Best technology for use in Solar lights

The old rechargeable battery cells to power solar lights used Nicad (nickel cadmium) which had certain advantages but one major disadvantage. The biggest problem is "memory effect" this is where the Nicad cell remembers the last point of charge. Subsequent charges will only charge up the memory/stored location. Bad news for solar application which by their nature cannot guarantee 12 hours of sunlight.

The solar light is best fitted with a Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) cell and charger to work effectively within its application.
Solar lights work best by constant recharging on and off, no problem with Ni-MH technology.
