Sun Seekers: The New VARTA Consumer Solar RechargeableBattery Stores Renewable Energy for out in the Garden

Spring is coming, and the gardening season is on its way. When the sun starts to set and twilight approaches, white and colorful garden lights create a memorable atmosphere.

To make sure these wonderful moments last, VARTA has launched a new rechargeable battery developed especially for solar-powered garden lights: the AAA Solar Rechargeable battery with a capacity of 550 mAh – the “little brother” to the VARTA AA Solar Rechargeable battery featuring 800 mAh.

Solar lights are usually working with a low current, meaning they need low capacity rechargeable batteries. With the trend today moving toward increasingly energy-efficient LED solar lights, the VARTA Solar Rechargeable battery with 550 mAh is a perfect match. Because solar lights are recharged every day, the batteries were designed with a low capacity in mind. It’s no problem for the Solar Rechargeable with 550 mAh, which can be recharged with new energy again and again and again. The VARTA Solar Rechargeable batteries keep working, even after many charging cycles, and can be used under normal conditions for many years. So let the garden season begin!

The new VARTA AAA Solar Rechargeable batteries with 550 mAh cost €3.49 and available in stores since March. The VARTA AA Solar Rechargeable batteries with 800 mAh are already available for €2.99.
