I've changed batteries in all types of solar lights, but that doesn't always fix the problem of not lighting. Even letting it charge over night doesn't always work. Any other ideas besides batteries.

I have solar lights and read your online post. I have the kind that take a 1/2 AAA size battery. You can't just go out and buy these at the store. They don't exist anywhere but maybe one place (Batteries + Bulbs), and they don't carry a very big supply. Some solar lights also have a battery that is bigger than a AA but have not tried to find where to get those. I did know however that the batteries can be replaced with rechargeable or whatever type that the lights had originally been used. Thanks

  Just purchased rechargeable batteries Ni-Cd on line- 20 AA for $14.99 and 20 AAA for $13.99. That's the only way they are not so expensive. Most places like Walmart or True Value stores charge $9.99 for a 4 pack.
