prior to attempting to elude detection. Grab a pencil or something to open the jaws of the alligator clip. Replace the insulated cover on the wire by sliding it back off the clip. Repeat for both wires. The rubber insulator is then squeezed through after the clip has been inserted. Then, to reattach the insulator to the clip, repeat the procedure.
It will work as long as the sun is shining.
The number 5W is correct.
My battery should be charged at all times. Mine had been on my feeder for 6 months and was still there when I approached the feed area.

A deer (game) feeder replacement motor (GSM Outdoors 30591) was suggested as part of a bundle. It's important to note that it's the wrong part. This is a generic solar panel with two gator clips that will not connect to the motor's factory connectors! I decided to just make it work because the voltage was correct and the output was adequate (per testing). To that end, I ordered a male/female connector, cut the factory one from the motor kit and the wires from the panel, soldered and sealed the new connectors in place, and it now trickles-in. My game feeder's 6V battery is charged. I gave it five stars because it is well-made and appears to be tough enough to survive in the wild; it came with plenty of hardware to secure it to the feeder, as well as more than enough wire to place it wherever you want (I zip-tied it to the feeder). extra was tied). The connectors are Amazon's fault for recommending them, and mine for failing to do my homework. Hardware- I'm happy with it, and when I went back to check on the feeder at the end of the summer, it was running smoothly. If I remember, the next time I go into the woods, I'll take a photo of the installation.
I replaced the cheap solar units that came with the Moultrie Feeders with this unit, and the quality and output are now significantly improved. This is an excellent product that performs admirably.
A hunter's eye view. Everything is in order. This has been on my feeders for 2 months and the battery is always 100%. That being said, I purchased a 6-pack of high AH batteries at the same time. Little did I know that the battery on the feeder that does not have this solar panel is still at half charge after four weeks. It doesn't run very often, but my goal is to fill the feeder and leave the area untouchable for the next six weeks. The moral of the story is that if you need all season (bow), this is the way to go. If you only need the battery for four weeks, consider upgrading to a better battery, which is also available on Amazon. The UPG - which I use - is the battery that I use. UB645.
Instead of alligator clips, my eight Moultrie feeders are powered by a solar panel with a male plug. So I bought a 12 volt male pigtail (for security cameras) as well as red shrink butt connectors (for 18 gauge wire) and shrink connector crimpers, as well as a male power plug. (The alligator clips were cut off. ) ) I then used a plastic wire protector and zip ties to prevent squirrels from chewing on the wire near the plug. Because the proximal wire is already protected by metal conduit, I only need to protect the distal wire near the new plug. This is far superior to the flimsy original name-brand solar panel, which was constantly breaking off.
This was incredibly simple to set up! Even though I hunt in a heavily forested area, I get enough sunlight to keep my batteries charged! It's made of durable materials and is ideal for the job! I would strongly suggest it!.
On my 55 gallon deer feeder, I installed this item. It was simple to set up and appears to function as intended. The only problem was that, despite the fact that the lead wires were long enough, the hard protective sleeve was too short for my hookup. I used a spare sleeve from a previous system to add to the mix. A minor issue has been resolved.
When tested, the unit's output appears to function as expected. We'll see how the unit holds up to the elements over time, but it appears to be functional and reasonably priced for the time being.
I connected it to the feeder's battery. Every day, I position this object in direct sunlight. This device appears to drain the battery's power. I used to charge it every two weeks or so, and the battery would last about that long. After charging the battery again and connecting the panel, the battery died after three days.
