How can I tell if my solar light is working? If I put a %26#039;charged%26#039; battery in it, it will light-up after dark. But, I don%26#039;t think the %26#039;solar panel%26#039; is charging the battery! Is there a way I can check it, without getting too complicated?

Well in the daylight put them out by the sun so they can charge natural by the sun%26#039;s light energy and when the sun is gone put them in the ground and they will light up.

get a multimeter. should be around 10 bucks. Radio shack or ACE hardware. You can use it for many other things too. Battery testing, continuity of wires, ( do they work)

put it out in the sun and if it turns on its working if not it nots working
