Also, if you have a newer car the solar charger may not charge the battery through the lighter socket if the car is turned off, so you’ll have to connect the solar charger directly to your car’s battery (cables are included). I show how to in one of my older videos, thanks for the support!

All putting cool stuff
Very cool thing to get stolen on the west coast hahahaha
I have larger versions of that exact same charger and I found that you can fish the wire through the grill and connect it directly up to the battery and lock your hood. They work great
hi Scott.
Just wanted to ask you if you maby saw the news on the guy who got his new Hyundai EV battery damaged.
they quoted $60 000 for the repair.
The solar charger comment, was the confirmation that I came to inquire about, so instead, I send kudos to you, for answering my question before I asked. 👍
"Stupid is as stupid does"...quote, Forrest Gump.😊
Thanks for taking one for the team Scotty!
I like Scotty, but I just don’t like him calling me stupid for being a simple man and not having some things I don’t need! 😊
I went out and checked in my car. Apparently I'm stupid, too. 🙄😬
one thing for sure
I do that is stupid is watching Scotty
@@joeandrijeski5085
Hahaha…. That’s a good one! 😂
Scotty has saved me thousands over the years by testing out products and showing us what's good and what isn't.
Which products..?
Scotty is great! 😊
You got that right 👍
@@robbyjay8119 Scan tools, axle stands and trolley jacks, head gasket testing kits, jump starters, steering locks....there's just too much to list.
Scotty has also saved me thousand$ .....I don't buy any products he shows 👍
Thanks for the tip on the solar powered battery maintainer. I got a generic fiberglass panel solar charger from eBay with dubious electronics and over-charging the battery is one of my concerns. It is good to see a solar panel with apparently switches to float charge mode if the battery is full.
When I was in the Army, we had entire divisions of tanks and trucks in storage in case of war. They kept the batteries installed and on tickle chargers. I've seen tanks that were in storage for 10 years driven right out of the storage building to a training area.
The Army has a ton of little one cylinder Yanmar Diesel powered generators with solar panels installed on the case top at the factory to keep the starter battery charged. The Army’s been hip to the idea for years. Well played Army.
I bought thr same solar battery charger and love it. I bought 3 of them. He did another video showing the sam charger a year ago. Thanks Scotty for the info. I bought 3 of them.
Scotty! Thanks for saving me from buying any of these products!
Put it in your trunk for when your Toyota breaks down.
If I only had a trunk.
@@Notfiveo0”When”… more like if lol
All the products are worthwhile considering and Scotty has made it easier to make a purchase decision. Excellent review.
Scotty, love coming your way from Memphis! Really appreciate everything you do, man! Live well!
Your the "REAL DEAL" . Scotty. God bless you !
Thank you sir. I think I'll be looking into the bike thing for my wife. She's having a hard time learning how to drive, so the bike would certainly help her get around, when I am no longer around. Her job is only 15 minutes away and I'm sure she'll have no trouble getting back and forth on it. Genius 😮
Thank you Scotty !!! 😊 ❤
Thank you for the great review and information!
I’ve always used the Battery Tender to maintain your battery if your battery is sitting for a long time. I have a show car and it sits in the garage all winter. The battery tender keeps the battery topped off without overcharging. I also have two deep cycle batteries that go in my 32 Ft fifth wheel camp trailer. I remove them before storing the camper, put them in the garage and use one Battery Tender to keep them topped off when you use cables to hook the batteries in series. These batteries typically last for six years when the batteries in my truck and car only last 4 1/2 to 5 years. I live in Wyoming and we don’t have as many clear sky days where Scotties solar charger is in use. The Battery Tender use 110volt house current and are very reliable. I’ve never had one fail in the past 15 years.
Scotty it is real good to see you looking well and waving your hands around again!😊
👍👍 Thanks Scotty! I ordered the solar charger.
You're thinking outside the box Scotty and it makes me feel really bad. I'v had one of those small panels sitting in the closet for years as a backup cell phone charger during hurricanes. I also have a older spare Toyota sitting in the yard as a backup car in case mine craps out. Been going out every couple weeks to throw a heavy battery charger on it to keep the battery up and it's a pain. I'll be putting that panel on the dash real soon. Thanks Scotty.
love this type of video. thanks
Happy New Year, Scotty. I enjoy your videos and info!
