I hope they've improved. The early ones didn't produce much of a charge. Is it worth investigating a kill switch to isolate the battery during long down times? |

I have two in mine, from Maplins, they both sit either side in the rear window via the suckers provided, i then bought a two into one connecter with a cigeratte light plug into the cubby box, this gives a good trickle charge when not used for a while.

I do like that one from map links but I've got heavily tinted rear windows will it be effective enough with the tints? |

The new ones just need light, not necessarily sunlight.... My fatty had drug dealer window tints and it still gave 18v.. Previously..

Do you have to unplug them before you start the car. Maybe not an issue but you'd have to open the boot and do that before you drove away..? Ash

I always unplugged mine before I started the fattie... But I only used it if the car was not in use, so it was not an issue. Previously..
