| New remote solar charger line ICP Solar Technologies and The Coleman Company have launched the Coleman line of portable solar chargers, designed to provide backup or primary power for vehicles such as automobiles, boats, RVs and for remote living applications. The line includes five models for a range of applications, plus an intelligent charge controller to ensure batteries reach maximum capacity. All chargers come with plug'n'play for quick connections, a cigarette lighter adaptor and battery clamps for maximum convenience. For smaller needs, the CL-100 and CL-300 chargers are designed to provide a trickle charge upon immediate exposure to sunlight, even through windows or windshields. The CL-100 provides 100 milliAmps of charging power to maintain and extend the life of vehicle batteries and can mount on windshields or dashboards for maximum convenience. The CL-300, which is fully weatherproof, provides 300 mA of charging power to maintain the 12-volt charging systems in small RVs, tractors and remote devices like gate controllers, including automotive, deep cycle, traction, gel-cell and heavy-duty batteries. For applications requiring more power, ICP Solar and Coleman will offer the CL-600, CL-1200 and CL-3600 chargers, all of which are fully weatherproof, and the CC-4000 charge controller. The CL-600, with 600 mA of power, was designed to work with medium-sized RVs, boats and remote applications. The CL-1200, with a full 1.2 Amps of power, works for larger RVs, sailboats and remote cabins where grid power isn't available. The CL-3600 is a kit that includes three CL-1200 panels for 3.6 total Amps and the CC-4000 charge controller, an intelligent device that controls the flow of current to batteries, ensuring they are optimally maintained. This system keeps RV, boat, mobile home or cottage batteries charged to run small appliances such as fluorescent lights, coolers, TVs, PCs or laptops. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
