The Quest Solar Technology 8W Fold Up Solar Panel is designed to keep your 12V battery charged and prevent it from discharging over time, making it ideal for cars, vans, motorhomes, caravans, boats, and similar vehicles. It connects directly to the battery without requiring a charge controller, except for batteries under 60A. Featuring twin crystalline solar panels, it folds compactly to 230 x 198 x 15mm for easy storage, such as in a glove box. The panel provides sufficient power to maintain battery charge, eliminates reverse current drain, and offers connection options via a 12V auto plug or crocodile clips. Supplied rubber suction cups allow secure mounting on a vehicle’s windscreen, and it can be positioned indoors or outdoors as long as it faces sunlight.
