Frequently Asked Questions - Astron Booster Solar Panel

Question:

Hi, Is it possible to buy a Y connector from you for an Evo Elite 12V solar panel? Its because i have an extra one that is excess to requirements and I thought rather than throw it away i would use it with the existing one i have for extra battery charge. thanks Kind regds Paul Hulse

Answer:

This is not possible I am afraid the panel will only work with the light it is intended for and can only have one panel at a time. 

Question:

I am considering purchasing a Smart solar Wychwoods falls water feature, but reading reviews have differing comments about working in poor light. I have previously purchased 2 x EVO SMD security lights from you and was wondering if you the booster Panel would allow the feature to run on duller days or would this require a battery type storage

Answer:

We don't stock that water feature so we're unaway of the specifcations however the Astron Booster is a 12v solar panel so may be compatible with it.

Question:

hi i want to connect my astron booster panel to a 12 volt car battery do i need a charge controller or just connect the plus and minus to the battery terminals

Answer:

Correct, you'd need a charge controller to manage the power output of the panel.

Question:

you say this can trickle charge a 12V battery (I presume Car Battery), what Ah size Battery and at what rate? please
By Chris Peeling on Oct 5,2016

Answer:

The Ah of the battery does not matter as this simply refers to the maximum capacity of the battery.  The panel in optimum conditions will provide 10watts of power into a 12 v battery per hr.  In summer you can expect this panel to produce 65watts per day and in winter 15 watts per day.

Question:

The booster panel comes with a "Y" connector to give another socket for another cable. If you do not have a connector with your booster panel please contact: [email protected]
