Step 2Recharge the batteries
If the batteries in your light are stuck in, skip this step to step 3.
Place the rechargable batteries into a recharger for a while. If your light hasn't been working for a while, then the solar panel will take a looong time to revive the dead batteries. This will just give the batteries a kick-start so that the solar panel will just top it up during the day.

I spent at least an hour searching for this info....finally found this website and was just what I was looking for. I wondered if my battery recharger would work on solar batteries and now I know it will. Thanks.

there is no such thing as solar batteries they are just standard nickel-cadmium batteries. possibly a solar brand but they work the same.

Also, these Ni-Cad batteries are often a low Ah rating for such applications, so the small solar cell has no trouble recharging them to a usable state, if you upgraded them to, for example, 2100mAh NiMH batteries, they'd be dead within no time as the solar panel will never produce enough charge them... :)

I replaced the 2 NiCd batts in mine with 2300mAh NiMH. They seem to be holding up after one year of use.
