Hello all. I'm planing a pump/filter system for my pond . 3 months ago I dug up a part of my garden and and now it's a pond (-: I built a small pond a few years ago and only had a little solar powered pump/fountain system in it but now that the pond is much bigger (+/- 1200l) I want to...

Thinking of buying one of those, but have found that the cigar lighter socket is not active unless the keys are operated. I have seen that there ones that connect via the EOBD port, has anyone got one that works that way? and does it actually work?

Anyone used one of these AA solar battery chargers? Just bought one from amazon as it appears to get good reviews. Basically its a panel which plugs into the OBD port. I will be leaving my car parked for two weeks when I go on holiday so want to come back to a car that starts...

Just purchased a koolertron 8.5-watt 12v solar panel battery charger from Amazon. I already have a Ctek for home use but purchased one of these for the times when a suitable power source might not be available. For example leaving your car at an airport car park for 2 or 3 weeks. Ok a good...

A well known glass replacement service came out this week and replaced my smashed windscreen with the make "Solar Shield - SafeVue) It looks virtually the same as the original and the job seems to be a good one. To put my mind at rest, does anyone know anything about this make of windshield?

Because my 2006 CLK350 Cabrio will be spending 6-8 weeks sitting in a car park whilst I'm away, I decided to get myself a solar battery charger that will trickle charge @ 7.75 watts and 14v in sun or cloud (they say!). Resting it on the top of the dash is the logical position. However, as the...

Just wondering, is this any good for keeping my 211 battery charged while in Russia? Also, would cigarette lighter connection work with this car? Solar Powered 12V Battery Trickle Charger-Boats/Cars | eBay

Its not often I recommend a gadget but I'm so impressed by this concept that I thought I'd give it a mention. I stumbled across the LG HFB-500 solar powered car kit the other day and was so attracted by the idea of not needing to remember to charge it combined with a freedom from ugly cables, I...

I have just had a PV Solar system installed and the inverter has data logging available. The connection is via USB (square socket, type 'B'?). I was wondering if I could make the connection wireless by adding a WiFi dongle? Do you think this is feasible? Or would the inverter need to be...

Hello I think this may have been discussed before? My car is sometimes not used very often at all and when it is its sometims only shortish journeys. Today it was as flat as a pancake :( no problem just jumped it (on and leaving the boot slightly open probably didn't help) Anyway, what...

Hi I have solar panels in the roof of my E500, but I have no idea what they do or how they work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Tan

Hi All I am not using my car a lot at the moment so it is sometimes left standing for weeks on end. Went to start it yesterday and the battery was too flat. Still enough power for central locking etc but not enough to start it. I have a solar trickle charger which I was thinking of wiring...

Is it possible to make the rear seat area power socket live in an E class w211 (year 2003) without having the ignition turned on, so that i can connect a Sunsei SE150 Solar Trickle battery charger when away on holiday?

Hi people, i have an slk55 but do not use it enough and hence the alarm and tracker soon flatten the battery. My question is i have seen several different types of solar chargers (mainly from Maplin) which might be the answer to my prayers. Primarily the model i looked at was...

As some may recall, I drive my car only occasionally. As a result of this, my car gets used about once every fortnight. To try and help the 6 month old battery stay tip top, especially with a passive immobiliser on the car, I hook up a small solar panel to trickle charge. Unfortunately, 4...
