Has anyone used these, or know anything about them?
Are there any
better units than these? I'm aware of the Strobl
units from Germany,
but they are about twice the cost per amp.

No, I don't know anything about those particular
panels, I just want to
point out that even with only 200 ma of charge, you
will need a charge
controller or you risk cooking your battery. Last
time I checked, they were
a $29.00 item. I ruined several batteries before
I learned.

Howzabout some particulars?
