Only use rechargeable batteries of the right
size and of the recommended type (see sec-
tion on ”Technical data”).
Ensure correct polarity. This is indicated in the
battery compartment for the rechargeable
battery.
Functioning
The solar cell installed in the article converts sun-
light into electrical energy and stores it in 1 NiMH
battery. Switches on the light as it begins to get
dark. The in-built light-emitting diodes are a very
long-life and energy-saving light source. The light
duration depends on the amount of sunlight, the
angle of light on the solar cell and the temperature
(the battery capacity is temperature-dependent).
A vertical angle of light at temperatures above
the freezing point is ideal. The battery does not
achieve maximum capacity until after several charge
and discharge cycles.
