    The design isn't very smart. It can't be good for the battery to be constantly charging while getting hammered by the sun all day.
    These ones at Bunnings have a separate solar panel so you don't need to locate the actual light in the sun & fry the batteries all day long.

      Wouldn't it have some simple mechanism to reduce current when the battery charge reaches a certain threshold? Also, what bnh said, I have an el cheap one that is going on 3+ years now.

      But I guess you're right that there's no getting around the fact that the lifespan will be reduced from the constant heat exposure.

      • WatchNerd on 11/10/2021 - 11:21

        Well a mobile phone would be more advanced than this and even they top up the battery intermittently if you leave it on charge after it's reached 100%.
        That's why it's recommended not to charge your phone overnight.

        Regardless it's a fact that heat is the worst thing for a battery whether it's being charged or not. Post a deal for a dashcam with a battery on here & watch all the negative comments.

          And complexity creates problems. You can't just cut the charging circuit in a phone, otherwise it'd turn off when you unplugged it; before the vdroop kicked the battery back 'on'.
          Not to mention, it would see no battery. This is a problem for 'smart' devices.

          Just google the charging IC if you buy one, and you'll be able to read the actual spec sheet and see how it handles it's charge circuit.
          I've never found one that didn't either hard-cut above a threshold, OR over-spec the voltage of the battery, so it can never fully charge.

          Regardless it's a fact that heat is the worst thing for a battery whether it's being charged or not. Post a deal for a dashcam with a battery on here & watch all the negative comments.

          Thats not a like for like comparison.

          Dash cams use mini LiPo batteries, a very high density, but very volitile type of battery. Actually dangerous to leave in the sun, as they're soft-pack and will flame out.

          Solar lights use NiMh or NiCd, which are both totally happy (and rated) to at least 45C on daily use; Significant quality loss doesn't really occur until over 50C.
          Yeah, it probably could reach that internally on a hot day, but it's also a solar light, you know? Even if the batterys cycle life shorted from 3000 cycles to 1000, thats still 3 years worth of use, before you need to pop another $7 set of batteries in it.

          SOME of them will use LiIon is even more tolerant; with ratings up to 55C for daily use, and a 'max' temperature of 76°C. Catch 22 is that beyond 76C you risk 'detonation', which in a LiIon is usually just some smoke and liquids; the benefit of being a metal-sleeve tube type of battery.

        • macrocephalic on 11/10/2021 - 12:54

          Lithium batteries last best when left in the 40%-80% range. You can't really overcharge any modern phone, but it may slightly lower the life of the battery to keep it at high charge all the time. BUT, it also hurts the battery to let it completely discharge often. Further, fast charging a battery will shorten it's life span.

          So, what's the best method to charge your phone? Should you never charge it overnight and then have it go flat, and then have to fast charge it during the day? Or is it better to slow charge it overnight and have it last the whole day on that one charge? I suspect I know the answer, but I don't have proof.

          In the end though, most people don't keep their phones long enough for the battery to be the real problem, and if they really cared they could probably pay to have the battery replaced. I'd rather wake up every morning knowing that my battery is charged and ready to go than stress about a few extra charge cycles on the battery.

            The best is to slow charge it over night.

            Most phones are coming SOMEWHERE in the range of 5000mAh these days.
            If you can find an older 1A charger, you simply use that each night, with voltage losses, it takes about 5.5-6 hours to charge from near zero to full.
            So assuming 7-8 hours of sleep, It's only 'sitting on the charger' for around 2 hours or so.

      Good points (remember this when buying an EV) - find a shaded park at work!

      As for this itself. Can you swivel the solar panel around so it covers and shades the light and battery?

      • MasterScythe on 11/10/2021 - 13:03

        Dont worry, the battery packs in EV's are shaded by the body, and are unharmed until the batteries themselves reach over 55c. Even with road reflection, thats one HELL of a hot day.

        • tunzafun001 on 12/10/2021 - 01:16

          Hmmm. Not really. Most battery testing is based on 25C. You lose cycles/ life as you move away from 25C.

