Replacement 1.2 volt NiCd Batteries for all of our Solar LED Light Post Caps
Two AA Solar Ni-Cd Rechargable Batteries ensure long lighting power: up to 12 hrs of light when used with our Solar Post Caps.
Ni-Cd – Nickel Cadmium batteries are an older technology; however they have some very good characteristics. These batteries have a longer shelf life as they do not discharge as quickly as NiMH batteries after being charged. Using today’s battery charger technology these batteries are quicker to charge as they have a lower capacity. These batteries typically will give you around 500 life cycles. The price is very attractive and they are perfect for low drainage devices. The down side to these batteries is that they have a “Memory Effect”. This effect will occur if you partially use the battery and then charge it. This will cause the battery to have fewer life cycles. If you discharge the battery before using it, then this problem will not occur. Nicad batteries are still very popular in cordless phones, RC vehicles, solar lights, remote controls, clocks, hand held radios and much more.
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
