Speed camera stealth jammer teardown - with schematic
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- A very affordable device that jams any speed or red light camera, allowing you to floor it at all times with utter disregard for human life. In reality, this device could cost you your driving licence as it does NOT stop any camera or radar device from clocking your vehicle.
Like many of the other scam products sold online it is a completely different product (in this case a fake car alarm) that is re-themed to entice people to part with their hard earned cash.
I'd guess the sellers would also play the usual game of trying to avoid refunding, or if sold on a dedicated website, might try to scam you out of more - assuming they haven't already harvested your card details.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

What you need to do is cover your car in lemon juice, the invisible ink will stop it from showing up on camera.
Just always drive backwards in reverse everywhere you go. Then you show up doing a negative speed and will never be over the speed limit!

You are right, I remember when I sent secret messages to my friend in elementary school!
You could probably rob a bank with the same trick 😏
Just have to cover your car with IR LEDs. And get some IR headlights that you can point up at the cameras.😮

If you stacked enough of them under your accelerator pedal they could possibly work.
🤣
😂😂😂😂
No no, you glue enough of them front of the camera lens, but sticker does the same thing, just make sure you dont leave fingerprints since government will most definitely be more interested of wasting tens of thousands into speed cameras and finding who made nation a service, than putting a cent into road maintenance.
You made me laugh. Thank you for that
No more effective than hanging a CD on a rear view mirrors, and people in Poland did this in the '90s believing they could trick speed cams.
So it didn't work even back then ?
(With the early speed cams)
@@psirvent8 RADAR doesn't really work like that. And your license plate is to far away from the rear view mirror for the CD to cause enough reflected light to obscure it.
I imagine you would need a laser-dazzler like what military (and now cargo planes) used to blind certain missile types. Those work by overwhelming the sensor, or in some cases if the laser is strong enough it can burn it out.
In Finland, cops used to put used CDs in the empty camera boxes to make it look like there was a camera installed. :D
I bet someone probably got that idea after the police told them not to hang CDs from their rear view, and they assumed there must be some secret reason for it and not actually because it blocks a significant part of their view.
I was in high school in the 90s (in Minnesota, USA) and knew people who did this and got pulled over a lot more often for speeding and for having the CD there in the first place.
got one of those that plugs into the ODB port and also doubles my engine power whilst increasing fuel economy. Now I drive at 150mph everywhere and the cops can't even see me.
Nice
I have one that disables the displacement on demand function on my car. It works quite well.
I would have posted, but couldn't see your comment. You must have been posting from inside your car: very efficient 🙃
Ah, yes. The "Ol' Dirty Bastard" port.
Well, My Maserati goes 185 , ( I lost my license and now I don't drive )
A dusk sensor is so useful on a speed camera jammer! Because everyone knows the police don't set speed traps at night. Or they only set them at night. Or something...
Probably was previously sold as "honest" fake car alarm blinky led so it wouldn't run out of battery in the middle of the night...
They're USUALLY only in the day. I recently got done by one at 12:18am coming home from afternoon shift
@@OffGridInvestor Blimey. That's one hell of a commute! If you were done at 12:18am then they definitely work at night.
As a car guy, it's understandable.
Buy a real speed camera detector or lice place disruptor! They this is usually trouble if you get spotted tho here theres not many cop cars driving around! so can take the risk.
Clive, this device is even more fiendish and advanced than you think! It knows when it's the view of a camera and it has engaged it's stealth camouflage mode. It only *looks* like a fake alarm flasher LED while you've got the camera pointed at it, or are just observing it. Look away, and it reverts to its "real" appearence, that once actived, no can can observe. It's like like advanced combination of the HHGTTG "Some Else's Problem (SEP) Field" and the Weeping Angels.
Now that you've assulted it, I fear what will become of you when you sleep. Be safe.
'It only looks like a fake alarm flasher LED while you've got the camera pointed at it' A quantum jammer, it becomes a fake car alarm only when observed, very crafty.

Different firmware 😜
*These really DO work!*
But only if you glue them directly onto the lens of the speed camera :) .
Also you can throw them to general direction where police officer stands.
Since signal jammer are illegal I'd suggest a home built one anyway. You are definitely doing a good deed with your honest take on these trinkets.
If you are really serious about having such a device, you’d either make your own or pay for a real one by an expert.
If you keep to the speed limit then these work really well. Also seemed to jam all of my stealth very effectively, so other road users could still see me.
If you put the blue one in close proximity to the red one, the reciprocating jam session will be catastrophic. Don't cross the streams.
Baah.
I was in need of a spudger a few years ago but I had no idea what they were called, english not being my first language. Then I watched one of your videos and now I have several in different shapes and sizes. Who would have thought that when I found your channel through the video where you fixed a Poundland halloween decoration for Ashens five or six years ago?
Could you publish a review and comparison?

