Will this kill my battery?

As I have no electrickery in my shed, I'm looking at getting one of
these for occasional use:

So, question as subject...

 

Better with a 5W one as a minimum. Remember, the rated output of these
things is based on very sunny days in Arizona/Gobi Desert. A 5W one will
still put something useful into the battery even on a shit winter's day.


From my own 5W panel

Shit winter day ~50mA
Spring sunny but overcast day ~180mA
Full-on summer's day ~350mA (~4.2W)

All at nominal 12V
The max of 5W is never reached, which tallies with my expection.

I rarely use my car and have one of these plugged into the lighter
socket, I don't remember what the power o/p is, though

It does what it says on the tin

 

No help, but I've always wanted an excuse to own one of these (SFW)

There's still some of the originals knocking around the UK if you look
hard enough. uk.rec.engines.stationary is your best intro.

Exactly; what kills an automotive L/A battery surest is deep discharge,
as little as three times for some.

That's about it.

Most of the stationary engine blokes enjoy a good chug.
