the solar light is very bright but you will have to ask the manufacture about the battery life

I did not open the three covers on bottom that house the batteries so I'm Sorry butI can't help you without taking my pole down also. JB

The solar flag pole light takes three AA rechargable batteries. It has a 1/2 inch hole to secure to the pole. I fly the flag 24 hrs a day, rain or shine. I suggest you clean the solar cells periodically. I think you will be very satisfied as I am.

The batteries are in the unit and I haven't had any problems to check. I do like the unit....so do the neighbors.

The light uses AA Ni-Cad batteries that come with it. I recall 3 batteries. I originally charged mine before putting the light up and so far it is working well. Mine has been in use since December and I live on the Oregon Coast so we don't get sunshine every day.

Hi I have a question regarding solar lights batteries. I bought some solar lights this month and the batteries that came with it is: AA 1.2V 450 mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries. Will this type of batteries from amazon (being 2000 mAh) be compatible with my solar lights? Will 2000 mAh damage my solar lights? Thanks.

It uses 3 dinky coin (LR41) batteries. Since it's an LED light, the batteries are lasting longer than I had expected: 60 hours and going strong!

I just went out to count how many LED lights it has.I counted 24,my flag pole is 20 ft., they are bright enough to light my flag.A couple of weeks ago I took some friends to the airport 4:00 AM .When i got back from the airport I was amazed the lights were still on at 5:00 AM, it was still dark.I don't know the size batteries but This was a GREAT PURCHASE.They say the average life of the batteries is 2 yrs. The light fit in top of flag pole, took less than 5 minutes to put on.I have a telescoping pole.I totally recommend this light. Mark Fifer

It's a 6 volt 4.5Ah rechargeable sealed lead battery. My original was made by Power One and failed to hold a charge after 18 months. This battery represents about 75% of the weight of the light... lead will do that. I found a replacement on Amazon for about $10, which claims they need to be replaced every 3-5 years. I just ordered it, so no comment on performance. Here is the link: UPG UB645 Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

It is some kind of coin cell type battery. It is not meant to be replaced by the user. The lantern failed miserably after a few months of use. The plastic gears broke inside. I would not buy this again and I would recommend you avoid it.

Special kind of battery. Battery is not a problem. The light is. It will not last. Don't buy it.

I would assume rechargeable batteries would work. I have not tried it though. It is very easy to replace the batteries. The back base of the fixture is screwed to the wall or you can use the double stick tape that comes with it and stick it to the wall. Once the base is on the wall, the light fixture removes easily by just turning the fixture slightly to release it. Then you have exposure to the battery compartment.

I recommend replacing the 1000 mAh batteries with better ones after the originals wear out. One of the comments when I bought my Moonrays was that, " 3 AA NIMH batteries of at least 2000mah capacity for each light," are better. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries aren't cheap but are worth the price.

You can buy new batteries (these are recharged by the sun though and you won't have to very often!) We have had the lights out for 3 months or so. They come with batteries. They are solar powered. The batteries get power from the sun. They do wear out eventually (as we have had similar lights) but these are nice looking and are working fine with no battery changes. Hope that helps. We live in a sunny city in CA. I know hard to understand: batteries and rechargeable but no worries about frequent changes at all. None so far. They did come with batteries.

There are certain Cree flashlights & other Cree lights that use that type of battery. U just have to search which ones. Hope this helps you.

The light uses two CR2032. You can get 20 here for $8.50Sony 3V Lithium CR2032 Batteries (4 Blisters of 5), 20 Cells

Send it back while you can. The batteries are expensive, not good for much else, and my light fried after a couple of months. I bought a Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen headlight found elsewhere on Amazon. It uses good old AA batteries, provides plenty of light, and has been going strong since the first week in Sept. My son also has one of these headlights and we use them on a daily basis.

The one flag I have is all lit up but the farther down the pole you go the dimmer it gets. I don't think a second flag would be very lit up. The following is the description on the Web site. It has a 1/2" hole in it for the ornament ball shaft to go through. Up to a half inch bolt will go through it.

The batteries in the d.light LED Solar lantern are nickel-metal hydride. They do not develop a memory. You can recharge the lantern at any point of its use cycle with no concerns of shortening battery life.

I see your point. You think the solar panel on the light should be sufficient to make these work without batteries, but that's not how it works. These lights have a small solar panel that is attached to the batteries and which charge the batteries to make them work. As opposed to regular batteries which will die within a few days, the solar panel charges and recharges these batteries to make them last a year or two.
