I'm wondering if someone has experience with this. I've bought some solar-powered lights for a project. They seem to work okay for a while, but the lights don't last very long. Then I saw a post suggesting swapping out the batteries that usually ship with these things with batteries with a higher mAh rating. Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, that had never occurred to me, and sure enough, I found out that these lights had 600 mAh rechargeables in them, and when I put in my freshly charged 2400 mAh batteries, the lights were bright enough for an airstrip and they have lasted several nights indoors (I'm working the project indoors and I haven't set it up outside yet). Now, though, I'm wondering if 2400s are overkill. Will a single small solar cell recharge a 2400 battery with 8 to 10 hours of sunlight?
