Question by Pat S: How to tell if solar garden lights are working?
I am looking after my friends landscape. I never see the lights turn on now? Do I need to replace the batteries or do I need a new set of Solar lights? Are solar lights connected to an electric outlet? Where do I buy a solar battery charger ( hardware stroe, Walmart, Target?)? The top of the solar panel look dirty and old. Does it look like I need to replace the solar lights for them?
Best answer:
Answer by pipe stranglerMost likely batteries but they are prone to water ingress so take them apart to look for any corrosion on the terminals/wiring etc.Solar panels need to be clean to get good results from charging. If you have a charger for nicads its worth trying a charge to see if lights are working themselves.
