Northern Tool has several solar battery chargers on sale. The 1.8 W unit is $15 and can be found here:

There are several with slightly more power. I purchased one and plan on having it sit on my dashboard keeping the battery topped off while it is sitting in the lot. Thought you all might want to know!

Thanks for the heads up on this. NT had sent me some discount cards ($20
off > $100 and two $5 off > $15). So I bought 2 of the N-Power 15W (I
already had 2) and another N-Power 5W (I have 2 of those too). So, now I
have 75W in two different sizes, ignoring all the sub-5W ones I have. I
made a rack for the 2 15W I already had that I put behind the motorcycle
on the trailer. Now to rig the 4 for GMC roof top use...

Thanks again!

Always appreciate a heads up. But really searching ebay, I have found some really inexpensive really quality small panels on ebay from the $15-$25 range.

Do you have an auction number or vendor name? I like getting these 15W
for a couple reasons. It makes it modular since I use them for several
things and I drive right by the place.

No honestly I just continue to search on there all the time to find them. The only ones I recently purchased have been the 100 watters.