I'm glad you've done a teardown of one of these, adverts for these have been all over social media recently, curious to see what crap lies within!
True LiDAR jammers cost well over $500 USD today and are comprised of a series of detector-emitter modules placed in key locations on one’s car all tied back to a central logic module mounted inside the car. The embittered used on the outside modules utilize high power IR laser emitter diodes that only come on for several seconds to allow one to brake check the idiots tailgating your vehicle. Most modern LiDAR units have countermeasure detectors built in so you would probably be stopped and have your vehicle inspected.
I cannot believe some people would fall for this quackery.
@@Subgunman
10% of Americans believe the Earth is flat and 12%, believe the moon landings were fake . So it doesn’t surprise me in the least that people would fall for this crap.
Imagine going to court with one of them in hand saying "I shouldn't be here! This device should have stopped you and your illegal cameras and parking sensors!!!", cos if they actually did work, they'd be in even deeper doodoo for attempting to jam such things anyway... :P
I'm pretty sure the trouble you get in for jamming the radio frequencies faaar outweighs both the speeding and avoiding the cameras to begin with
Go on and write me up for 125

Oh no, uh
So I signed my name on number 24, hey

I say, "Yeah, oh yeah"
There are laws In place for jamming RF signals. What I want to know which regulatory agency took it upon themselves to govern how one used light. But orificer, I was speaking with a fellow ham in front of me utilizing high power IR communications. Now the fun part is when you present the devices in court. Not my problem there is not much separations between the laser spectrum used by my device and your LiDAR.
@@Subgunman In the states I believe the FDA has somehow ended up governing it. Which is hilarious.
@@POVwithRCI heard rumors to that, their excuse is that the IR laser emissions are harmful to the eyes. Well if that is the case the. LiDAR is just as dangerous to the eyes as well. Those units utilize a high power laser that is energized as a pulse which usually is such that it emits almost twice the IR energy for the split second that is on. What is the difference between the police using something that is pulsed at twice the rated emission and the LiDAR jammers available on the market. I say what is good for the goose is good for the gander. The FDA is out of their realm on this. They must ban police LiDAR if they make a stink about decent IR jammers.
LIES!
I bought 40 of these fine devices and put them all over my license plate.
Totally Works!
I'm looking forward to the next episode of "Where is My Spudger."
I like blinky lights. I made millions of them in the 90s and supplied most car alarm manufacturers. Oddly enough I never claimed that they jammed radar cameras.
That's why you're still broke. Now, if you HAD claimed that they jammed radar you could have bought Apple.

@@Pigsawjanet Yes, I distributed those modules too. The system armed voice sounded like 'system on' , 'system dison' . I stumbled across an old module the other day, thought would put on my shed.

