Thanks wpoll indeed solar charger was removed from car and i was measuring the volts reading it produced both in the shade and in full sun...its just an additional addon dont expect it to do much regarding my possible starter issue but at least it will give a few amps when car is parked...annoying thing is says it has a diode to stop reverse flow at night but just be safe am thinking of cutting cord from panel to dc lighter socket and putting in some cut off switch in between not sure i can use the type for example you get on a reading lamp....
Ps u r very right my crapt driving style is leading to slower n slower starts...so am in process of connecting the ctek comfort clip to the engine bay lugs and feeding out either via hole near wipers and gutter or via the kidney grill....actually thinking of tin soldering onto the lug nuts the connector..ok mate cheers for feedback
