I purchased the Goal Zero 12V Solar to keep my lawn equipment 12 volt batteries charged, as well as to take camping. I usually camp out of my van and use a sealed 12 volt portable battery power pack for powering and recharging smaller devices such as DVD player, fans, iPhone and iPad. The 12 volt sealed battery has a USB port, 12 volt cigarette lighter style plug-in, and two standard 120 volt electrical outlets (unit has a built in converter). You cannot directly recharge smaller devices such as an iPhone or iPad from the Goal Zero 12V Solar, only 12 volt batteries. Therefore, I use the Goal Zero to recharge the sealed 12 volt power pack, serving to recharge the smaller devices. I modified the Goal Zero unit so that I have the ability to use multiple types of battery re-charging connector attachments, in addition to the typical battery positive and negative clamp-type supplied with the unit. I also wired a quick connect on the Goal Zero supply line, and then each of the battery attachments. Specifically, I wired a cigarette lighter style plug for recharging the sealed 12 volt battery pack since it does not have exposed terminals allowing the use of the positive/negative clamp style. If you attempt unit line or attachment modifications on the Goal Zero, make sure that you understand basic electrical principals to ensure that your wiring modification has the proper polarity. This can be done with simple testing equipment.The unit seems to be well constructed and tough. Nice size for van camping. It fits on the dash or can be placed on the roof or along side the vehicle.
I tested it on a lawn tractor that I don't use very often. It sat unstarted for weeks. The unit fully charged the battery within a few hours on a sunny day. The Goal Zero 12V Solar can be left attached to your battery to keep it constantly charged. You may also string additional panels. Very nice!
