Hi all, would this be any good for keeping the battery charged (for those of us that don't have electricity in our garages)...?? It looks a bit...cheap?!

Cheers

these were on sale in our local asda for a tenner a couple of months back.

a mate of mine bought one but in his opinion is a complete waste of time.

I think Soulkiss had one on his bike which actually drained his battery

Was his battery trickle charging the sun?

Anyone got any experience of using one with a cage? My car gets hardly any use, but has to be parked on the road. I'm worried that in the cold weather I'll go to start it and find the battery deaded.