Move over LTT screwdriver...!
It's amazing how much you can learn about a video by reading the comments first ! I did watch it for the most part and decided the best thing to do with this device is to put it on your dashboard and drive the speed limit !
Amazing that someone would actually go to the lengths of designing, building and selling this.
Or perhaps more amazing that there is enough people around willing to buy it to make it worth manufacturing for the manufacturer.
I reported to my local council trading standards department a rather similar device that reduces fuel consumption of a car by 55% (so if you have a car that does 45mpg it will do 100mpg with the device). The council traced the seller to Lithuania although the device itself was made in China. I think there are electronics companies in China that will make for you anything you ask and pay for, no questions asked about what its purpose is.
But what would a real working device look like inside. I am really interested.
People love to speed and get away with it.
It’s that simple. A product for nativists
@@patricksweetman-fx3jhi can sell you a real working one and you can open it. It's £965. It uses GPS, a camera and laser system. The camera system looks for known speed and traffic camera models that it recognises. The laser is then aimed at the lens of the traffic camera and sends a strong pulsing signal beam while you are within range. This beam dazzles the lens and looks like sun glare "white out" on the photo and video.
GPS camera map is also used for known camera locations.
Laser may damage the eye sight of anyone looking out of a window in an apartment or office in the line of sight of the laser beam. May also damage the eye sight of anyone on the upper deck of a tall bus by the window, especially if you're stuck in traffic and the traffic camera reflection is reflected on a bus window. The laser could be firing for a minute or longer.
The unit looks like one of those mapping gps robot type things on the roof of some vehicles.
Are you interested?
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now
I’m interested in how you will explain the targeting of the laser towards the camera.
Now they can add to the already superlative list of features: "Spudger Resistant".
Funny thing... the first review I read was, 'trust me. It really works!' - Heidy
LOL
I wouldn't trust a sandwich made by a Heidy.... Let alone anything auto related
I had a "tech savvy" friend who was an electrician as well, musically talented, knew most DAWs like his pockets, was a multi-instrumentalist, and taught me a lot music-wise... and claimed to know a lot about computers and automation... but once I tried to explain RAID to him, or how to build a LAN for a studio project where only one computer had internet... I could have tried to explain that stuff to a goat just as well. A few times on road trips, my satnav alerted me of cameras, and he went to ask if it knew the spots by the "radar rays"... quite a few times I explained to him that the satnav only knows pre-programmed camera locations, and most stationary cam traps (in our area anyway) only have two inductive sensors under the tarmac, and the time between passing the two sensors is calculated back to the speed (or to your presence too far inside the crossing on red lights), no "radar rays" involved, while those traps with "radar rays" are mobile, and can't be pre-programmed, and either way, alerting the driver when on the loops or in the "rays" would be too late... well, I could have kneaded that in his face till the cows come home, and he would have forgotten.
I also tried to explain to him how to wire an aftermarket subwoofer to a stereo, and ended up wiring it myself.
Knows most DAWs, but can't hook up a sub. That hurts.
So basically a solar garden light!
bigcliveASMR when? Would happily listen to you reading dodgy user manuals for an hour! Also the only way that device will reduce speeding fines is by acting on the drivers anxiety by constantly reminding them of red and blue lights haha
Honestly, the most impressive bit in there is the the lithium cell _with a charge controller!_ You'd think they'd cheap out with just a capacitor. (MCU's are cheaper than 555's these days.)
Speed cameras usually utilize radar instead of LiDAR for determining speed. LiDAR requires careful aiming at a reflective surface on a moving vehicle since the beam pattern is very very narrow. Speed cameras utilize conventional radar since it does not require such a narrow beam to measure speed. There are several issues with speed cameras, when you have multiple vehicles heading in the same direction to or from the "camera" it becomes more difficult to lock into one vehicle. The second issue is when was the speed sensing device calibrated? Having worked on various manufacturers radar units in the radio shop I worked in, most all manufacturers require someone to run a quick calibration check of the units at the beginning and end of one’s shift with a set of calibrated tuning forks. Technically this should be entered into a local log book kept within the police cruiser. Another document that is to be kept in the police cruiser is the annual or semi annual certification of calibration of both the radar unit and the tuning forks. Anyone who is stopped for speeding has a right to ask for the certification of calibration of the equipment. These. Certifications must be conducted by an authorized repair facility with equipment that also have traceable calibrations issued by a licensed NIST depot. So it’s a chain of evidence that must remain in place should an individual question the accuracy of the radar unit that may have read the speed. I have seen cases where the "offender" argues the citation in court and the issuing department cannot provide the document requested by the offender and the cases are dismissed. I have even been stopped by a department for speeding and when I asked the officer to see the readings on the radar I presented him with my credentials and proceeded to conduct a test of his equipment with a set of certified tuning forks. Of the two times stopped their radar units failed in establishing an accurate test. Then looking at the log book of the radar device it was several months past calibration testing. Now it’s not cheap but I maintain tuning forks for the following bands used in the USA, X, K, Ka bands. In Europe they use frequencies within these band ranges BUT on slightly different frequencies which does matter when preforming calibration tests. I would personally ask for the log books of the radar units in question including the logs of the speed cameras that may have "issued" the ticket.
