thank you all for your replies

Right now I'm leaning toward either the harbor freight 5 watt or the one from NorthernTool found here

Although the NT one doesnt give a power rating, I inquired about it's power and am awaiting a reply. They both are 49.99. But after burgermans post I am wondering if 5 watts is going to be enough. I have a johnboat on a pond that I use twice a day. The battery only needs charging 2-3 times per year, but I just am lazing and dont want to be lugging that battery down from the pond. In the winter I would put it on the barn roof and connect it to my 12v tractor battery. Plus, my dog chewed the cables on my last charger and am in need of a new one anyway, thus the thought of solar.

I guess now, my biggest question is 5 watts enough and does 350MA equal 5 watts? As you can tell, this is all a learning experience for me.

thanks y'all