Loved your reviews, Scotty 💯
Wow! I want to get one!! Thanks Scotty, I appreciate you very much!!😊❤
Thanks for the tip.
Very interesting stuff. Keep up the good work 👍💪
Great job Scotty….appreciate you.
Happy New Year to you & family Scotty
I love the charger solar charger thanks Scotty. You’re awesome.
Scotty you are the best!
Thanks Scotty for the video!!! 👌💯👌
My car (nissan leaf SL) actually comes with a spoiler, and it has a small solar panel on it, too. It just charges up the 12v battery, which is cool. I don't have to worry about it going flat.
Thanks Scotty!
As for the bike Luckeep....you need to consider the battery and how long it will last, and IF you can replace it, and at what price. Scotty, you know better!
400$ battery replacement from the manufacturer, but how long does it last
He's 70 years old dude, how often do you think he rides.
Well, he has plenty energy.... age is a number. As long as he takes care and can balance, he is A-OK :-) Scotty is great! Every 20 people needs a Scotty! @@donniev8181
My brother has bad knees so I thought I order one for him, but I saw that currently the bike is not available. Happy new year Scotty. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Love this guy seriously... he reminds me of everything good in the world. God Bless him
Awesome video thanks again for everything you do!! God!
love the reading material.
I bought a used pickup three and one half years ago, and found I was driving the pickup while my car sat in the garage. The next time I went to drive my car, no start. I got a little solar panel charger and leave it plugged in. Even in the garage (there is a window) it kept the car battery charged. I have one in both vehicles now, also one for my riding lawnmower.
My sister is retired and rarely drives. Wound up in a no start situation, brand new car and battery. I bought her one. She also has a window in her garage.
I actually had one of those back in the 90's. It was great!!
I have an old car that mostly sits. The solar trickle charger is a great idea and with your recommendation behind it an order is already placed.
I have a ‘98 Jeep GC that has some random electrical issue, so if I don't drive the vehicle every week the batter goes dead. 😢This sounds like a great temporary fix until we can figure out what the gremilin electrical issue is… plus we just bought a 20’ enclosed trailer and this would be a great idea to attach one of these to the trailer to keep the tiny battery charged so we will always have lights and keep the battery charged so when we are using this over the next few months to move across country, it will stay charged… Thank You again Scotty for another great tip.
Great 👍 video mate.
One thing to mention is that some cars lighter sockets only work when the ignition is on. I was having battery drainage issues and got a similar solar charger just to find out that my lighter sockets only work when the ignition is on. So I had to run separate 12V wires from the battery into the cab where I could hook it to the panel.
All newer cars works like that.
do newer cars even HAVE lighters?
@@lyceum4177 true!
No they don’t, they only call it lighter socket because people have trouble remembering the name (power accessories plug socket) !🤔🤦♂️🤷🏻♂️🙄
@@lyceum4177 According to BM TV they do. He put out a video showing a cigarette lighter in the 2023 Hyundai i30, it also uses the same symbol as every other lighter.. Its titled '2023 Hyundai I30N DCT Full Interior & Exterior Review' 1:58 mark. My sisters 2023 Hyundai i30 N line has a lighter in it too. Edit: Newer cars dont seem to come with ashtrays.
Scotty...just about died laughing...wife has a Impala thirteen years old with less than 10,000 miles...wife hardly ever drives and I am continually jumping car off because hasn't been run...trickling solar battery may be the answer...
😀loved it...great tips and fun👍❤️
Scotty, you are my favorite morning video while making coffee. Thanks for the info
Just as I am getting ready to get another solar charger. My Harbor Freight charger from the 90s has finally broken. Been using it all these years. Have a Battery Tender Solar charger in another vehicle. It works fine, but only came with cables to connect directly to the battery. Have to buy a lighter plug separate. Will probably give this one a try.
had one for about 3 winters been a god send
As an OTR trucker, my car sits for long periods of time while I am away making sure the country keeps flowing. That solar panel might come in real handy. Thank you, Scotty!
Enjoyed the video
I'm going to order one for my backhoe battery. I'll test it to see if it has enough balls. I'm getting the 20-watt unit. When I get it I won't be stupid anymore.😂
😂😂😂😂😂
It should take care of you. They also have 30 and 50 W models if you have really really large batteries like 900 or 1000 CCA. You can mount on a pole or the side of a wall.
