5Watt solar panel - what else is it good for?
I purchased a 5 watt solar trickle charge panel with the 12V plug-in connector and also the alligator clip connectors. It worked great for the 2 months I needed it. But now I don't need it for chargin...

A 5W solar panel is only 0.4 amp in direct sunlight. You need at least 1.5Amp to trickle charge an RV battery. And for many hours, not just during the day.
Many RV manufacturers offer an optional 8W roof mounted solar panel to charge the chassis battery. Those are useless too.
Perhaps you could use it to charge a cell phone.
