Solar LED Light Hacked Into Solar Battery Charger

This is a very simple instructable.  Really, it's more of an informable than instructable since it's pretty self-explanatory.  I know there have been many other solar battery chargers, but this one was already made and sitting under my nose.

I posted this instructable the day I made it, so the jury is still out on how well it will actually work.  I'm hoping for at least "kinda works, eventually."

Executive Summary:
Get cheap solar light.
Remove LED light from circuit (cutting it works fine).
Use existing rechargeable battery in system, or modify AA battery holder to hold AAA battery.

Step 1 The Backstory

This project started last Christmas when I found a pack of 6 solar powered LED Luminaries at Ollies (a discount close-out store similar to Big Lots, no telling what they might have, but it's gonna be cheap!) for $6. Yes, they were $1 each. When I opened them up, I found they were a solar panel connected to a rechargeable AA battery and a flickering LED. I was thinking about using them for the sun jar project and away into the garage they went.

A few months went by and I bought some cheap mp3 players for myself and the kids (also at Ollie's). Under $10 each, so no bells or whistle and they work fine.  However, they run on AAA batteries. Regular AAA .  Batteries get expensive fast, so I figured a rechargeable battery would be the way to go.  Even better would be a solar powered recharger.  Off to the garage to find the materials.

Yeah, I'm a cheapskate.  In fact, I'm so cheap I didn't even put a picture on this step!
