Anyone have thoughts on one of these? Broken Link Removed

Appreciate only 10w but any good for hooking up to leisure battery as shown in pictures to “top up” or not worth it?

Bit new to this so any advice is good.

Thanks

10 watts is not really enough to bother with and at £3.50 per watt not good value either.

Better have a few 100 watts on the roof.

£80 currently buys you around 100watt panel and a cheap controller. So for just over double your money get a proper panel (I am about to fit one bought from another Funster that upgraded). Admittedly it costs more for nice brackets and cable clips and plugs etc....

What would you recommend for a portable solution? I take your point above and would be prepared to spend the right money for the right setup.

Thanks

Just one of many avaliable. simply crocodile clips to your battery and no set up required. this will sort you out if you dont want panels on your roof

I have something similar but an AA panel and I hook it up to my car while we’re away to keep the battery topped up...

Not worth it for MH..

See Camping Gaza link as an example - BUT beware the clips can produce sparks when moved or put on and off. No drama, so long as nothing flammable in vicinity...….. like a faulty overcharged leisure battery? Small risk, but just be aware of the croc clips issue.
