Solar lights can be left outside year round, even in cold weather. However, if you
wish to store your light indoors for more than two or three days, follow these steps
to prevent damage to rechargeable batteries:
• Store at room temperature in a dry location.
• Store solar light where it can receive some sunlight or room light each day.
The batteries need light to maintain a charge during storage.
• During prolonged storage, units must be fully discharged and charged once
every month or remove batteries and replace with new Ni-Cd rechargeable
batteries when ready for use. Check and replace batteries periodically
throughout the year.
• Do not store solar lights in a box, or a dark room without a source of light on
the solar panel. This will damage the batteries and prevent their ability to hold
a charge.
• For best performance, do not store for prolonged periods.
Storage Tips
If your solar light does not turn on at night, it may be caused by one the
following conditions:
• Batteries are not fully charged or need replacement:
a. Make sure your light is located in an area where the solar panel gets the
maximum amount of FULL, DIRECT SUNLIGHT every day.
b. If the weather has been cloudy or overcast during the day, the batteries
will not be recharged for operation at night. The solar light must have
direct sunlight every day to fully charge the batteries. If the solar light does
not receive enough sunlight one day, it will recharge the next sunny day
and resume normal operation.
c. Check and replace the batteries periodically throughout the year, especially
after winter months. Replacement batteries may be purchased from The
Brinkmann Corporation Customer Service Department by calling
1-800-468-5252.
