Best bang for your buck or catfish??? 12 volt solar panel

[thedeerfarm]

Took a deer feeder and made a catfish feeder out of it for my small catfish pond. Last week I hooked up a new 4wheeler battery a friend gave me worked less than a week. Got it hooked to a 12 volt lawnmower battery today. I would like to get a solar panel to keep it charged . Anyone bought one lately and had good or bad results?Thanks

I bought the Boss Buck brand Solar charger from Bass Pro...so far so good...I fill up the feeder about every 10 to 14 days.....saves me from riding down to camp ( 50 mile round trip drive) every day  or two just to feed the fish...it feeds one time in the evening around 6PM

What are you gonna feed in the way of fish food? I'm considering a fish feeder on my bluegill pond.

What size of barrel do you have your feeder mounted to?
