Adventure Kings 200W Folding Solar Blanket

I own 2 of these 200w blankets and often join them in parallel and they work flawlessly. I just grabbed 1 on my way out the garage to go fishing for a week to keep my trolling motor battery charged, chucked it on the battery at midday today after 7hrs of fishing and was getting 17.8amps out of it Show reply

Don't waste your money – Don't waste your time with this garbage. Best I can get is 70w in ideal conditions. It's cheap for a reason. Lesson learnt. This one is going in the bin. Show details

The output has dropped by 30% over 3 years – After 3 years my both the 200w pannels are now giving 70% of and the time output they originally gave. When new my BMS showed 10amp each and now I only get 7amp. I think this is an unacceptable degradation of performance after 3 years and used 2 months a year. I also have the same issue wigh my 120w panel. I will not buy Kings solar panels and again. Show details

Kings 200W Blanket Poor performance – I have 2 x 200w blankets, the ampage output is very bad, you get very little charge out of them. I put a meter on it alongside an itech blanket. Kings- barely 1 amp / itech-over 3 amps. both in same position. Tested again in full sun Kings- 3 amps / itech 9 amps

Can be hit and miss – Surprisingly good. I have had two of these blankets the first I had never got more than 4 amps out of it but the second I have seen the advertised 9amps+. Kings are known for not being top quality gear but the batch my panel came from must have been one of the good ones Show details ·  1

They don’t work – These things barely put out 4-5 amps. At 200W should be capable of much more. 10 amps would be a reasonable amount taking into account losses etc. ohms law doesn’t lie !

An OK-ish blanket (for a little while) – I purchased this blanket about a year ago. I’ve used it a handful of times. Whilst some say it stops working after a couple of uses, I’ve been lucky. It still works. However, the panels are starting to bubble. I’ve never left (or had) it in the rain. On a great sunny day, I’m lucky to draw 6.5amps. I’m not sure where the 11amp claim comes in.… Read more

I’m yet to see someone say it produces the amperage Kings says it will.

What is disappointing is the fact that Kings ‘passes it onto the product team’, yet they are still making the same panels.

I’m only writing this review as a friend picked up the itechworld 200w blanket. It was better in every aspect. Yes, it did cost more. But I’m happy to spend more at kings for a more decent panel.

Not worth it, invest in a quality product – I bought one of these a few years back not knowing much about them. It's been used 3 times in that time window and after plugging it in over the weekend, it went from working and charging the battery to dead. No support from kings and was told it must be wear and tear and couldn't possibly be a product fault despite been kept dry and packed in… Read more

it's case as per instructions. Definitely would not recommend this product. Invest in a product from another company.

Terrible solar blanket – Chinese crap - wattage nowhere near claimed even under ideal conditions Show details

Cheap second hand products – I bought a kings 200w solar blanket, I've used once last year in January, when I'm not using it, I keep it stored in my house with my camping equipment. I just recently got the solar blanket out today to charge up my fridge, and to also notice the solar blanket has a massive bubble on it. No re warranty No Refund I was told. Lol Cheap trash… Read more

items bought from the kings supa store in Adelaide. Its basically only a ONE TIME USE product. No wonder why people are keeping well clear from kings. Yes they are cheap... No wonder why they are CHEAP. Selling second hand items..as brand new. The customer service, warranty and refund policy STINKS..!!!! How are You Still Open and Running.

STAY AWAY FROM KINGS GUYS... YOU WILL REGRET IT TRUST ME. BUY FROM ANACONDA, BCF OR OTHER CAMPING STORES, YOULL BE BUYING BETTER PRODUCTS

Bad Quality - Bad Support – Bought this Solar blanket less than 2 years ago. Used it on 4 or 5 camping trips, working well enough to keep my battery charged and fridge going. Recently noticed that the front of the panels is peeling, reducing the output power of the panel. When asking Adventure King's staff for recommendations as to what the compound on the front f the panels… Read more

is or what to replace it with once removed, they recommended the purchase of a new blanket. Not impressed with the quality nor the service.

