Solar garden lights add atmosphere to your garden, back yard and outdoor spaces like pathways, patios, and terraces. Once the sun starts to set you can transform an area with carefully positioned lighting. There are many styles of outdoor lighting on the market, each with their own level of luminosity. Some are meant to be attached to buildings or fixtures like sheds and garages for security and visibility, other types of lights are purely decorative to enhance the mood of a space.

The nights are drawing in as we journey into Autumn and Winter. Shorter days are when solar garden lights get most use. The most common type of solar light for the garden is an independent lighting unit which uses rechargeable solar light batteries. Often positioned into the ground sitting on top of a tapered tube, they cast a soft glow to illuminate the edges of borders, paths, and steps.

Lipo batteries have been a revolution in power cell technology over the past ten years. The benefits to radio control model fans and Airsoft enthusiasts is a lightweight battery which provides excellent output and performance. When compared to Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries, the Lithium Polymer (ion) batteries (Lipo) can be formed into almost any shape and dimension. Being lightweight makes them ideal for flying model planes and helicopters. By offering higher capacities they store more power. Being more powerful, they have a higher discharge, leading to a more responsive experience whether you are driving a radio control buggy or pulling the trigger on an Airsoft electric gun.

However, all is not plain sailing with these batteries, due to their higher discharge they generally have a shorter usage time. More critically, they contain a delicate chemistry. They can be easily damaged if they are not stored, used, or charged correctly. Failure to
