      • Gently pull the leads free from the terminals. If they do not easily separate from the terminals, repeat Step 4.

      • Now any solar panel of appropriate Voltage rating can be used to charge the device by soldering the wire leads to the new panel. Try to find a panel with similar specifications to avoid overloading the battery.