It depends a lot on what speed cameras they are using. I can only speak on what is common in Germany, but I highly doubt those devices are exclusive for Germany. You are right, the traditional mobile device is using a radar and the doppler effect. But the certifications, calibration protocols and more or less the chain of evidence has to be presented on demand also here. Although I am not sure if they have to carry all the equipment or only the paperwork. Also usually you get the ticket and then can request the documents and check for inconsistencies or incorrect calibration of mobile units, which is what lawyers specialiced on speeding tickets usually do first. By the way, in Germany speed controlls are done not only by the police, but mostly by the local regulatory office, rules are the same anyways. There are of course the laser pistol devices used by the police, which are aimed manually, so they are standing on the side of the road, no picture, the look straight at you and your license plate. a newer device uses a bar with tubes on top, housing colour / light intensity sensors. Those are currently the most advanced, that bar is set up parallel to the road and those are certified to measure across multiple lanes, being able to distinguish the lanes and can even handle slight curves. again nothing a RF jammer would hurt, unless the electronics shut down due to the jamming. And then on for example the Autobahn, there is still the posibility the police follows you in a specially equipped vehicle with video documentation. Ah, so many options.
Oh, and then there are the stationary speed and red light cameras. Using inductive loops in the road or for some rare newer models, indeed a LiDAR. the latter usually can be recognized as a grey round column with dark red bands on them. Some with some sort of facettes on them. Those are mean ones. set up correctly, which on stationary devices you can assume to at least 99.9%, one of those can handle both directions, multiple lanes and if there is a certain amount of curve.
But, and I think that is valid across the globe, I wonder who else might come down on you, if you drive around a RF jamming device, emitting relatively high powered RF noise signals that can wreak havoc on any sorts of electronics, wireless commnications etc. I bet the national regulatory agencies for radio frequencies and stuff (In Germany the Bundesnetzagentur, in the UK I think that would be Ofcom, just pick your countries agency) would be very interested in you running such a device. Plus, if it has enough power to disturb the electronics of a speed camera, I wonder if any modern computer on wheels, uhm, car that is, would have a fun day at all and even start.
Here in Australia, they haven't used mobile Radar camera's for years. All LiDAR. Poliscans and Jenoptik brand. They did have Multinova's in the early 2000's that utilized Ka band radar, as well as handheld. I don't think I've seen a handheld radar gun for years, those are also LiDAR AFAIK...
@@Legotruck82 the only handheld one here is the laser gun, although after some court decissions, they cannot really use it handheld, they have to mount it on a tripod. everything else that is mobile is either built into a vehicle measuring and shooting photos through either the back windows or the windshield or they are separate on tripods next to the guard rail or pointed over the guard rail, and operated from a vehicle. (they may also be unmanned though)
The UK Police Forces use the Prolaser 4 Laser Speed detection device.
If you did fit a Laser diffuser to your vehicle, the Laser gun will just come up with an error code 04/07? RFI detected.
Then they will just put an ANPR warning marker on your vehicle, then you will get a tug next time they see you, and maybe inspect your vehicle for a speed jamming device.
@@Legotruck82same here in the UK.
Only the static Gatsometers use 24GHz radar nowadays. Only a small percentage of those are actually 'active' as they swap the cameras around on them.
SPECs average speed cameras are the ones to watch for and the roadside speed camera vans using Laser guns.
That is much like the plug in “tuners” that were scamming people a couple years ago.
People actually thought their vehicles were running stronger after plugging into the OBD2 port. Come to find out they were nothing more than led lights on a simple board. Cost about 26 cents to make and sold for 100 bucks. 😀
I have a similar stealth device in my F-16 but it has an additional 12k resistor in the correct place that makes it fully functional. I fly by speed cameras all the time at near Mach-1 and nobody notices.
At best, it might be a deterant to theives as if it was stuck to the windscreen beside the rear view mirror, some might think the blinking red LED is an indication that a car alarm is active.
Or some sort of tracking device or camera since it looks standalone.
That said, car thieves in most places you'd worry about it just don't care because there's no punishment anymore.

