Outdoor solar lights are an excellent and efficient way to light up your garden or outdoor space. Solar lights use the energy from the sun to generate power, meaning that you don’t have to worry about the energy costs associated with traditional lighting methods.
The lights are powered by batteries, so it’s important to know what type of batteries are being used.
Most outdoor solar lights use rechargeable batteries that can be recharged by solar energy or by connecting them to a power source such as an outlet or car charger. These types of batteries, known as Solar Rechargeable Batteries (SRB) are typically NiCad (nickel-cadmium) or NiMH (nickel-metal hydride).
SRBs are designed to store energy from the sun during the day and then release it at night when the light is needed.
The other type of battery used in outdoor solar lights is a non-rechargeable battery, such as an alkaline or lead acid battery. These types of batteries don’t need to be recharged and last longer than SRBs, but they also have higher initial costs. Alkaline batteries are usually found in smaller outdoor solar lights, while lead acid batteries are typically used in larger ones.
Conclusion:
Outdoor solar lights use either rechargeable Solar Rechargeable Batteries (SRB) like NiCad and NiMH or non-rechargeable alkaline or lead acid batteries depending on their size and purpose. SRBs store energy from the sun during the day and release it at night while non-rechargeable batteries don’t need recharging but come with higher initial costs.
