Anyone having issues with their solar chargers? I understand that the batteries are slow to charge in cold weather but the funny thing is, when checking the device health - solar panel status, It tells me to add a solar panel to extend battery life.

They need to add something so you can see if the solar panel is charging the batteries. Tough to find out that they batteries are beyond the tickle charge and need to be taken out and plugged in. I can really say that I have no problems with my 2 units that use the solar charging system. One gets the morning sun and the other gets the afternoon sun.

I have three stickup battery cans with solar panels in New Jersey. They never drop below 96 percent regardless of how cold or cloudy it has been.
