The difference was the storage was at home, no fear of the charger walking off & in Arizona so plenty of sunshine.
As a "comparison", what Danny had was a 3 amp (36 watt) maybe 5 amp (60 watt) solar charger as compared to a 13 watt charger. That additional capacity will make a significant difference in satisfactory vs unsatisfactory battery charging results.
