Strong, reliable, and easy to use, Coleman's StormBeam Lanterns are designed specifically for use during power outages, storms, and other emergencies. The StormBeam Dynamo Lantern With Radio and Cell Phone Chargers has a built-in crank to recharge the lantern with no outside power source, so you'll always have light when you need it. Just one minute of hand-cranking yields 15 minutes of high-powered light. This StormBeam Lantern features a built-in FM radio with scan function, to help you track weather reports and developing emergency situations. What's more, the Lantern comes with adapters for the 6 most common types of cell-phone chargers (stored inside lantern cap), so you can use the Lantern crank to charge your phone -- vital in an emergency. The Dynamo's bright 0.7-watt LED sheds strong, reliable light and will never need to be replaced. The lantern's battery pack (included) offers consistent charging. The StormBeam Lantern's convenient molded-grip carrying handle folds under the lantern when not in use, for compact storage.

Yes it is spring time. Time to uncover the camper, get it out of storage, pull the gear out of the basement. Get the dust off the folding chairs. Clean and re-sterilize the cooler. Got enough propane? How about bug spray and sunscreen? Load up the camper or the trunk. Fill the gas tank and ready to go for that weekend of fun and relaxing. Later in summer you will be ready for the full week get-away. Meet the friends you see once a year and make new ones at the campgrounds.
Did you think about the battery in your car or the camper? I bet you checked the batteries in your flashlight. Batteries in the radio (you do have one for emergencies don't you)? I think most people don't consider the car or camper battery. But when you are loading or unloading; when the kids charge their mp3 player or you charge your cell phone, some battery power is used. And if your battery is a little old or it was sitting all winter, it may not take much to run it down to the point it won't start your engine.
Do you have jumper cables?
Seriously, if you have a camper it is best to keep the battery charged up during the time it is in storage. Modern vehicles use power constantly. There are emission controls that run while the vehicle is parked. There is also electronic memories for the radio and other things. Many cars will kill the battery, a new battery, in three weeks if you don't run the engine. (It happened to me!)
Even on older vehicles, or no vehicle, the battery will self discharge as it sits. It will go dead even if you take it out of the camper and put it in your basement! I used to do that so it wouldn't freeze, make sure it was on a piece of wood so the charge didn't get "sucked out" through the concrete floor. Then charge it up in spring so it would be ready.
Those things all help. But there is a better way. The new battery chargers (there are many brands) keep your batteries charged. This is important that you don't want it to go too low in charge. They don't completely recover from very low charge. A deep cycle battery will do better at this but they have their limits too.
The chargers I am talking about will switch from charging to maintaining automatically. The maintaining is a low power charge that allows the charger to stay connected to your battery for long periods. It will sense when the battery needs a little and keep it fully charged. There are several brands available in many variations. They can be very small, like the size for a printer or other electronic tool. Others can charge several batteries and multiple connectors for them. There are waterproof variations for watercraft.
The one type I like best is the solar powered charger. They come with their own solar cells that can be mounted or can sit on your dashboard. They come with a plug for the power port on the dash so you don't have to hook wires up under the hood! Just think how handy this can be! Go camping and you don't need to plug in somewhere. There are a lot of great campgrounds that don't offer electricity. There are several sizes available. Power for one battery or all your camping needs.
They are good for your other toys too. The ATV or jet ski can stay on the trailer and still get charged if you store it outside. Now you have room for your car in the garage! If you keep your boat in the water the solar charger can go on the boat to keep it's battery charged up. It will be always ready.
This is the best way to keep your battery ready for camping.
