They are pretty good and I'm sure they work on cloudy days to
Yes they are. Any excess sunshine they collect and do not use, gets stored until the sun goes in, allowing you to continue using the item at night/in the dark.
They are not bad... but only trickle charge, so it takes time.

The efficiency of the charging is also affected by how bright and sunny the day is. I run some outdoor lighting that will go 7 hours during the summer, but this reduces to less than 3 or 4 in the winter.
I am unsure what you mean by solar battery chargers?

I have 810 watts in solar modules and they charge a large battery bank. The solar will run my window A/C unit, microwave, TV set, two lights, computer and network hub, cable modem and digital cable box while keeping the batteries charged so I can keep going at night. At times all this stuff is running at the same time but mostly just the A/C unit and a fan along with the network hub and cable boxes. We can run this way for weeks at a time but if needed we can always switch back to the grid if the sun is not strong enough.

So depending on what you are asking.. I say they do great.
