Description

This complete 12V solar charging kit gives you everything you need to keep your car battery topped up and your phone powered, even when you’re miles from the mains. Designed for beginners and DIY users, it includes the right solar panel, intelligent charge controller, mounting accessories, and clear setup instructions.

Perfect for:

• Maintaining or recharging 12V lead-acid car batteries (Sealed, AGM, Gel, or Flooded)
• Charging a small lead leisure battery for camping
• Powering or charging phones, tablets, and USB devices via the integrated 5V USB port
• Keep a generator starter battery topped up when not in use

Please note: This kit is only suitable for lead-acid batteries. It should not be used with lithium batteries as the charging profiles differ. If you’d like to charge a lithium leisure battery, please get in touch and we’ll help you choose the right setup.
