DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panel Kit (ONLY 9lb) Folding Solar Charger with 2 USB Outputs for 12v Batteries/Power Station AGM LiFePo4 RV Camping Trailer Car Marine……

Works so well that I bought a third one.
Bought 2 of these and took them on an 8 day boondocking camping trip in my 5th wheel to charge my Goal Zero Yeti 1000 power station. My wife and I use the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 to run our CPAP machines at night. I also used them to charge the 5th wheel batteries. Because of several factors (like clouds and the way I just threw them flat on the ground), I still had to run my gas generator a few times. Here is what I discovered:1. I love these panels and just bought a third one. I also have two heavy Goal Zero 100W briefcase solar panels but they are so heavy I don’t like them. Much prefer the DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels. Much easier to store.2. They never produced 160W but my Goal Zero 100W panels never produced 100W either.3. I love the battery management control box that comes FREE with the DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panel. I can hook it directly to my 5th wheel lead acid batteries and charge them to full capacity in a few hours (time varies because of lots of reasons).4. The cheaper DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels don’t have a kick stand so I had to lay them against a rock or just lay them flat on the ground. This made them less efficient but I didn’t have to keep adjusting them like I had to do on the Goal Zero briefcase 100W ones.5. For the price of one 100W Goal Zero panel I can buy 2 DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels.6. In the morning I lay them flat on the ground, hook them up and don’t mess with them until the sungoes down.7. I just bought a third one and hope I won’t have to run the gas generator at all (depending on the weather). If three isn’t enough I will buy a fourth one and leave the Goal Zero ones at home.Bottom line: If money is no problem the best solution is to have permanent solar panel system installed on the roof of your RV. But if you buy solar panels you can’t go wrong with these DOKIO 160W 18V Portable Solar Panels. Besides while I’m saving up for my home Tesla solar panels and back up batteries, I can use them at home for emergencies. Easy to lift and slim to store in the garage. Highly recommended.

Small and light
For the money it’s a great option. You will not get 160 watts, closer to 100w. However I just use them as an addition to our rooftop solar in our RV. I built a kickstand on each panel. I changed the controller for an mppt variable voltage that was about $40 and use that to directly plug into our e bike batteries. That works great and charges them quickly and it’s set to automatically to stop at the correct charged voltage 54.6v. The bike controller confirms this. It takes on average 1-4 hours to charge depending on how low the battery is. I also charge our 1500w power station with it. I have a fused auxillary connect on my 2 x 75amp lithium coach batteries that I can connect to assist the roof top solar on cloudy days. The fabric does degrade in the sun. You can just use hvac reflective tape or duck tape etc when this happens. For a dollar a rated watt this is worth the money considering the cables and controller. Best to upgrade the controller. I have 2 mppt ones. 1 for bikes other for everything else. Make sure you don’t reverse polarity on the connectors, check with a multi meter and have extras of polarity connectors.

Es ligero y dice bien y su regulador está increíble, el único problema es que por más sol que había no pude sacarle más de 80 watts

Es ligero y eficiente, lo he usado sin problemas para cargar mis dos unidades Ecoflow River y River mini. Espero utilizarlo pronto para cargar baterías de 12 volts
