MJ , You got me on that one ...hahahahahahahaha
What i meant to say was that it actually seemed well built and would be perfectly suitable for my "part time " usage .... It did seem pretty INEXPENSIVE , so I figured it might be a POS, but it looks good ... Hey , I dunno '!!! The real test will come soon (hopefully not )...<30 days

Okay, I just got back from camping last night. Used the lights, dvd player and radio like I typically do when camping. Checked the current output on the solar panel this morning and noticed that it was only 0.3 amps. Messed with the panel position and couldn't get it to put out anymore current and was concerned because its a 5 amp panel. Realized that the battery was nearly charged and that's why it was only drawing 0.3 amps. So the battery was charged by 11:30 a.m.! Solar panels are cool!
