Well they do work but I have one you plug into the wall socket, there would not be much sunlight in a dark garage with the lights switched off:laugh:. When I come home and if the battery is flat I charge it up during the day and switch it off at night

Easy way to use one mate if you have a garage like yourself, would be to extend the cables, and mount the solar panel on the outside of the garage
:thumbup1:Or you could mount the unit outside, and wire it into a 2 pin plug socket inside the garage, then make a lead with the battery connectors on one end and a 2 pin plug on the other, all you do then is plug it into the socket on the wall when you want to use it :thumbup:

That would be a good idea if it run off rain and snow not the sun:laugh:
