A solar charger to keep your leisure time in check
Today a company by the name of PowerFilm Solar has released a new product in hopes to help the ocean boater. This charger maintains a charge for both the boats batteries and the docks lift battery. What that means is that you will be worry free from having to worry if your boat lift will have a dead battery and need a charge when it has been out of use for a whole season. The Power Pier is a great addition to any boating enthusiast such as myself that doesn’t get a chance to go boating on a weekly or monthly basis. The following link will take you directly to the Power Pier product on PowerFilm Solar’s website.
