Solar lights……have problems with batteries. New ones, yet don’t charge…Instructions on batteries states charging by solar or charger OK…When I bought four last yr w/batteries and installed, I let Sun charge…Never any problem since… These seem not to keep charge after I put in units. With new solar batteries (same type) you’d think either way of charging would’nt be a problem… Complexed…Any ideas ???

Try making sure the “liner” underneath the cap isn’t interfering with
battery contacts.
