Hello. Yes, I bought a rechargeable 2400mA NI-MH battery. (Original 600mA in this solar lamp). I think 2400mA is overkill as I dought that the solar charge current is so high. Also here in Sweden we have our cold seasons, and by that Litium battery is no good.

A bit different than mine solar flame but i changed battery today too in mine, idk if it was needed, but it works about 2 years ( i will test battery in MH-C9000 and check) so i thought it will be good because i repaired also a switch - light was dimmer. Mine was completely glued after i unscrewed top cover, so little harder, but glue was melting very fast at not very high temperature.

Wicked Wanda Hello. I believe that original is 600 mA. I did use a 2400 mA battery as replacement. Which is overkill. Just find a cheap one that has 600 mA or above. Be sure not to use Litium batteries as (if I am correct) dont like cold temperatures.

David, that sounds very short. I assure you that we have way less sun in Sweden, but mine lights way after midnight if it was a sunny day. Maybe you have more led:s in yours, like 96? I ordered with 96 but I received with 33 led in each torch.

@@swedemake5571 Faff means fiddly, a bit of a hassle. Rechargeable lithium batteries do seem to invariably wear out / hold less charge over time. My point was, why couldn't they have made it so you just clip the battery into place rather than having to solder it. Hopefully I won't need to anyway. The lights look great, especially the bigger version with 96 LEDs

@@swedemake5571 Hi, I've ordered both types these week. Although the smaller ones (33 led are fine) the bigger (96 Led version) certainly give off a better glow effect, brighter, a better glow colour (more orange like a flame). The lamp fitting is also larger than the cheaper ones. Have 4 of both and have ordered 2 more packs of the bigger 96 LED version to place round the garden as Amazon UK have them on offer this week (at just over half price). The bigger ones (96 led) come in packs of 2, the cheaper smaller version comes in packs of 4 so you know which ones to buy. amzn.to/3kxq7PJ

The most critical facts were either overlooked or barely demonstrated or not addressed at all. The original battery was a 600 mah nickel metal hydride... I think. He doesn't address the replacement except to say that it has a 2300 mah capacity. That seems awful high for a single AA NiMh battery. What TYPE did you use? If you opted for a lithium ion battery your solar panel/charger probably doesn't deliver the voltage or the amperage needed to charge it to full capacity. What type of solder did you use and did you use any type of flux. My experience with soldering on batteries is there are some common solders that just do NOT stick to these battery electrodes. The demo is more or less useless except to show how to dismantle the housing. You said you wanted to see how much longer this battery powers the light but you never tell us... duh. If the solar panel will not fully charge the battery, this is a pretty important piece of information. Think this whole thing over and try again...
