There must be a few variations of these things running around. Mine did NOT come in the "as seen on TV" package like shown in the ad. Mine came in a set of six in plain brown cheap cardboard. They are that very thin flexible plastic. It's weird, there are 2 battery compartments on the bottom and both have the little tabs you push to open to put in a AA battery. HOWEVER, only one of the two compartments on the ones we bought have a battery, and there are no contacts in the other compartment. So you could put another battery in it, but only for storage, not to power the light. You would NOT put in regular batteries anyway, as the charger would cause them to explode or melt chemicals in your yard. The rechargeable batteries that came with mine seem to work great. The lights last for at least 5 hours. I'm not up later than that, so I can't tell you exactly when they go out, but rechargeable AA batteries aren't expensive, and what do you want for a $5 light? LOL
I live in Florida, so we have lots of nice sunshine. I installed the lights at 9am, and I removed the protective coating from the solar panel. So they had time to charge all day. I know that might seem like a no-brainer, but just in case someone was wondering, you're supposed to remove it. A good first charge is highly recommended by me. I graduated from electronics school in the Army, so I know that the first charge is important. This could account for some of the other posts I'm reading by people who have had a bad experience.
One thing I'd also like to suggest is that you get a little piece of spongy or thick double-sided tape to install them. They will bend the inside of your gutter lip when you install them if you screw the locking clamp screw too tight. The tape will help make the hold without bending the gutter. Not that it would interfere with the operation of your gutter, just some advice.
There is also a set screw hole in the part that sticks down where the light comes from. I'm assuming you could add a globe or something else to this, but I haven't found any. I wouldn't recommend anything heavy and they look good without a globe, so no big deal.
