How do I charge up a solar powered yard lantern?
I have a solar powered yard lantern.
#1. Do I need to take the light out of the bottom of the lantern and set it in the sun to charge it or can I just stick the whole lantern outside and let it charge?
#2. Do I need to have the switch turned to on or off? Or does it even matter?
Thanks
Just to clarify..do I need to turn it to on or off while charging it?
It is an "Eden's Garden" Solar Light. I don't know if it was cheap or not because it was a birthday gift 
It depends no the type and name brand! Most of them ask that you turn it off for the first day to leave it charge and the the next day turn it on and then it should work that night and keep working with out being touched for months. If you have cheap solar light then you more than likely will need to keep it in some place were it can get sun everyday, as most need direct or indirect sunlight to keep charged and working. They say you should replace the solar batteries once a year but most people don't do that! Good luck.
