However, you need to make sure that your new battery matches the lamp's specifications, including:
  • Size: Make sure your new battery is the same size as the old one.
  • Voltage: Different solar panels have different voltage output. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your new battery is suitable for this voltage.
  • Current: Similar to Voltage, your new battery should match your panel's current specifications.
  • It is important to mention that you should not choose batteries with too high capacity, as the panels will not be able to fully charge them in a day, which negatively affects the life of the battery.

How to know the right voltage and current for your solar panel capacity?

According to its own mechanism, each battery will have different specifications:

  • Battery type (Li-ion, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH)
  • Size (AAA or AA)
  • Capacity (mAh)
  • Voltage (V)
  • Current (I)
  • Now all you need to do is buy a rechargeable battery with a higher mAh that is suitable for both the Current (I) and the Voltage (V) of your old battery.

Types of batteries commonly used for Solar light

There are many types of batteries, however, the most commonly used in luminaires are lithium-ion batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Battery

 
They are lightweight and have a self-discharge rate of 10%, which is quite low compared to other batteries. Furthermore, they are unaffected by memory effects and have an expected life of up to 1000 cycles, making them the best rechargeable batteries available.
The only downside to these is that they're expensive, so if you're looking for a more budget-friendly battery, this one might not be for you.

Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) Battery

 
Because of their better price, long life, and relatively low self-discharge, Ni-MH batteries are the most common type of storage battery.

Ni-MH batteries come in a variety of sizes, capacities, voltages and currents that will fit any solar light.

 Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) Battery

Unlike Li-ion batteries, these suffer from a memory effect and have about 20% self-discharge making them less efficient.

However, although Ni-Cd batteries don't last as long as Li-ion batteries, they are in fact 3 times cheaper, which makes them a popular choice.

Some FAQs received by Intech Energy regarding Solar light

Can you charge the lamp battery with a charger?

Absolutely yes, just make sure the charger matches the voltage and current specifications of the battery.
Additionally, some solar lights come with a dual charging option, allowing you to charge the light with both the USB cable and the solar panel.

Can I use regular AA batteries in a solar light?

Yes, the lights can work using regular AA batteries, but they will not be rechargeable. In other words, they will work similarly to flashlights.
However, it is not recommended to use ordinary batteries in solar lights because charging AA batteries can produce hydrogen gas, which can lead to fire or explosion.

How do you charge the solar lights for the first time?

Charge the lamp for at least 12 hours before you install it, as it helps the battery reach 100% charge, prolonging its life and increasing efficiency. (similar to when you buy a new phone).

Will solar lights charge when they are off?

Yes, most solar powered lights will still charge even when they are turned off.
In fact, you should turn off the light every few days, as it will allow the battery to be fully charged, extending its life.

What happens when the battery charge is too low?

To save energy and keep the lights on for longer, solar lights will instead emit a dim light, yes, they will gradually lose their brightness until charging begins or until the battery runs out.
