Can Solar Car Chargers Work Without Having The Key To The Car Turned To Accessory
Posted in Car Batteries | Asked on Jun 3, 2010
I am installing a solar trickle charger in my car thinking. Most of them have a cigarette lighter plug-in for easy Installation.Aber I’m not sure that they actually charge the battery. I can not get power to the cigarette lighter plug-ins, without turning the key to “accessories“. If I were in a solar charger plug, I fear that it would not work, simply because no complete circuit to the battery while not the key in the ignition existiert.Es are chargers that connect the battery with alligator clips. But these mean running a separate line to the battery. Is there a solution to this seemingly simple problem?
There are One Answer
If your cigarette lighter works when the key if off, then yes, the solar charger will work. That will confirm you have popwer to the lighter when the key is off, thus the necessary connection to the battery.
