 2024

Answer This Question

A:  Yes, you can use both 1.5W solar panel maintainers simultaneously. Solar panel maintainers are designed to provide a small, steady charge to a battery, which compensates for the natural battery discharge when a vehicle is not in use. If you have two lighter adapters that stay on when the vehicle is off, they can plug one solar panel maintainer into each adapter. Using two solar panel maintainers will not harm the battery, using two maintainers can provide a slightly faster charge or better compensate for battery discharge, especially in vehicles with higher power demands or in less sunny conditions. please feel free to contact Nature Power tech support for any additional questions, phone number 1800-588-0590

      Q:will this drain the battery at night?
      by|Dec 20, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Rest assured that this will not occur. The solar panel maintainer is designed with a built-in diode which prevents the battery from draining. This panel is equipped with an LED diode (indicated by a blue light) that allows the current to flow in one direction only - from the panel to the battery. If the current attempts to flow back to the panel during the night, it will be blocked by this diode. Therefore, you can be confident that your battery will not be drained by the solar panel at night. For any additional questions, please call Nature Power Tech support at 1800-588*-0590.

        Answer This Question

        A:  This is an Amorphous type of solar panel, it will charge in any light condition, even your house lights. However, this solar panel is only a battery maintainer, it is only a 1.5W. It maintains a fully charged battery, used for the sole purpose of maintaining a fully charged battery in storage. It will not provide any significant charge enough to charge any battery. The number of amps lost by the battery on a daily basis, will be equal or less than what this panel can provide. if the battery discharge is more than what this panel gives you, then your battery will eventually go down. So, it only prolongs the life of a full battery. it really not designed to give you charge into battery but rather, maintaining a fully charged battery. If you are looking for a solar system to run a house or a business, please feel free to contact Nature Power customer service/ tech support line at 1800-588-0590. for any questions. Our hours of operation are Monday Through Friday, 9AM to 5PM Eastern standard time.

            Q:Will any 12V Cigarette socket on my car work, even if the car is OFF? Won't the socket disconnect from the battery when the car is OFF?
            by|Sep 7, 2022
            1 Answer
            Answer This Question

            A:  In order to use the 12V plug inside the car to connect to battery, this plug should be hot wired to the battery. meaning, the DC-cigarette lighter plug stays working even while the car is off, otherwise, the only way to connect, is directly to your battery. The blue light should stay on anytime enough light hits the panel, and sometimes becomes brighter when connected to a battery. If the blue LED light goes off when you connect to a battery, this means that you have a short circuit issue in the wire to the battery or your battery is depleted. Please feel free contact our customer service department at 1800-588-0590 (9AM-5PM, Est time) for any questions or concerns.

              Q:would this work with an infrared illuminator?
              by|Jun 16, 2022
              1 Answer
              Answer This Question

              A:  This panel will not give you any sizable charge in your battery. It will maintain a battery that is fully charged already, if the battery discharge is more than what this panel gives you, then your battery will eventually go down. it only prolongs the life of a full battery. it really not designed to give you charge into battery other than maintaining a full battery. depending on how long you plan to operate the light, you probably will need at least a 15W with a charge controller. Please feel free to call the Nature Power tech support and customer service line at 1800-588-0590. (9AM-5PM, Est time) for any questions or concerns.

                      A:  Not recommended for your planned usage. It is not waterproof and the quality is marginal for your planned usage. It is better to use as a battery charge topper during storage of your equipment.

                      A:  I would say no, I use mine on a power boat and the part that go's bad first is the connectors, they corrode from the salt air. The panel works great.
