Solar charging panel preserves the vehicle's battery.
Keeping vehicles charged and at the ready can be a continuing challenge for law enforcement and other fleet vehicle managers, whose cars, ambulances and trucks are equipped with numerous electronics such as lights, radios and computers. When these vehicles are turned off, the amp demand of on-board electronics can eventually drain batteries to the point where the vehicles will not be able to start.
The new Streamlight SolarStream(TM) is a supplemental solar charging panel designed to help compensate for the natural discharge and parasitic drains on a vehicle's battery. A thin-film amorphous silicon charging panel, the Streamlight SolarStream securely adheres to a vehicle's roof or other contoured surfaces, and allows for 14 watts per hour of maximum power in full sunlight.
The new charging system works by dispensing up to one amp of current to the vehicle's battery, preventing it from draining completely and reducing the need for jump-statts and...
