Can I use these batteries in solar landscape lighting? I'm hoping with the increased mAh rating (600 is what the lights came with) the lights will stay on a little longer.

That's what i'm using them for and so far so good. I am not having any problems with them!

With there ability to keep and hold a charge for long periods as well as be recharged numerous times these batteries will do a great job for solar lighting units.

I use these batteries in some of my solar lights, and I believe they are specifically meant for that use. The charger is built into the device. Just make sure the device is turned on and the solar panel can get some direct sunlight and they will charge quite well. They have worked well for me so far.

You would have to check with B&D. I looked on the battery and the box it came in and could not find anywhere what the mah rating is (which is kinda strange). I can report that they do last a long time.

the ones I have light up very nice while being in the sun, bought better batteries for these lights to work. maybe their is a defect with yours. should maybe send them back and get replacements.

Depends on the brand. I have some that are metal, but some are plastic. However, I haven't had much luck with any brand of solar lights. They never seem to last long - I don't mean how long the light stays on per day; but the longevity of the product. I just replaced the rechargable battery in the units. One still does not work so I don't know if it's the bulb. I keep hoping that they will continue to improve the quality of the product and the brightness of the lights.

if you mean household lights,home lamps.this would depend on your solar battery charge.i have used 2 lights at once on a full charge.,for several hours with no problem.

They only draw 200 mAMPS (0.0000002 amps) so the wattage is really insignificant if you are worried about battery life. I am in road construction and normally leave mine running for 5-6 hours and have never had a problem. FYI: I run these at the same time I am running my overhead light (strobe) and four corner strobes.

Mine are still working after 3 months but not as well. They don't stay on as long nor are they as bright as they were in the beginning. Try cleaning the solar panel or adjusting it's position, that helped me a little.

I did not use on solar light, but these are definitely better than those batt that came with solar lights. My original solar light batt has a rating of 600mAh. These are ranging from 1000-2000 mAh.

these batteries are slightly thicker than the usual ones, however if you have room in the battery case, they should be fine. Electronically there is no problem whatsoever for these to work, and if you have a different plug you can just replace that. these batteries last me 2 and half times the regular supplied batteries that are 1500 MAH

HI Edward, I have 3 of these batteries in a high school marching band trailer (big semi trailer). We use them to power LED lights inside and outside the trailer (and have a solar panel to charge them). They sit about 12 feet off the ground, up high inside the trailer, which gets very hot inside during the day. We are in Texas, where it gets very hot during the summer. We've had the batteries (3 of them) about a year now, and no issues so far!! Let me know if you have other questions, I'm very happy with these batteries so far!! Brent Jensen bjensen@us.ibm.com

Hi Ai:According to the specs for your light, this battery should work fine.Just make sure to check that the volt and mah are compatible. You can go a little lower on volt and mah but not higher otherwise you risk damaging the light.RegardsKathy

I did not have success with them, only temporarily. Due to higher voltage, 4.2 Volts, they have a regulator that cuts off when ever he wants and your flashlight will go dark, even do the voltage will read 3.2 on the voltmeter.I used them in a NOVA flashlight. Rechargeable batteries made 2 or more years ago with different technology worked fine, and their initial voltage after charging was 3.2 V. Honestly I don't know what are this batteries for, I will not risk an electronic devise with them. I am an electronics engineer. Sorry Tenergy.

Since my review of these, I found out that the battery can be replaced. These advertise as having a 600mAH NiMH battery. Mine had a 400mAH battery. I opened the black box and replaced the battery with a larger strength battery at full charge and they now work great again. I don't think the sun is strong enough to indefinitely charge the battery. It needs to be fully charged in a NiMH battery charger (do not use NiCD- nickel cadmium). So far, these lights have been brightly glowing on my dining room table for the last 3 nights. It's worth a shot, since they truly are very pretty. I did learn that the higher the number on the NiMH battery, the longer the lights will function. I had a 1850 that I experimented with and it is working. Don't know if the sun strength and duration is good enough to recharge it. That's my next experiment. Hope this helped.

Mine were a bit dim when I got them.. I just replaced them with another Double AA battery I bought at the store.. no special battery... after I replaced it,it lit right up at dusk.. stayed lit until morning. I've enjoyed mine.. they do shine brighter with newer batteries, any kind.

I would think so, but I wouldn't know since I havent used them yet. I got them as a back up. since eventually battery packs go out I figured I would only use them if an emergency occurred. Put them with bug out stuff (Hahahah i a prepper), figured If I get 6 months to a year of light with sun power in a OMG situation, the 12 bucks was worth it :) I should crack one open to see serial number or pack to see if they are available for back ups......hahaha back ups for my back ups couldnt hurt!

I have "NO IDEA" I use these for landscape lights in which that doe NOT come into play !!! Sorry
