Depends on what you think they do!
Charge the battery during the day so you can have all your stuff running in the evening? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO definately not!! the small 1.5/2.4watt panels aren't going to do that.
Keep your battery from sulphating whilst being parked up for long periods?.....YES! Just the job for keeping low level activity in the cells to stop your batteries dying through lack of use..
Both me and bessie mate use them and neither of us have ever had a dead leisure/starter battery yet! 3 years and counting.
Like I say...depends what you think they do.
You can buy bigger suitecase types that have usable ouput (as in would possibly help top up the leisure during the daytime whilst away) but they are big and expensive.
