A cr123 3volt battery. They can be pricey if purchased one at a time but reasonable if purchased in bulk.

Any battery with an xlr connector should work to power the light, you just need to make sure the battery is big enough. Here is an example of one, but tons of companies make them http://www.amazon.com/Lobster-Sports-External-Battery-Pack/dp/B006BMOEGW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1411742614&sr=8-5&keywords=battery+pack+with+xlr+connector You can go to www.bhphoto.com to see a bigger selection of options. Or visit any professional camera/video store.

This light should take a AA battery. Make sure you put it in correctly and there is contact front and rear. Yep possible you did get a defect also.

Battery is self contained in the light, but we've had ours 2 years and no issues. So we ordered another one for our dairybarn. It says 12 volt on the side of the light.

Would suggest one go to the Streamlight Web Site, do a search for the model light you have and see what Streamlight suggest for a battery. This would also allow you to check the prices of the required battery between Streamlight and Amazon.

You have to buy the battery separately..... http://www.amazon.com/Dewalt-Dcb120-12v-Battery-Pack/dp/B00A9XF7WO/ref=pd_sim_hi_3. I had a couple of the 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Dewalt tools already so I used the same battery from those tools when I needed the light. It works great and puts out some nice light.... Battery lasts a pretty long time.

As it is a solar powered light I believe I would opt for a battery version. Light has to hit the charge area for it to work.

It uses 3 dinky coin (LR41) batteries. Since it's an LED light, the batteries are lasting longer than I had expected: 60 hours and going strong!

The battery for the Streamlight Vantage is a Lithium CR123A and can be purchased at most battery shops. I've had my light for over a year and haven't had to replace the battery yet and yes I use it regularly.
