Did some searching, haven't found any topics discussing this. Will edit/close this thread if I find a better discussion.
Does anyone have any experience with solar battery tenders on their rigs? I have some pretty expensive batteries in my rig and sometimes it'll sit for a few weeks. This can happen for a myriad of reasons, but if moonshine isn't sitting, my tow rig is, and the question applies to it too.
After a few weeks, the batteries get low, and I'm interested in a solar battery tender to keep them topped up. Are they garbage? Seems like an easy solution, almost too easy, and cheaper than building two dedicated solar systems, one for each of my trucks.
Thinking 2-5w is plenty to keep the batteries maintained.
