is it harmful to use regular alkaline batteries in my solar lights?
My solar light batteries wore out and I replaced them with regular alkaline batteries and the lights are "lit" at night. Is it okay or should I get solar batteries?
Alkalines are generally not rechargable, so after a few nights, they will be dead. Shortly thereafter, they may leak.
The best thing to get is batteries specifically designed for your solar lights. Before, this meant NiCd batteries designed to withstand high temperature. Newer solar lights may have a charging circuit that can handle NiMH. But if you see a NiCd battery in there now, that's a clue that the charger is just a simple trickle charger, and will not charge NiMH well.
