@DEEJAYSCRATCH No, it doesn't supply enough power. It's a maintainer; it's only good for maintaining a batt on a vehicle that's going to sit for a long time. If your batt is dead, then you'll need to buy a much bigger solar panel charger, which can cost $50-100. It would be easier to just buy an electrical batter trickle charger for $20. But, if your batt's not holding charge, you just need a new batt. Even if you got your car started, the batt will drain and leave you stranded.

I got one it keeps my 12V12Amp hr. Batt charged That I use every day for light. I can run lights for days or even weeks off it. OF COURSE I did order these 12V Led Driving lights that I use. Seems to work Really good.

i found that putting these types of solar pannels on the dash board of a car to charge the battery does not get enough solar rays because of the UV protected windshield. For best performance you need to put the solar panel outside in direct sunlight.

of course if you have an older car that does not have UV protection then your ok.
