I realize sunlight would be best but will these panels charge a battery based on the lighting inside a garage?

That would not work. It would be like trying to heat your home with a candle. The sun has incomparable amounts of light energy compared to anyman made light. For example say a 12v 7ah battery takes a day to charge in the sun. It would take the same battery 2 months to charge with the lights in your garage.

I do not think it would work in a Garage. I built a mount for both of the panels to use at my Storage area to keep my batteries topped off. It worked to keep them charged up but it was not in a Garage.I really do not think it would work in a Garage unless you had the panels Outside and Wired into the garage.

Providing all the panels are receiving direct sunlight it would work. Some devices may not charge if all the panels are not fully exposed to sunlight.

This is a good solar panel. I have 2 batteries connected parallel, + to +, and - to -. This gives me the same voltage- 12 volts. I run my garage door opener and some accessories in my garage off a power inverter. The Ramsond solar charge regulator shuts off when batteries are full. Like T.J. said, make sure you aim the panel for best results, and hopefully its not foggy where you keep your boat!

I got these for solar LED lanterns. The original battery was soldered into the board - I removed it put this battery in it's place and it charges with the solar cell mounted on top. sometimes it charges fine - but has to be very sunny. You may be able to charge it using a AA/AAA charger and a copper wire taped to the contacts - but I'm not sure if that would work.

Well that depends.are you going to run the pumps all night? I use my panel to charge a 12 volt,110 amh battery that runs 12 volt lights through out the house. Works absolutely great!

As long as you wipe off the solar glass panel and let the sunshine charge it up however there are small round batteries

The Dlight will charge in a window. The included material also says the solar charge will last up to a year. I have yet to use this light in a emergency situation so cannot verify claims

light all hook to solar panel. Solar panel has 3 batteries that charge from sun... Have been working well so far. Have spare batteries just in case.

The battery is charged by a solar panel. The light is kept on a windowsill where it is charged by the south sun. The battery has never been totally depleted. During power outages and other times needing a flashlight, it has always worked. The 2 selections for types of light needed in an area are excellent.

Its the same in the Midwest, if the solar panel gets a full day or two of bright sun it has a chance to store energy. Read manufacturer instructions: "...Your solar panel needs to be placed outside in a sunny area and needs to face the southern sky. If it is in the shade it will still charge, but not as well as in the sun. If it is behind glass, it may not charge properly." Motion detector activates the light for a few minutes or so. Hopes this helps...

The lights are not solar, so they dont need sun light to operate/charge. They can operate using a switch, but they wont come on during day light because it has a photo cell to detect the sun light.

There are lights for sale here that have a separate solar cell battery compartment that could be used for your purpose. The charging part of the light is connected to the lights with an electrical cord and can be mounted where it gets ample sun light. Then, the light itself can be mounted to shine where needed. Just be sure and get a long enough cord for the solar cell to connect to the light unit itself.( look around in this section for separate light, solar panel assembly)

I would assume so, but you might want to check the specifications for each to see. Th solar lights will charge much slower than DC power.

I don't know exactly what you're looking for. I have mine mounted on the corner of my garage where it gets good sun. I have it plugged into the battery of my wifes truck which we don't use often so it can keep charged up. I also plug it in to my lawn tractor from time to time to ensure that battery stays charged. I don't quite understand what you're talking about as far as putting it in the window. It needs to be mounted in an area where it gets some sunshine and then plugged into whatever battery you're planning to charge.

That is going to depend on how discharged the batteries get each night. To give you an idea of what to expect, I have a 1600 ah battery bank and 6 panels. They are able to fully charge the batteries each day as long as it is sunny. They produce around 30 amps for about 5 hours mid day in February. With 2 panels I would expect 10 amps. I am in northern Nevada, farther south you should get more sun/power.

YES. WE SELL THEM FOR THAT PURPOSE, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE BATTERIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, THIS 7 WATTS WILL NOT KEEP UP. SOLAR HOWEVER IS ALWAYS A FUN EXPERIMENT. IF 7 WATTS WON'T KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED, ADD MORE WATTS (PANELS) (OR LARGER WATTAGE PANELS). YOU COULD CHECK OUT OUR INFORMATIVE WEB SITE AT www.sites.google.com/site/solardoityourself, or even call me directly at 305-900-09596. thank you

Yes; in full sun one of these 15w panel will produce well over 800 milli amps close to 1 amp. 2 panels like these will double the charge rate and so on. My one panel easily maintains and keeps two 105 amp hour 12v deep cycle flooded batteries fully charge to over 12.6v month after month with about 6-8 hrs of full sun.
