Does anyone use this type of solar charger to keep their battery charged up when boondocking? Any reviews? Is it worth getting one of these?

$19.99 USD

Matt,

Was that an Amazon photo?  If so, they usually have reviews.  I'd also check Campmor and see if they've got it listed and check their reviews.

looks like the SunForce panel I have...  I use it to keep the battery charged while the trailer sits between trips. I also use it to help keep the battery charged when camping, but we almost always have a hydro site.  It works alright for doing that.. but I doubt it would keep a battery charged if you are into boondocking or even dry camping.  I think for those you want a larger panel with better output.. 

Here is what I have..

This is closer to what you would want for boondocking or dry camping..
