Solar Light Batteries |
 |
Solar and Garden Lights
batteries were often the
Nickel Cadmium type of AA or
AAA size battery. Nickel
Cadmium batteries are no
longer available as they have
been replaced by the more
environmentally friendly
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
variety.
NiMH
batteries are usually of a
higher capacity. The capacity
of AA and AAA batteries is
measured in milli-amps per
hour (mAh). Typically you
will find that your original
batteries are about half of the
capacity of the replacement
NiMH batteries, say, 300mAh
compared with 600mAh or
more. This means they store
more energy and your solar
or garden lights will stay lit
longer. |
