Okay, so I've been using these Henreepow rechargeable batteries for my garden solar lights for about 3 months now, and here's the real tea ☕
First off - they WORK. Like actually work. My pathway lights that were basically decorative before are now glowing properly at night. The 600mAh capacity seems legit compared to my old batteries.
The packaging says they come pre-charged at 30%, which is true. Had to charge them fully before first use (duh). Pro tip: follow their suggestion to fully discharge before recharging - it really does help with battery life!
Now the not-so-great part... After about 2 months, I noticed two batteries in the pack aren't holding charge as well. But hey, 10 out of 12 still going strong isn't bad for the price?
Also PSA: These DON'T come with a charger (some reviews seemed confused about this). You'll need your own Ni-MH charger or rely on solar charging.
Final verdict? Solid budget option if you manage expectations. They won't last forever but at this price point, I'll probably repurchase when needed.
