Need Solar Panel Charger for 12v battery/USB Help.....

[Beardedbuck]

I'm looking to add a solar charger to my blind for charging a 12V battery/USB, but don't have a clue on how to go about what needs to be done. Who knows how to do this stuff & wouldn't mind lending a hand?

Thanks in advance,
Greg

Where do you hunt?? All you need is a battery, solar panel and solar charge controller.

Not too remote, but my cell signal is -zero at best. My phone searching endlessly and runs my battery down very quickly when I'm in the stand. Thought this might be an answer to my problem. Maybe even wire up to a dvd player/screen for the kids eventually.

Just an opinion I believe you are completely over complicating the hunting experience. Solar power at the stand for the purpose of charging and hooking up screens may as well park the RV out under the tree and pop the window open . Good luck this season hope it happens for you

For the cell signal thing just turn you phone on airplane mode or switch off the cell portion of the phone.

If you still want the solar charger there are lots of ready-to-go options.

Here is a suggestion on a solar panel... The panel has mostly good reviews and if you look at the bottom Amazon suggests a solar charge controller and battery. I didn't read the reviews on the battery and controller but this is what you need for what you want to do,

I bought a solar panel and charger to keep my battery charged for my 12v pump at camp.
It is a TP 20amp. Was easy to install and wires were long enough probably 6ft or so.

this one has a built in regulator. plug it in and done.

Ahh, there it is.....I wondered how long it'd take for someone to spout off and tell me how wrong I am for wanting power to recharge my phone or to have a screen/player to entertain the little ones that want to tag along for the hunt, but don't have the patience to sit and be still for a few hours. Thanks for your useful input and have a nice evening.

Thanks to the rest of you guys, that'll give me some avenues to pursue. I appreciate the help.

I have always thought about this, but never looked into it. I followed one of the amazon links thats was posted, and found this system. Looks like a decent, all in one setup.

I'm about to do the same thing. I'm going with a smaller, trickle charger for the battery, similar to what is on a feeder. I won't be hunting that much and I can't see a phone charger draining a 12v battery that quick.
I ordered this socket and I'm just going to try this solar panel from harbor freight to make it cheaper. From what I've read, with the smaller watt panel, a controller shouldn't be needed.

I like to surf the web and watch videos on my phone when I'm in a box blind but my battery runs out. I bought this backup battery/solar charger to try. I plan to hang it out the window towards the sun and see if it can extend my phone. $38 plus you can charge it on the dash during the day.
