Always ready with our OB2 solar module!
The trickle battery is a crucial component in off-grid systems, where it stores energy and provides a reliable power supply, especially when no external power source is available. Its robust design and intelligent charging technology ensure a continuous power supply for various applications, such as lighting, communication, and security, even far from the main power supply.
The Bear Squat website subjected various chargers to extensive testing. In addition to conventional chargers powered by standard wall outlets, solutions for trickle charging without a direct wall connection – namely, those based on solar power – were also examined. In these tests, the OBD2 solar module proved highly successful and offered a number of notable advantages:
- Simple installation: The solar panel is placed behind the windshield and connected via the OBD2 port, allowing for easy installation.
- Using the OBD2 interface: The module uses the vehicle's OBD2 interface as a power source, ensuring broad compatibility.
- Effective maintenance charge: With 13 watts, it delivers a constant, low charge even in favorable lighting conditions to keep the battery at a balanced level.
- Dependence on lighting conditions: The effectiveness depends on the lighting conditions, with direct sunlight ensuring a stable charge.
The OBD2 solar panel is a practical solution for RV owners to maintain their batteries, especially during extended periods of inactivity or sporadic use. Its off-grid functionality allows for independent outdoor use, which is particularly helpful for those who enjoy exploring remote locations and rely on a dependable power supply. With this solar panel, batteries can be optimally maintained and preserved even in remote areas.
