In modern life, environmental protection and energy conservation have become an important part of people's lives. Solar courtyard lights are an environmentally friendly and energy-saving outdoor lighting device that can use sunlight to provide clean, electricity free lighting. During the use of solar courtyard lights, batteries play a crucial role, not only storing the energy collected by solar energy, but also providing energy for the lights. Therefore, the quality of the battery directly affects the brightness and service life of solar courtyard lights, so replacing the battery is also very necessary and important.
This article aims to introduce how to replace the battery of solar garden lights. Our Huajun Lighting Factory hopes to provide professional answers to the basic knowledge about solar courtyard lamp batteries, and also provide clear instructions on important operating techniques and precautions.
This article aims to provide readers with concise and concise guidelines to help them replace the batteries of solar garden lights, extend the service life of solar garden lights, and reduce environmental pollution.
I. Understand your solar garden light battery
A. Types and specifications of solar garden lamp batteries
1. Type: At present, there are two types of solar garden lamp batteries: ordinary Nickel–metal hydride battery and lithium battery;
2. Specification: The specification of a battery generally refers to its capacity, usually calculated in milliampere hours (mAh). The battery capacity of solar garden lights varies among different brands and models, usually between 400mAh and 2000mAh.
B. How batteries store and release energy
1. Energy storage: When the solar panel receives sunlight, it converts the solar energy into electrical energy and transmits it to the battery through wires connected to both ends of the battery. The battery stores electrical energy for use at night
2. Release energy: When night arrives, the photosensitive controller of the solar garden lamp will detect a decrease in light, and then release the stored energy from the battery through a circuit to turn on the solar garden lamp.
Huajun Outdoor Lighting Factory focuses on the production and research and development of Outdoor Garden Lights, and has been engaged in cross-border trade for the past 17 years with rich experience. We specialize in Garden Solar Lights, courtyard decorative lights, and Ambience Lamp Custom. Our solar lighting fixtures use lithium batteries, which are safe, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free!
C. The service life of the battery and how to distinguish whether the battery needs to be replaced
1. Service life: The service life of a battery depends on factors such as battery quality, usage, and charging times, usually around 1-3 years.
2. How to distinguish whether the battery needs to be replaced: If the brightness of the solar courtyard light weakens or cannot light up at all, the battery may need to be replaced. Alternatively, use a battery testing tool to test whether the battery voltage is lower than the minimum allowable voltage. Generally, the minimum allowable voltage of the solar garden lamp battery is between 1.2 and 1.5V. If it is lower than this, the battery needs to be replaced.

II. Preparation work
A. Tools and materials required to replace the solar garden lamp battery:
1. New solar garden light battery
2. Screwdriver or wrench (suitable for the bottom and shell screw opening of solar lamps)
3. Isolation gloves (optional to ensure safety)
B. Steps to disassemble a solar courtyard light to access the battery:
1. Turn off the solar garden light switch and move it indoors to avoid lighting up at night and avoid electric shock or injury.
2. Find all the screws at the bottom of the solar garden lamp and use a screwdriver or wrench to tighten the screws.
3. After all the screws or buckles at the bottom of the solar courtyard lamp are removed, the solar lampshade or protective shell can be gently removed.
4. Find the battery inside the solar garden lamp and gently remove it.
5. After safely disposing of the waste battery, insert the new battery into the solar courtyard lamp and fix it in place. Finally, reinstall the solar garden lampshade or protective shell and tighten the screws or clips to secure it.
III. Replacing the battery
The battery life of solar garden lights is usually 2 to 3 years. If the brightness of the solar garden light decreases or cannot function properly during use, it is likely that the battery needs to be replaced. The following are the detailed steps for replacing the battery:
A. Check the direction of the battery and locate the metal contacts.
First, check the new battery to ensure that it matches the solar garden light. To check the direction of the battery, it is necessary to match the positive pole of the battery with the positive pole of the battery box, otherwise the battery will not work or be damaged. Once the battery direction is determined, it is necessary to insert the battery into the battery box and position the metal contacts.
B. Install a new battery and pay attention to correctly connecting it to the interior of the solar garden lamp.
Remove the battery cover. If rust stains or leaks are found on waste batteries, attention should be paid to their safe disposal. After removing the old battery, you can insert the new battery into the battery box and pay attention to the correct electrode connection. Before installing a new battery, it is important to match the plug and interface correctly to avoid unnecessary losses.
C. Close the battery cover and lampshade, reinstall the battery cover, and secure the screws or clips.
If a wrench or screwdriver is needed, be sure to pay attention to the force and be careful not to damage the battery cover or garden light. Finally, return the lampshade to its original position and lock it to ensure that the new battery is fully protected and can function properly.
The Garden Solar Lights produced by Huajun Lighting Lighting Factory have been manually tested and can be continuously lit for about three days after being exposed to sunlight for charging for a whole day. You can purchase Garden Solar Pe Lights, Rattan Garden Solar Lights, Garden Solar Iron Lights, Solar Street Lights, and more at Huajun.
