a. Make sure your solar light is located in an area where the solar panel gets the maximum
amount of full, direct sunlight every day.
b. If the weather has been rainy or overcast during the day, the battery will not be charged for
operation at night. This is normal. The solar light must have direct sunlight every day to fully
charge the battery. If the solar light does not receive enough sunlight one day, it will recharge
the next sunny day and resume normal operation.
c. Check for obstructions to solar collector panel: over hanging branches, shade from bushes,
trees, fences, buildings and the like.
Relocate the light to a sunnier location.
d. Dirty solar panel: a dirty solar panel will not allow the battery to fully charge. This will shorten
the life of the battery and cause the light to malfunction.
Clear regularly with a dampened
cloth or paper towel. Don’t use strong detergents or acid based cleaners.
After correcting the problem, check the light operation immediately after dark or in a
dark room. If the light will only operate for a short time, the battery needs recharging.
2) Light out
a. Check for an external light source: street light, porch light, flood light may be preventing light
from automatically turning on at night.

size: lithium battery , 3.7V, 2000Ah*3pcs, maintenance free.
