Do these still slowly drain the battery while its off, or has that been fixed?

I have not had any problems with mine. I would rate the unit as a " C " but if you are looking for mainly the visible light factor, I have switched to using my Voidhawk mini raptor for $35.00 plus the battery, charger, and weapons mount for half what I paid for this unit. Just my two cents.- Mike

They may drain the battery over time though I haven't changed the battery in over 6 months

I'm not sure if these work while are charging, I suppose these does. But these do not have any "sleep" mode. Only ON and OFF mode.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.

I charge them all the time. I'm sure it may take longer than lower output batteries but I have not measured the difference.

Ive had no issues with mine not working due to rain harming wiring. I would turn them to the off position until you can get a few days of full sunshine, then turn them back to the on position. This will get the battery a good full charge. I think they will be fine once you do that. So basically to answer ypur question, YES! They should work fine once you start getting full sun!

I have left mine overnight and did not notice any problem. I think it would be best, however, to remove them promptly after they are fully charged.

they work okay. If they are on stand by for two long they go off line and need to reset (turn off and on) Thanks!

I do not have a problem with mine staying charged. I use Energizer batteries.

Yes they all do that, and these takes a long time to charge....just plug them in, let it sit over night into tomorrow and they will turn green and full...i have mine cycled 10x already on empty and they still hold a charge..so it's good thus far

Not that I know of. Do they just not turn on? Or are there other issues. I can maybe help. Another good place to check would be forums.

Mine also were glowing dimly after they were off. I didn't notice any significant draw from battery but with the unusually cold weather I've had, I decided to just reinstall my old ones.

They are battery only. It has an auto off feature. Battery life seems to be good

I never unplug any of mine. They have been plugged in since I installed the unit.

Mine are still on the original batteries and I've used them through 3 dinner parties. They have run approximately 12 hours for me and there is still light. They are led lights so they pull very little off the batteries.

Yes, they do need to be on to charge. Turn them off when they will not be used for awhile.

The newer units I received are better, but the battery will still go dead if they are unplugged for several months. Depending on how you use them, this may or may not be an issue.
