    I need a solar powered trickle charger which can be used out doors all year round, as the car is stored in the garage and only comes out every so often, but the battery has to be left on.. In the past I have had a solar changer on my little brothers first car sat on the dash, and it worked well keeping the battery full.. But my car is stored in the garage which has no windows, so the changer will have to go outside, so any one able to recommend one?

    Cheers

    Well I fitted one of these to the yacht last year. Has managed to keep 3 large leisure battery's topped up so that even when left 4 weeks between use it started with no issue.

    Anything that can last in a marine environment can last hung up outside your garage :)
