 Disappointing - especially from Coleman November 23, 2008
J. Griffith (in Fresno!)
The product description states clearly that this little device can be used in all weather conditions.
When unpacked, this does not appear to be the case, and when you read the instructions, on the bottom of the page in small print it says that the product in NOT to be used outdoors unprotected!
For a device that is meant to keep a battery 'topped up', typically devices that are not near shelter (snow blowers, tractors, automatic entrance gates, etc) this seems like a fatal design flaw!
Other than that - the device seems to work fine as a trickle charger.
NOT WEATHERPROOF February 28, 2008

Regardless of what the Amazon listing says (and I asked them to change it over a month ago and still haven't) this product is NOT weatherproof. When you open the package the literature about the product specifically states that it is "not for use outdoors". You have to pay more to get a weatherproof model.
This is not a charger. June 18, 2007

I purchased one of these in the hope it could trickle-charge a car battery over a few days. It won't. It produces such a small current in full sunlight that it can only maintain the existing charge of a battery. If you have a flat battery and you leave this plugged in for a few days, you'll still have a flat battery.
dont buy it to charge May 14, 2007
