3.0 out of 5 stars Bear in mind..., May 15, 2011

Many folks who are bashing these and other rechargeable AA batteries, because they didn't work well in their solar yard lights, need to get smart and look at what you're replacing.

The vast majority of batteries that come with your solar yard lights are the same physical SHAPE as a AA, but they are NOT AA batteries. They are typically 3.2V Lithium Ion Phosphate, not 1.2V Ni-Cd or Lithium Ion batteries.

So when you buy your yard lights, look at the battery type, its voltage, and its storage rating (most come with 300 to 400mAh batteries). There ARE Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries out there, in the AA form-factor, that are up to 600mAh, which will give you longer run time assuming you have long enough (and intense enough) daylight hours to fully charge them. Also, don't go cheap on your lights... Westinghouse and other name brands will probably charge 600mAh batteries efficiently (due to having a well-made solar cell), while the garbage you buy at places like Harbor Freight (for under $15 per light) is never going to fully charge the batteries they come with, much less higher-capacity batteries.

So remember to do your homework. If you don't know much about basic electricity, ask a friend who does. Don't bash products that you bought to replace a completely different item.

After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance on these batteries for my solar path lighting. I installed them and absolutely nothing happened. They did not charge up at all. I tried to contact the manufacturer to see if there was anything I was missing that might affect charging them, but the website only dealt with the electronics part of the company. The original batteries in my solar lights worked fine, (Seattle area weather not withstanding) so I don't know why these batteries wouldn't charge. After contacting Amazon about it, I decided to return them.

So far so good with these batteries. I have a 8' patio umbrella with a solar powered lights inside. The batteries were about 5 years old and were shot. I ordered 2 sets of these 900mAH to replace the 6 700mAH batteries. When they arrived all 8 batteries were fully charged. They have been working great with no issues so I'll go with 5 stars on this one. Price is a little steap at $9 for 4 but figured I'd go with a name brand and something I can return easily if they don't work. Will update later if I experience any issues.
