Is there a difference in the batteries that say Pile rechargeable and those that do not?

As long as the word rechargeable follows the word Pile the Batteries are Rechargeable. In France and in Canada they play with the word Pile. Some times it infers more than one Battery, but If the word rechargeable doesn't follow Pile it infers classic Batteries. Or not rechargeable. I hope this helps.

Yes, they are different rechargeable batteries. Look online for BRC 18650 3.7V Li-ion. You will need 2 for the flashlight plus two or more for spares.

The one I have uses the 123 batteries. They do make rechargeable ones but you will have to remove the battery to recharge them.

We did not try rechargeable...but the batteries only run the LED light, for using the microscope at night or in dim settings, so I don't see why rechargeable wouldn't work. Though rechargeable batteries' top power levels are never quite as high as non-rechargeable, I don't think you'd see any difference in light levels, since LEDs take so little power to run. Any difference the lower power levels made would likely be in how long between battery changes, instead.

Another reason not to use rechargeables is that they can drain while idle more quickly than alkaline batteries. I wouldn't use them if you will be gone more than a couple of days.

You can use any brand of rechargeable batteries, otherwise if you use it much you will be wasting a lot of money on throw away batteries.

They're not Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are rechargeable "Li-ion" batteries. Big difference between Lithium and Li-ion.

I do not use rechargeable batteries, I use the regular alkaline type and get my 4-6 hours that I need out of them each time. I replace the batteries on the next gig in order to assure no surprises midway.

Batteries last quite a while actually. I never used rechargeables but you probably could. Great machine. always dig the nickels!!! I found gold rings that way!!!

They use both. Rechargeable and non-rechargeable. I order my batteries from Surefire.

No they are not rechargeable. However, it takes standard AA batteries that can be substituted with rechargeable AA batteries.

Batteries that are rechargeable should have that on their label. Hope this helps.

I'm using energizer rechargeable batteries that I got at my local walmart. I'm not sure if the batteries your inquiring about are the same but I hope this helps :)

I assume "regular" batteries refers to 1.5v alkaline batteries. Using a battery tester and a high-end volt meter I've concluded that each recharge results in a bit less energy than was true of the original "new" charge. How long a battery "lasts" depends on what you are using it for and how much the appliance you are powering is used. Assuming the same appliance/use, you will need to recharge sooner each time. This is also true of 1.2v rechargable batteries (Ni-Cad and NiMH), but their chemistry allows for recharges closer to the previous one and many, many more recharge cycles. I figure 4 alkaline recharges is about all I trust. After that the chance of equipment-damaging leakage is greater and a recharge may get you 50% or less than the original 1.5v capacity. NiCad and NiMH rechargable batteries can go hundreds of recharge cycles.

We use rechargeable AAA batteries with no problems. Makes sense to us because regular batteries won't last very long and will be expensive for you. We've had our set for almost a year and "knock on wood" they work just fine with the rechargeables.

I would say no, rechargeable batteries are slightly less voltage. I t would check but not as accurately.

Yes, the only difference is that the power comes with rechargeable batteries.
