These are available at almost any store that sells batteries, now. NiCad, NiMHd, all seemed to be stocked anymore.

Solar lights not working anymore?

We Answered:

Usually the rechargeable batteries they are shipped with solar lights are low quality, so it's good that you've replaced them -I've had similar issues with some of mine.

If you've put empty new batteries in these lights and they're not working then they may not be getting charged at all, and so couldn't power any bulb. So, circumvent this possibility by using standard (non rechargeable) batteries, or charge the batteries elsewhere and then inset them into your non-working lights, to check that the bulbs etc. are working. If you use fully charged batteries this way then you'll know that the batteries fine and it's something else, such as dead solar panel, loose wire etc.

Once you've tried fully charged batteries, then it does narrow it down somewhat as to what's been causing the lack of lighting. It may be that this shows that all's fine with the bulbs, and that something else is at issue. Check this out first, and inspect all of the visible components to see if anything looks amiss (I realise you take good care of your goods, but something may have been overlooked in the focus upon batteries).

Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
