Does/Can a solar cell battery charger extend the life of a car battery?
or does it shorten the life by constantly topping it off?
I understand that if you always charge the phone battery to full without draining completely, it sort of gains a memory if you will. now, will installing one of these help a newer battery or hinder, and will it help to extend the life of a failing (older) battery or cause an earlier demise?
It could. Lithium batteries (like in cell phones and laptops) like to be fully dis-charged before re-charging. Lead acid batteries (car batteries) can go completely dead if fully discharged – so, theoretically it could stop that from happening.
