Greetings everyone:
I have the following solar led flood light that seems to have stopped charging as I probably left it in the on position for months before putting it on the off position to charge instead of charging as soon as there is no energy left.

When I opened it up, it is basically a battery pack that is labeled "GREAT POWER ICR18650 3600mAh 3.7V 13.32Wh", when I took off the wrapper, it is basically two 18650 batteries that has no writing on it that seems to be connected (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) between both batteries and then the (-) and (+) side goes to a circuit board that connects back to the mainboard and then the solar panel also connects to the mainboard. I have a BCT-3100 v2.2 charger. It appears the batteries are basically connected in parallel so they are really 2 x 18650 1800mAh batteries. In any case, it seems like the batteries are welded together so how does one separate it and can one just solder the tab back to the battery after recharging or is there another way to do it? As the solar panel just connects to a barrel connector so it seems I can use a DC Adapter to charge the batteries. Thanks!
