Guess you should reserve judgement until after the 3 weeks is up ?

Agree it's a well built piece of kit - mine started working (helpful blue light flashing) when removed from the packaging indoors under some dimly lit wall lights, so should provide a drip charge from around 6.30am till 7pm maybe

For £20ish quid. I've grabbed one too. I have a few cars and one of the biggest issues is accidentally draining a battery by not charging them, particularly if not using them much!

Unplugged the solar panel as you do.

I've left mine on the rear shelf now held in place with some Velcro tabs and just trail the lead to the front - no issue as I'm usually the only one driving it.

I guess the only downside is that it looks a bit like a tablet to the light fingered fraternity.