Your best recommendation was and still is the best, the Autowyt Supercap 2 battery free jump starter.
Scotty thanks for the product test! I couldn’t find the product links.😂
Scotty the battery should be able to hold a charge for at least a coupla weeks. I thought you were gonna push dashcams. I don't move the vehicle without mine. In this day & age they ARE the definitive word in case of a mishap. And you need a decent one with both front and rear cameras.
I have a Solar car battery charger . It works on older GM cars but not on Japanese cars because the ' cigarette ' lighter is not on without the key on or on accessory mode .
If your cig lighter doesnt work unless the key is on , these chargers wont work unless you keep it directly connected to the battery ( not the cig lighter socket )
Connect it and put a voltmeter on your battery and you can see whether or not its charging .
I have a Jeep that I rarely drive. I'll be buying one of these solar chargers.
Hey Scotty, love your videos! I fall in the category of losing power to my car port when the vehicle is turned off, bummer. I really like the idea otherwise. Also, the Google Pixel 8 pro is honestly the best device in my opinion as the apps are very useful as you have shown. Thanks a bunch for the information.
I bought the harbor freight solar charger have yet to use it but there's a video on it
So, hook it straight to the battery..like he said you can ,it comes with cables
You might have to register the Luckeep e-bike as a motorcycle in the state where I live. There’s a 750 Watt (~1 HP) limit on the assist motor and speed limit of 20 MPH without pedal assist. You might find yourself in a Catch-22 because the state won’t license vehicles without VINs in the standard format (unless you have an old car like I do, from before standardized VINs). Of course you could just go ahead and ride and as long as you aren’t a jerk in traffic probably no cop is going to hassle you about your bike.
Riding that little Luckeep 30 MPH must be pretty interesting. I’ve ridden my 27 inch pedal powered road bike just over 30 MPH and it was pretty hairy.
Thanks scotty
Can you connect the solar panel to the bike though?? Extended range ? Then connect the light as a headlight!!
Scotty,so who makes that light bar at the end of the video and is it waterproof? Was thinking, my snowblower doesn't have a light on it and if I use it at night I just pop it on the top front of the machine and just pull it off to recharge. Thanks SO much.
Do you need the 20w version of this solar charge for a maintainer or would the 12w version suffice?
VW used to ship all their cars out with one of these suction cupped to the inside of the windshield I bought several from dealers for $5 to $10 and then they found out they could sell them on EBay for $30. I still have several of them and they still work I keep my lawnmower and tractor charging all the time.
I wouldn't leave that charger on the dashboard if you go to San Francisco.
Lol, I wouldn't leave anything in San Francisco including myself.
If that electric bike frame were Titanium it would have a weight and strength advantage. --- One might consider making some kind of snap, clip-on or Velcro connectable red lens set up if you intend to have it flashing in the back of your car. The brightness of the light, against a bright day, may not be seen until you are right on the car.
Hi Scotty what's you opinion on Lexus 450h
Hey Scotty, did you use the 18 or 20W version of the Solar Charger?
Brilliant!
Thanks.
Would you still recommend the Creader VII scan tool?
Hey Scotty, will this charge the Hybrid battery in the Maverick Hybrid?
Solar Bad. Solar Good, Solar Bad, Solar Good. You can’t make up your mind ole man. You must have a really good wife. I need to pray for her more 😂
Solar works for limited thing like charging small batteries. People use them on gate opener batteries and such, but powering people’s home forget about it.
@@brandonstclair6530 that’s interesting seeing that I have a whole house solar system that works great.
@@ResurrectionProphet So, you have a young solar system and don't live in western Michigan, Oregon, Washington.
@@ResurrectionProphet Same here that person is ill informed.
Nice! But, you can just get the $30.00 dollar trickle charger at Habor Freight... The extra steps of opening the hood & running out an extension cord are not a big deal.. Good for hard winters!
I purchased two smaller ones from Harbor freight. Have one in my Dodge cummings truck. Instead of my charger with a cord.
Good day
Re d Sumer Solar battery charger. It charges d car battery by plugging it into d car’s cigarette lighter?
