ICP Sunsei Trickle Charging Solar Kits - A Smart Purchase

If you have a recreational battery, boat or van that is used occasionally or sits for long periods of time without running, there is always the problem of battery drain. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs as a result of the electrical items that are still running even when the vehicle is off. These items, like clocks and alarms, are all using the starter battery for power and this causes the battery to drain. The amount of drainage depends on the age, condition and model of the battery.

The ICP Sunsei trickle charging solar kit replaces this normal drain on the battery in a continual manner. The panel is made with amorphous silicone which absorbs the energy for the sunlight, coverts it to electricity and uses it to replenish the power drain on the starter battery. This guarantees that the starter battery is always fully charged which increases the life of the battery.

These trickle charge battery kits are easy to install and simple to operate. The panel must be mounted on a flat surface where it is exposed to sunlight. There are different mounting options and none of them involves drilling into the roof of the vehicle. The unit can rotate 360° to increase the amount of solar power. There is no problem with the solar panel being exposed to the weather since it is weather resistant.

The kits are all inclusive including everything that the user needs for installation, including the screws, clamps and cables. A charge regulator is included in the 18W and 36W kits. There is a built in diode to protect against reverse current drains on the battery in non-sunlight conditions. A light on the panel indicates when the unit is charging the battery.

The ICP Sunsei trickle charging solar kit is available in different output levels and can be found at a wide variety of online and land-based outlets. As usual, the consumer should check around for the best price.