          44 - 47C days are now the summer norm. 52C for almost a week at my work, but that's due to reflective glass on buildings and tarmac surface. So if its 47C outside, Inside car temps on those days in the sun are in the 60 -70C range. Batteries packs underneath are expose to road temps 70C+. My car has an aircon that cools the battery. But only runs when the car is on. Battery temp from the OBD port is usually 44C- 49C on those days (parked in as much shade as I can). Aircon fights a battle with the hot road. Batteries don't drop below 38C.

          Now on my second battery. Love EV cars. But Australia (particularly inland Australia) is brutal on the current tech. We need to start building solar charging carports in OZ. Shade and charging while at work needs to be the norm.

    • Thrifty McGifty on 11/10/2021 - 11:59

      Ironically, the reviews on the Bunnings Gardenglo one say the batteries don't work past 12 months.

      • MasterScythe on 11/10/2021 - 12:33

        Yes and I can tell you why; that's the brand I just finished repairing a bunch of.
        https://www.bunnings.com.au/gardenglo-400lm-black-solar-secu…

        They use a 5v regulator circuit, and a 6v NiCd battery pack; meaning the NiCd's which are known for memory effect, never get above about 10-20% charge. (they're also only 400mAh cells?!).
        NiCd cells can handle up to 1.3-1.6v while charging, especially at such a low current as a small solar panel (NiCd and NiMh are current based charging, not voltage based; but they still require a certain BASE voltage to be ABOVE in order for current to flow; usually 1.3-1.6v per cell. At rest, 1.2v is nominally charged, and 1.3v is fully charged).

        So, you simply cut one cell off the 5 cell (6.5v) battery pack (It's just a string of AA's), and re-solder the positive lead to the new 4 cell (5.2v) pack, and the regulated 5v output of the panel is now MUCH more suitable to charge it.

        Easy peasy, and works WORLDS better.

        The thing that shocked me, was how on EARTH they found AA sized cells that are only 400mAh, lol.
        I have a hard time finding AAA cells that bad.

    • MasterScythe on 11/10/2021 - 12:24

      They all (meaning; I've puilled apart dozens of random solar lights, and never seen one without) have basic charge controller chips; just a voltage cutoff. They're not charging all day, they're charging till full, then stopping.

      Though some DO take a safety precaution, and use a 6v battery pack, with a 5v regulator; so your batteries are never able to go above 33% charged, because the forward voltage isn't high enough. Thats what one of the bunnings brands did.
      I had to cut open the battery pack, and remove a cell, so that the rest of the pack could actually charge.

      • WatchNerd on 11/10/2021 - 12:53

        I never said they were charging all day, but if they were flat then I'm guessing it would take a while to fully charge.

          Sorry, I misunderstood, what did you mean by:

          It can't be good for the battery to be constantly charging while getting hammered by the sun all day.

          • WatchNerd on 11/10/2021 - 13:03

            @MasterScythe: I meant whenever it's charging it will be getting hammered by the sun. This can't be changed, hence it's constant.

            • MasterScythe on 11/10/2021 - 13:08

              @WatchNerd: OK, but what harm were you implying? The sun doesn't harm solar panels, and the odds of the device peaking over 50C is quite unlikely.
              A hot battery, within it's limits, is a low resistance battery, is a happy battery; I repeat, within its limits.
              On a 30C day, for the plastic to raise the temperature by 20C would be quite remarkable.

              If it got over, OK, it might lower the cycles from the usual 2000 to 1500 or 1000; that's still more than 3 years.

              Your wording made it sound like having a solar light in the sun all day was going to be noticably bad for the cells is all; and I feared others would have read it the same.

              • WatchNerd on 11/10/2021 - 13:57

                @MasterScythe: Charging causes the battery to heat up internally, plus the sun beating down on the plastic casing will also cause the batteries to heat up.
                This can't be good.

                  This can't be good.

                  I mean, sure… but it can absolutely be (and likely is) neutral.
                  Your wording makes it sound like you're implying it's going to be bad.

                  And even if it were, which is very unlikely, the chance an owner would notice is miniscule.
                  Most people aren't running their solar lights flat every day, so if it halved its capacity, most would never even know.
