I have a bunch of cheap ebay solar LED lights with li-ion 18650 batteries.
If I replaced the 3.7v li-ion batteries with 3.2v LiFePO4 18650 batteries, would it work just the same? Would the solar panels and circuitry that are designed to charge 3.7v batteries overcharge the 3.2v li-ion batteries? Will the lights be the same brightness with the .5v lower voltage?
Also the li-ion batteries are 2000mah, the LiFePO4 batteries are 1500mah. I think that means the solar lights won't stay lit as long of time through the night?
I know you guys are in to higher tech stuff than what I'm asking, but I'll appreciate any time you give in commenting.
Thanks
Dave
