Are they somehow "rechargeable"?Placing them out in the sun or some such thing?

Yes that is how you basically "recharge" them and it does work just place them outside or anywhere in direct sunlight for an hour or more if you want and then they will be ready to use again. Also the smell of whatever you used them for should be gone. I use mines in my running shoes and after I recharge them they don't smell anymore and go right back into my running shoes again. I hope this answered your question!!

Mine didn't work well when I got them. I purchased some rechargeable AAA batteries made for solar lights (about $5 for a 4 pack) and swapped out the batteries. They work great now and last all through the night even on cloudy days.

Yes. They have rechargable batteries installed. I took them out of the box, hung them and they worked great. I love them. I will be purchasing more.

Nothing, you have to remember there are not that many hours of sunlight at this time of the year. The batteries are only getting charged enough to give a short time of light at night. Mine are in full sun all day too and I maybe get a hour of light. In the summer they get so many more hours of light and it first gets dark at 8:oo or 9:00 central time, then they seem to stay lit almost all night. If you want them to stay lit longer for a few nights, remove the battery and give it a full charge in a battery charger that you plug in to an electrical outlet. I hope this helps.

As long as they get a lot of sun light, I see no issue. Use Velcro, you may want to be able replace the cheapo rechargeable batteries.

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.

You have to charge them with an external air sourse, like at a gass station. However a small cigarette lighter plug in type can work if necessary.

I do not have mine installed with direct sunlight and they charge just fine. They are installed under a ledge of a stone wall it absorbs enough energy to stay lit all night without issue. Installed 8+ months. No problems.

Hello. Yes they are rechargeable. However please note that they use mini USB connector rather then micro USB. It's not a big deal but somthing to be aware to.

These are solar-rechargeable. As you place them in the ground, pull the top off (the cylindrical top from the clear plastic portion underneath), then pull out the plastic tab. That tab prevents the electrical charge from the solar cell on top from reaching the storage cells inside the top cylindrical unit. It's the storage cells inside that light the LED.

Yes, they have rechargeable batteries that are charged by the small solar panels on the top of the light.

Unlikely but its possible. I use mine in a high sun area and if there is a cloudy day they dont last the full day. It all depends on how much light they get. Its possible they have also improved the quality of the solar panel since I purchased mine so you could get better results. The battery powered ones are actually much easier. I put some in last spring and they are still going strong on the same set of batteries (i left them out during the winter).

They have internal batteries, not replaceable ones. But the units are ready to go (or get charged by the sun) when you get them.

Yes, they are rechargeable batteries. I will say I wished they lasted longer. I think mine last about 1 hr when not hooked up directly to the outlet.

My friend has some in her planters but they have to get direct sunlight in order to charge. These are wonderful! The best ones we have found.

Hi ! They recharge once they are back on the base. Just make sure you have the D size batteries in the base.

They're not rechargeable. There is a slot on the end of the battery pack but a small amount of pressure won't open the pack. When one of the collars stops working I'll use more force to see if the battery is replaceable because I won't feel too bad if I destroy the collar.
