The 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 is capable of putting out a 2.5 watt charge at it's peak which would help keep a battery alive if left in storage but would not probably recharge a dead battery in use on a dump trailer.

A 90 watt solar charger like part # 34282729 would do a better job.