Not advertised power and failed – I purchased 2 of these and one gave out 115w and the other 47w straight out of the box but because i was on fraser island and no shops i used them. Took them back and because it rained in the last couple of days they won’t warrant them. I didn’t buy a coffee machine. I bought a solar device. So we can’t leave them out over night or leave the camp in case it gets wet. Very poor device and not written anywhere that it can’t be left out. Show details

Cheap rubbish – We’ve tried 2 of these now. Both have failed shortly after warranty with no help from supplier. Do not buy Show details

Rubbish – Set up my new 200 watt kings solar blanket today, connected to a top quality victron regulator. 27 deg full sun, produced average 32 watts 1.5 amps... What a joke.. Temp will be in the mid 30's tomorrow so will try again. Unless it proves a dam side better it's going back. Show details

Crap don't even bother – Brought a 200 watt solar blanket,used it once to charge 120amp deep cycle battery in full sun didn't charge at all.. Absolutely useless.... Show details

Failed after 2hrs. Poor service – Testing it out only got 60% (100w. 5A) of advertised Preformance in pretty ideal conditions. Then 2hrs later cover started delaminating and it failed. Kings did not make it easy doing a return. Go elsewhere. Show details

Up to 16 Amp output!? Absolute nonsense – I like the portability it offers. Lightweight, easy to store. After testing it regularly for more than six months under a variety of conditions the stated output rating is completely false. Summer days, between 10:30am - 2:00pm, clear skies, bright sun, the most it would put into my lithium battery has been 7 Amps / HR. Wouldn't buy another one. Show details

Wrong product, no backup from king's! – I purchased the 200w solar blanket and 10 m lead. I received a 4.1 m lead. King's just won't send the correct lead! , won't answer emails, I've called many times. I've had a real run around. Come on king's, where is the customer service? Show details

The same output as my Kings 110W solar blanket – I have a Kings 110W blanket, I liked it and used it. Bought a bigger battery so I decided to buy a bigger solar panel. Bought the Kings 200W and found it's output was the same as the 110W. I was advised by the online warranty process to take it to a local store. They tested it compared to my 110W, and sure enough it was the same output in the… Read more

same setup, charging the battery at 69W full sun at about 11:30am. They said, well this is still working and that's what you should expect. I pointed out that it was the same as my Kings 110W bought in 2019, they said, yeah look at the panels in the 110W, they were better quality, these are different ones now. I couldn't get anywhere with them but they did bring out another Kings 200W from their shop to test it. I kid you not, it only put out about 35W in the same sun, same angle, same setup, they were dumbfounded, as was I. I didn't go home with a new blanket and the online application was denied a few days after. The office spoke with the shop and then emailed me to say that my blanket was working as expected so no return/refund.

Extremely portable, fast setup and strong power output – The unit is very light, simple to set up and pack down and is highly portable. It'll fit anywhere in your car. It delivers about 10.5A in full sun, more when angled correctly. Show details ·  1

My 200 watt solar blanket – My solar blanket has bubbling spots on every pane too most are bout 5/7 mm round I didn’t know other ppl having this happen too… I’ve on used blanket 3/4 times Show details

Poor customer service – Purchased a 200w Adventure Kings solar blanket direct from 4WD Supercentre web site. Product arrived in good time but when I opened the taped up box and removed the blanket I noticed the panels were covered in scratches, many scratches, possible used. I informed 4WD SC via their warranty page with supplied images of the panels, not one but 4 of… Read more

the 6 were in this condition and was offered a 10 dollar store credit but no exchange. If the panels are scratched then it's damaged, correct? Disgraceful. This will be my topic of conversation with-in the Tasmanian trout fishing community this season and would have to be one of the poorest customer services I have ever encountered. Buyer beware, very very aware.

fake rating like most cheap solar – So i have owned and tested 4 of these so far. 2 old model 200w blankets and 2 new model. Using a high quality victron mppt and a new low battery the most i even saw from the old model was 150w. the new model 140w in full sun across australia so well tested in excellent conditions. if you also work out the size of this blanket and calculate… Read more

current efficiency of most solar panels and its sq meterage it is not a 200w blanket. i have seen a few of these bubble as well that mates have owned. kings delete comments on the facebook adds and when you leave a negative review on the site they are filtered. my reviews were always blocked.

200 watt solar panel wont stand the test of time – Worked fine first four times the first year 2nd year out of warranty panels now only have half the output Out of warranty not our problem Pay for what you get
