In normal operating conditions, the unit will last for a minimum of 8 weeks. Thereafter, we would recommend the Lithium-Ion battery be checked. If Voltage falls below the recommended level (3.5v) then the battery should be recharged.
If you are replacing the lithium-ion battery, this must have anti-overload OPP(Over Current Protection), discharge below, overcharging protection, SCP (Short Circuit Protection).
Please be aware: The solar panel is inside the enclosure & therefore, the unit should be installed in a location where it can receive full direct daylight when at all possible. If the unit is installed in a shaded or part shaded location and/or indoors you can expect a minimum of 10 days illumination before battery recharge is required.
Cold weather can have an adverse effect on battery consumption.
The illumination time is estimated and subject to various factors including;
- location of product.
- seasonal change
- poor weather conditions
The illumination time of most solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor and the days are shorter.
All of our lights come with a daylight sensor (photocell) to ensure operation from dusk till dawn. If there are any other strong light sources nearby this may affect the operation of the sensor.
Please note, Should you store these lights for an extended period there will be a natural discharge of the Li-ion battery. We would recommend a full recharge before returning the unit to service.
If your unit is sited in an incorrect location this will have an adverse effect on the solar panel. This does not constitute the product being “defective” or function “not as described”. If the conditions are not suited to siting a solar panel efficiently our standard Battery powered light may be more suitable.
