Hi,

I have a couple of the poundland solar lights I got last year and I want to charge them up for a couple of days before we a away on Saturday.

This is probably going to sound like a daft question but if I set the switch on the lights in the off position (as I don't really want them to come on at dusk now) then will this prevent them from charging up or do I need to have them set to the on position for them to work at all?

I hope this makes sense to someone!!!

Thanks,

Tracy.

Here' s another question, can you take the battery out and recharge it , or are they different batteries, because they are solar powered .

I'm sure mine say rechargeable batteries on them , but do they recharge in a normal charger or are they just recharged by sunlight?

they should still charge in the off position but will not come on and as long as they are standard rechargable batteries like the ones found say in a radio can be charged in another charger fit for the purpose. This is what i have found but stand to be corrected by others as i am only a man and what do we know lol!
