Will Regular Rechargeable Batteries Work In Solar Lights

I ask because i picked up some solar japanese lanterns at goodwill and not all of them work.

Will regular rechargeable batteries work in solar lights. To begin with rechargeable solar batteries self discharge. I d like to find a different way to use them if possible. While most batteries that will fit will work at least for a while you really should only install nimh or nicd rechargeable batteries for the long term operation of your solar lighting system. This is why it is an absolute must that solar lights are charged every three months.

These batteries work great. With regular batteries in place your solar panels in direct sunlight for a day and then make sure to go into a dark room and switch your solar lights on to see if the regular batteries work in your solar lights. You ll in effect be trying to recharge non rechargeable batteries at best you ll burn out the charging system of your solar light at worst the non rechargeable battery will literally explode with potentially extremely dangerous results. These rechargeable batteries can make your outdoor solar lights up and work again saving you the cost of buying a new batch of solar lights.

Solar light rechargeable batteries are now available on amazon. This will keep your solar light batteries in good shape. This means that over time the batteries will discharge to the point where they no longer work. If the brightness of your lights is back to normal then your rechargeable batteries need to be replaced.

Would you then be able to use a regular alkaline battery in the solar light.
