Tools and Hardware Reviews of Coleman CL-300 Solar 4.5-Watt 12-Volt Deep-Cycle Battery Charger
Customer Review: Description is deceptive - device is not for outdoor use.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this device to top up the battery on my utility trailer. My intention was to permanently mount it to the roof.
The ad copy clearly states "Weatherproof / Water resistant" but the instructions state that it is not suitable for outdoor use. I am returning it.
Please note, my 1 star rating is for the deceptive ad, not the device itself. It may work just fine on a dashboard or back window of a car - I did not test it at all.
Customer Review: Coleman Solar Charger 300 mA
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sure item works. It could be too small for what I am using it for. I'm trying to use it as a trickle charger to maintain a battery in our camping trailer while it sits idle over the winter. It may be too small for this job. The less than one year old battery is not maintaining its strength with nothing running.
It is currently not connected directly to the battery but through a cigarette lighter type outlet inside the camper. Charger sits in the window of the camper facing south all day. I may try direct connecting it to the battery and placing charger outside camper (in the weather) to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, I guess it was a waste of money.
ps: The only thing running off the battery is the smoke/CO2 detector.
