Replacement 1.2 volt Ni-MH Batteries for all of our Solar LED Light Post Caps
Two AA Ni-MH Rechargable Batteries ensure longer lighting power: up to 18-20 hrs of light when used with our Solar Post Caps.
Ni-MH – Nickel Metal Hydride is a newer battery technology. Many of the old Nicd batteries are now available in NiMH. These batteries have a much higher capacity then Nicd, so your device will have a much longer run time in between charges. NiMH batteries do not have a “Memory effect” so you can charge them even if they have only been used a bit. They are more expensive then Ni-CD, however you can typically get around 1000 life cycles. These batteries are also more environmentally friendly as they have nothing harmful in them. They are best used in high draining devices; Digital Cameras, Children’s toys, Walkmans, Discmans, Cellular phones, flash lights and more. If used in slow draining devices like Solar Lighting, they will allow for longer time of lighting from the device.
Milliamp Hours (mAh) – Applies to how much energy the battery can store (capacity of the battery). The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last before needing to be charged. One mAh is the equivalent to 1/1000 Amps. IE: 2.5 Ah = 2500 mAh.
INSTALLATION & TROUBLE SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS: SOLAR POST CAPS
If your solar post cap light becomes dim or does not light, simply turn the switch to the OFF position for 48 hours and allow the solar collector to fully re-charge the batteries.
If your solar post cap does not light or stops working, try these steps:
1. Remove the metal top by pressing in on the side of the plastic lens.
2. Turn the metal top upside-down and place it on a table so that the solar collector is covered (not exposed to the light). A light sensor inside will prevent it from lighting during the day.
3. Make sure the protective plastic tab between the batteries and the terminals has been removed.
4. Make sure the batteries are making contact with the terminals and the contacts are clean..
5. Make sure the on/off switch is in the ON position.
6. If your solar post cap light still does not light, place it in direct sunlight with the switch in the OFF position for 48 hours to fully recharge the batteries.
7. If your solar post caps light still does not light, replace the batteries with AA rechargable solar batteries