@@tin2001Oxygen-free copper is a legitimate thing, it's just not that impressive for line level audio. What it does excel at is extremely low power signals like those coming out of an electric guitar.

You trying to open the device reminded me of when I would crack open wall wort power supplies the modify that are glued closed. I learned that squeezing the case in a vice did good job breaking open the glued seam when squeezed corner to corner or do the squeeze and rotate method until it cracked open the glued seam.
If the price were low enough, you'd get a battery, solar charger, switch, LEDs and controller chip. But I just bought some solar sidewalk marker lights for $1.25 each at the Dollar Store. So that's about $1 worth of stuff. Amazing that eBay and others allow this to go on.
Yeah, I also noticed a steep influx of chinese scammers suddenly becoming very active on sites like Ebay and Amazon since a couple of years ago. Pretty crazy as they used to stay over at Alibaba/Aliexpress as I recall. Now you really have to be careful and always check the vendor info/location for this stuff. 🙂

This week's show comes from eBay.
Funniest thing (in countries where they're illegal) is that when the police officer gets an error message off only your car they'll probably pull you over to check why.

Interesting - the device is actually a bit better than I expected - I was impressed by the solar cell. And, of course, the blinky LED.
These days, I’m surprised when a Chinese product isn’t junk. I just bought a Chinese foaming soap dispenser expecting likely disappointment, but t is surprisingly nice with capacitive touch controls for adjusting the foam amount, rechargeable lithium battery and a neat capacitive probe which causes an LED to blink when the soap reservoir is low. The quality of the materials is first class too. Someone must have slipped up and allowed a decent product to be exported.
I use a foam dispenser here. They're great.

Could have been a PIN diode. But it's not.
I love how thoughtful these sellers are. They ensure you're not operating a highly illegal device, and if they have to scam you for that, well that's a lesser evil isn't it.

I was just watching your "Electromagnet car de-icer" video from a couple of weeks ago, and the second "De-icer" you showed is exactly the same as this "Stealth Jammer". The PCB looked different, but it did the same thing: making an LED flash when it's getting dark outside.
G'day Clive. Fixing the broken lightning fixtures for Neg Earth still? I used to work next door at Encore.. Would it be possible to look at some solar controllers on the budget end of things? All the best from Sydney..
These devices actually transmit a 666THz or a 461Thz jamming signal.
Yes, the blue one is evil...
I wonder who is behind the manufacturer and sale of these. It probably is just regular scammers but it strikes me that the operators of those cameras stand to benifit even more by watering down the sale of countermeasures with fakes like this.
It's just chinese ebay scammers. I have seen them selling seeds for flowers that are OBVIOUSLY photoshopped

Wool. Conspiracy! Nah, it's just scammers - at least in this case they're just preying on other antisocial gits.

