The solar flashlight is unique in design in that it now features 2 battery compartments - one for both powering the flashlight and recharging NiMh or NiCd rechargeable batteries, and another for powering the flashlight with ordinary alkaline batteries or rechargeables.

The charging compartment is connected to the solar panel, so that during daylight hours, the panel will charge the batteries. Just keep it in a location that is exposed to daylight. A full charge will provide over 4.5 hours of flashlight use.

When using both compartments, the flashlight will draw power from both sets of batteries, thus extending the flashlight run-time.

Made from durable plastic with a waterproof seal that enables it to float. Perfect for anyone who can't afford to worry about dead batteries. Also works with standard AA batteries and comes with a handy bike attachment.

A NOTE ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES...

This product will charge both NiMh and NiCd rechargeable batteries. NiMh batteries are charged at a higher current than NiCd batteries, so at the charging current of this product, they will take a little longer to fully charge than they would in a dedicated NiMh charger.

Modern Outpost recommends the use of NiMh batteries with solar products whenever possible due to the cyclical nature of solar charging, and the lack of a "memory effect" with this type of battery which is often the reason for the early failure of NiCd batteries to hold a charge.
