Three of the lights in my solar garden lights are not working, I've brought them in and found they have batteries in them and so i have replaced the AA yellow batteries with duracell AAs, what's the worst that can happen and will the sn still charge up these batteries?
Oh right, I thought the sun was a different thing to electric, so i wonder if those other batteries were just ordinary ones and not solar powered, which would explain why they stopped working.
OR, are they rechargables that need electric to charge them rather than the sun. it says Ni-Cd AA600mAh 1.2v on them in tiny writing and they are a plain yellow,
hadn't thought about that dot, maybe they are special ones that only work with the sun! Ooooh! maybe google replacement batteries for solar outdoor lights!!!..................
i gave up on solar powered lights and just got low voltage ones and ran the cable under the lawn and hid it behind bushes and shrubs...they worked a treat until the cat bit through the wire [good job they werent plugged in at the time].....or else it would have been up there with the space station lol
It;s not a wind up - it;s battery power, lol, no seriously I thought the lights were charged by the sun, I didn't know there was an actual AA battery in the lid.
it's similar, these ones are plain yellow with jst tiny writing on, so they can be charged with an electric charger? That;s good i have one of those, wonder why the sun doesn't work anymore though?
I don't need new lights they are all fine now, and if I re-charge these yellow ones they can go back into the ones I have used the duracells on tomorrow.
