The GPS locator unit on my 2538 has just enough parasitic draw to make parking the machine for a couple/few of weeks at a time problematic. Time for a battery maintainer I guess.
Anyone have either of these units, or perhaps want to suggest another low cost solar option or better idea? Panel will be mounted on side of shed and cables through wall to the machine. I'm a cheapskate, thus the choices here.
Low cost, low voltage, simple maintainer with no controller: Amazon.com: Schumacher SP-200 2.4W Solar Battery Maintainer: Automotive
Higher voltage charger/maintainer with a controller in the cable: Amazon.com : MicroSolar - 10W Solar Panel Charging Kit for 12v Battery /// Plug & Play /// Solar Charge Contoller Included - Braket Included - 18 Feet Waterproof Wire - Optional 16.4 Feet Extension Wire - Cigarette Plug with Fuse - Alligator Clips wi
Thanks in advance for any input!