Thank you, you have made the world a better place by documenting a piece of e-garbage and taking it out of circulation.
This explains a lot. Isee so many people driving as if they are invisible... and invincible. No give way, no stopping ag red lights, no cornering on the correct side of the road... basically no f's given.
Sounds like a product that Elon named..
I used to have a real radar jammer. It had two sensor/emitters that you mounted around the same height as the number plate, and an internal control box that had a sounder and LED. On many occasions it went off when I was approaching a man at the side of the road with a hair-dryer. A couple of times I saw them looking quizzically at the display, which apparently says 'error' when jammed.
I'm sure it saved me a few times!
Oh, and they didn't call in for pursuit? Over here if you had an active jammer installed you would have a police car behind you in mere minutes due to them being very illegal over here. Guess you got lucky and just had a lone dude with a hairdryer and no colleague in a car further down the road. 🙂
@@DanakarEndeel they wouldn’t have known it had been jammed; just that the gun returned ‘error’ which happens for a number of reasons.
@@andylinton2798 Oh, I see. Lucky. Over here the cops are so paranoid (and/or need to meet their quotas) they will immediately pull you over to check for any jammers just so they can write a ticket (and confiscate your car to rip your stuff out if they find something).
These provide a vital road safety function. They assist in getting dangerous drivers who want to speed off the roads by getting them sent a nice set of points for their driving licence.
Congratulations on a million subscribers
As a radar jammer it's utterly useless, but it's quite a nice and cheap dusk sensor that you could repurpose for other projects. Radar jammers are exceedingly illegal, but LIDAR jammers exist and are legal in some places. They work quite well if you're willing to pay the high price for one.
Use a Lidar jammer, and the Teslas can't see you.
@@LeifNelandDksounds like a double bonus.
The problem isn’t people being fooled into racking up tons of fines, it is that they want to get away with speeding and putting lives in danger.
I wonder if it was sold as a " Fake Anything & Everything", if it would sell. So many fakes and so little time to find them all. Thanks Clive 👍
I got caught out too .I brought a can of "Inviso paint " you brush it on and abracadabra .when I opened the can it was empty. I rang the help line .a nice lady told me of course you won't see the paint Because it's Invisible 😮. I've ordered two more tins
My simple trick to avoid getting caught by speed cameras is to just not go over the speed limit.
Note that static cameras either use induction loops in the road or ANPR, neither of which are jammable.
(You could possibly use high intensity LEDs to obscure images of your numberplate)
It’s generally better not to break the law in the first place.
Depends on which country you are in.
New Zealand static cameras are nearly all microwave units with a few point to point ones about to be introduced
Something somebody I knew once did was put an ultra bright UV LED strip around his number plate, he drove like a wanker and swore he never got speeding tickets, but who knows…
@@testpilotian3188 wouldn't have had any effect on the film Gatsos, as they used Ilford HP5 in 120 format which has no significant UV sensitivity as anything below 400nm not captured.
Victoria, Australia used to use a pair of induction loops spaced a certain distance apart to measure speed for speed cameras.... Until they started getting complaints about ridiculous speeding fines. An old lady with an old car was accused of doing speeds the car couldn't even get close to even when tested on a race track. Government bus drivers kept getting fines while driving in slow moving morning traffic.
Eventually they had to admit the system was flawed in its design, had to return millions in fines, and all the cameras had to be replaced with radar based sensors.
@@tin2001the same thing happened with red light cameras when it was discovered cities were artificially shortening yellow light times to boost camera hits. Total scam.
I made something similar in 1997 or so to make a fake car alarm by making a face plate with a yellow LED showing through that velcroed onto a storage bay in the dash. On the back side was a single AA battery in a holder, a switch, a capacitor and an LM3909. The data sheet claimed that the battery would last 6 months in continuous use. I used it for 5 years periodically and never had to change the battery. It was a lovely chip.
You can still buy them, but they cost a lot now.
in the late eighties you could build a simple jammer that worked against the then new Ka band radar guns. Some people wired it to the led output of the radar detector so it would only emit when four out of five LEDs were lit, and a kill switch to shut the jammer off if you were pulled over. When the coppers found out about the jammers they quickly lobbied government to make both detectors and jammers illegal in my country with enormous fines especially for being in the possession of a jammer, even if it wasnt active
Maybe worth it for the parts you can rip out. 😂
If you find it in the bin sure, maybe.. But if you buy it.. come on.. don't be a fool ! Usually they are put together from the worst junk they had laying on the shelf knowing very well that they last only a couple weeks.
They should advertise this in the back of comic books.
Long night the day before? Your voice has a real TV promo edge on this particular video - especially the word “jammer”
I was giving it a promo voice.
That looked like screwdriver stuck to palm moment😂
It's probably better that it is fake, because if it did actually do what it said, using it in the States is likely to be a federal felony.
you sure? i saw alot of rich people with 50,000$? anti-laser gun mounted on their luxury cars.
printing out an amazon listing is so funny, you're great
It’s amazing how much money people will spend to try to drive recklessly without getting a citation.
It’s also amazing that a large number of people think that the worst consequence of driving recklessly is that they’ll get a citation.
In my worthless opinion, the presence of this device should indicate the driver intended to be reckless and is negligent - any damage or casualties they cause should be considered premeditated.
That's very sophisticated blinking light in neat package ... 7 Ł ... well that's costly IMHO.
Thank You for review, have a nice day mate !
Amazing speed camera stealth jammer
Great video Clive. I won't be bombing up the A77 for sure! 😂 KITT 2000 in the post!😂
It is so cold here in Canada, that I can't find my spudger either.
color me not surprised...Ive been waiting on the edge of my seat for Clive to publish this. I often wonder how many millions they have made on this. Facebook is peppered with these ads
I had another Chinese product success story. A friend’s mom doesn’t use her car much and the 12V battery was going flat. I found an inexpensive “50 Watt” solar battery maintainer quite inexpensive on eBay. From the dimensions, there’s no way it is 50 Watts, but between 500 mA and 1 A output should be enough. I had to make a longer cable for clipping to the battery terminals. I had her install the panel inside the back window and clip to the battery which is in the trunk. The panel seems to be keeping the battery charged. I suspected the panel might not include a Schottky series diode to block the battery from discharging into the panel at night, but apparently there is a diode.
That's a pretty good idea and a solid, maintenance-free alternative to a trickle charger.
@@Hawk7886 Thanks for the reply. The car’s owner lives in an apartment building, so there’s no place available to plug in a Battery Tender, my first choice. I’m glad that the solar panel appears to be working as needed. Over charging the car’s AGM battery crossed my mind as a potential problem. There’s allegedly some regulation built in, but I have my doubts as to the sophistication. So far, so good though.
Here's one for al gore's rhythm. Thanks for what you do, seriously, it's extremely eye opening.
Its so stealthy that speed cameras could not see it and took picture of my car! :D
terrible world we've come to when an MCU is less expensive than a 555 in parts count