That is a cool bike. I like the big tires. Don't like them real skinny ones.
what should be immediately addressed when attempting to start an old car (1973 Ford Galaxie 500.) that has been sitting about 11-13 years?
well Amigo ...I guess I'm stoopid ... as I have none of those products ... or the urge to get them ..... but as always, I enjoy your reviews and sharing of knowledge.
The Lexus looks brand new! The battery charger is awesome but I cover my windshield to protect my dashboard from the scorching Florida heat. I wish this charger would have a version that would stick to the window.
I keep solar maintainers on both my van and my truck since sometimes they don't get driven for a while.
I need a solar charger for my pop-up camper. Would this work?
You are one good man! I am 76yrs old and have maintained my numerous vehicles. I wish I knew of you before I got to old. You keep on doing what you are doing and will continue watching. I’m C. Irvin, Richmond,Va.
i have in past bike like this one , company engwe very good vehicle its cost 900$ in Europe . But tyres are to big when batery is died back to home are really hard. Batery module you can change in 30 second . And you can buy extra one . Good stuff for good cash .
I had a solar charger from harbor freight a couple of years ago it works okay until the hot summer sun in California completely fried it
None of my Lexus or Toyota vehicles have active lighter outlets. The car has to be at least in ACC mode for them to operate. Scotty, did you re-wire one of your outlets to direct power?
First time I run into these solar chargers was when J.C Whitney still had catalogs.
The solar battery maintenance is All good except I garage my cars - good for outdoor applications
The professional mechanic who leaves his wife’s car without a maintainer for 6 months so it needs a jump. Then explains how that’s bad for batteries…
It's off season pricing on the bike.(while they make ready the new improved ones. . .And SO MUCH COMPETITION now too).
I just have booster cables in the trunk...lol I can see how this could be very handy though however its like 200$ where I live while my cables cost like 30$. On the very few times I have need a boost it never took more than 5mins to find someone willing to park their car in front of mine to do so either that said I can see how this would be handy in remote areas camping etc.
I L❤VE ALL.THESE PRODUCTS!!
My 2010 Chevy truck accessory plug still has power when the vehicle is off. My wife’s 2019 Hyundai accessory plug doesn’t have power when the vehicle is off. If I understood you correctly in my truck the solar charger would work with the accessory plug, but with my wife’s car I’d need to wire it to the battery. Is this correct?
Sun? Happy New Year from Manchester England 😅
Will that solar charger work on my nissan 350z it's model year is 2005
I have a question about this. Will it work with tinted windows?. I tried a solar fan once in my truck and it didn't work because of the tinted windows
The problem with the bike is that depending on where you live, if an electric bicycle can go as fast as 30Mph on the throttle alone without pedaling, then it's legally no longer an 'electric bicycle' and you're going to need to register it. You then will of course also need to have a driver's license and insurance to ride it on a road.
solar charger is 😢$170 in Canada. I used your link Scotty. Anyways thank you for the info
hate it watching these videos because I always end up buying what scotty recommends lol.
i have a 1amp 14w solar charger like the one testing, had it for 2 years and it doesn't work, it is too lower power to keep up with the computer drain and because it's putting out charge energy the cars computer does not hibernate or go into sleep mode and it drains the battery dead in 2-3 days
The USB type A port on the back of the light is likely for charging your phone off the light's battery. You just plug your phone's USB cord into that port like you would to charge your phone off a USB wall charger or your laptop. The smaller USB port back of the light is usally for recharging the battery in the light after.
I have a flashlight that changes via USB A....
@@michaelcarson8375 , are you saying it is USB A on the flashlight ends of the charging wire?
@@peteowens3033No the single charge port on the flashlight is USB A. It's a bring your own charging cable and brick situation. Now if you wanted to use usb-C to usb A you would need a usb-c charging brick.
unfortunately my state has some ebike regulations. The state of Washington (WA) defines electric bicycles as “electric-assisted bicycles.” The electric bike must have two or three fully operational pedals for human propulsion and the electric motor must be no more than 750 W. Electric bicycles are classified as Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 as defined below:
Class 1 electric-assisted bicycle means an electric-assisted bicycle in which the motor provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 mph.
Class 2 electric-assisted bicycle means an electric-assisted bicycle in which the motor may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 mph.
Finally, Class 3 electric-assisted bicycle means an electric-assisted bicycle in which the motor provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 mph and is equipped with a speedometer.
we also have many citys that have ebike regualtions.
