Can I replace the rechargeable battery?

Troubleshooting
Lights do not turn on at night.
Ensure the solar panel is positioned in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Check that the area around the solar panel is clean and free of debris. Verify that the switch (if applicable) is in the 'ON' position. The included battery may need replacement if it is old or has degraded.
Lights are dim or do not stay on for long.
This usually indicates insufficient charging. Relocate the solar panel to a sunnier spot. Clean the solar panel surface. The rechargeable battery may be losing its capacity and might need to be replaced.
Copper wire is tangled or damaged.
Gently try to untangle the wire, being patient. If the wire is significantly damaged or wires are broken, the affected section may not light up. Handle the wire with care to prevent future damage.
Solar panel is dirty.
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the surface of the solar panel. Ensure it is completely dry before expecting optimal performance.
