12V solar battery maintenance

Keep your battery ready between adventures

When your caravan, camper trailer or vehicle is parked between trips, a small solar kit can help maintain its 12V battery while it has access to sunlight. Explore a simple solution for equipment that spends time in storage.

Made for the time between uses

Battery maintenance is a different job from running appliances on a camping trip. A compact panel can be a practical choice when the goal is to support a stored 12V battery.

Caravans & motorhomes

Support the battery while your van is parked and waiting for its next journey.

Camper trailers

Keep a maintenance kit in mind for trailers that sit between weekends away.

Vehicles

Consider a small solar setup for a 12V battery in a vehicle that is used infrequently.

Mowers & machinery

Maintain a suitable 12V battery in seasonal equipment stored where a panel can receive sun.

Check these three things first

The right maintenance setup depends on the battery, the connection and the conditions where your equipment is stored.

01 / Battery

Confirm your battery

This featured kit is for 12V systems. Check your battery type and its charging requirements against the regulator before connecting it.

02 / Connection

Check how you will connect

Review the included Anderson style plug or battery clips and confirm that the lead will reach your battery position.

03 / Sunlight

Plan the panel position

The panel needs access to sunlight. A caravan cover, garage or deep shade can prevent it from providing useful charging.

Common questions

Is 35W enough to run my caravan?

This kit is presented as a battery maintenance charger. If you want to power appliances, choose a system based on their daily energy use instead.

Can I use it with a battery other than 12V?

The included regulator is specified for 12V. Check the voltage and charging requirements of your battery before ordering.

Can I leave the panel inside a covered caravan?

A panel needs usable sunlight to charge. Check where you can position it securely while the caravan or vehicle is stored.
