Battery chargers FAQs
• Will a solar battery charger drain my
batteries during the night?
No. Most sophisticated chargers have a diode built into the unit that
ensures there will be no reverse current flow. This prevents any kind
of an electrical charge from turning around and coming back from your
device’s battery and into the batteries on board.
• Are there waterproof chargers?
There are some water-resistant chargers, but complete submersion will
kill any charger in a hurry. It is best to simply assume that the solar
battery charger is not waterproof. Doing so could help the owner avoid
any problems that could arise from carelessness in wet conditions later.
It is always good to have any kind of battery chargers you can, regardless
of whether it is solar or not.
