Probably need a larger wattage panel and a new battery. Not sure what size or type of battery youre using or if any parasitic loads have been removed before recharging

My lights stopped working also after approx. 2 months we checked the battery in the solar and it was dead. We wired ours to the electric socket rather than putting them in the garbage!

By no means am I an expert at batteries or electrical, but I went to a local battery store and spent $30 for a 5ah battery. I has been several months since installing it and no problems.

We didnt it wasnt neccessary, but i also knew that it was only my battery that was bad. You can use the old power supply cord if you didnt have problems with it like a short in the wire or something, otherwise replace it too.

My girlfriends did the same thing, and what I did was drain the battery down using the led light. Once it was almost dead I charged it for 2 days, and now it seems to be working fine.

Doito, went dead, no LED light indicates to me that your batter is nolonger connected, Check to make sure it has not disconnected, make sure it's not bad. Even new batteries are bad out of the box. I experienced this first hand as an electronics tech

the battery went to 50% or less and didn't hold the power it had nearly as long as it should have

After purchasing two sets I made sure all pucks were in working order and put them in trunk of two separate vehicles. After five months of never using them I went to use one set and found out the batteries were dead. I took the other set out and the batteries were dead in that set as well. After reading reviews here and on other sites it appears this is a known issue and I will be contacting Wagan. In an emergency situation I do not have time to unscrew the back, pry open the waterproof seal and install new batteries.

I believe the load is too high. There's not a lot of amp/hours in the battery, and I think it's designed for loads in the mAh range at low resistance. You need a battery capable of supplying about 6 amps (70 watts at 12 volts is 5.8 amps) continuously for the period you need (and probably a way to recharge it to avoid continuous replacement).

Mine was new and on the first day, and in the first week, that battery got uncomfortably hot. The web is replete with references to it but Toshiba Tech Support engineer feigned ignorance about. Sad since it hardly has enough power to make it the bathroom and back.

Mine worked for a week and stopped working...not a happy camper(Make sure your battery is in the right direction, it should spark by pressing button w/o being connected)
