I don't think those solar chargers work very well.
I got a AA one with ODB socket and battery socket. I connected it to a spare battery in the garage and over a week I checked the voltage in the battery. Day one the battery was as 10 volts. By day 7 it was was 11.5. The battery is less than 6 months old, so its not the battery. Guy, You can buy 12v solar charger control units for caravans and such. I think one of them will work fine connected to the battery correctly.

They are not exactly meant for charging batteries, only to keep it charged. If it provides 0.5 amps on a good bright day then to get 95ah battery from 10-90% charge wold take over 150hrs if it was charging with 100% efficiency. My 3.8A mains charger takes 2.5 days to charge from 25% to 90%.
Edit Just had a quick look at the AA one and it only provides up to 0.2A and up to 12.7V sit it will probably never get battery charged but should help to keep it charged.
