Possibly a solar-powered battery charger?

Never at night, and never during rain.  When the sun comes out, the 
battery is being topped off... and thereafter it's on trickle-charge.

Any place in that direction have solar panels, or those little 
driveway/walkway lamps that have solar panels on top of each lamp?
