I tested it; it got just over 200 mAh in free air early afternoon, clear sky; and some 30 mAh in the fading evening light behind glass.
We'll see if it does tend the battery enough to raise the voltage to a healthier level.

The panel is meant for indoor use btw. That's why it can be very light, that's why I got it.

I already have a 9W outdoor panel, but couldn't mount it in or on the car in any reasonable way. It now charges our emergency torch. Behind glass...

For education go to people unlike yourself.
