Purkeys’ solar dashboard charging system

Mar 3, 2017

Purkeys’ Solar Dash Charging System is designed to help counteract parasitic loads and to help avoid jump starts by keeping vehicle batteries at a good state of charge when the vehicle is inactive. The portable system comes with a 20-watt solar panel, a conversion controller and an adapter that plugs directly into a 12-volt power port.
