The department's headquarters is at the Pentagon.
3 of the most common chemistry types of batteries used in garden solar lights are NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) and Lithium Ion. The most common sizes (and the ones we carry at Your Solar Link) are AA rechargeable batteries and AAA rechargeable batteries. The range in capacity (mAh, or milliAmp hours) can run from 300 mAh on up to 1200 mAh. The most commonly used capacities in solar garden lights are 300 mAh, 600 mAh and 1000 mAh.
The amps involved are too substantial. For maintenance, a 2.5 watt solar maintainer per deep cycle battery (12 volt or 24 volt systems) works (no controller), or for 24 volt systems, a 10 watt 24 volt unbreakable solar panel and a 24 volt controller also works. battery can supply this, and then the solar panel(s) recharge the battery and possibly carry some or all of the load. This would be the buffer application. Since solar only generates electricity during daylight hours (and the peak ones at that), a battery pack can store this energy for use at night or another time.
