What battery does this light use? I would not want to add yet another wierd battery type to my accumulation.

Guarddog TR 18650 2800mAh 3.7volt. Rechargeble and comes with the light. Good luck

Hi Gerald, The Guard Dog 290 uses a TR 18650 2800mAh 3.7V. It is one that has to be removed from the flashlight and placed in a cradle charger. This size battery is necessary because of the intensity of the light. It has been very useful for me as a 3rd shift security guard

There is no battery. The unit is designed for inline 12 volt current. There is no need to take it apart. There is a positive and negative lead wires protruding from the back. There are also two mounting screws that you screw in then attach the light by turning it on the screws.

The battery is an 18650. They are like giant AA batteries. You can usually pick up a couple of them and a charger for about $10 online. Initially it may seem like a lot but since they are rechargeable they will pay for themselves. The reason they use these batteries is because they are rated for 3.7 volts (instead of your typical 1.5volts). This means the led can put out more light!!

I agree with Ken's answer. It's really just a specially sized battery. The battery housing unit isn't all that attractive (and mine was installed in the garage to link to the location of the outside box) but I can't see why having this battery would present any more concerns than having a battery-powered lantern or large flashlight in the bedroom, which is a fairly common emergency supply for people to keep nearby.

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!

That's funny, I didn't notice that when I ordered mine. Must just be a typo. The one they sent me is a headlight and has a battery-pack that plugs into the cord. Pretty decent light, but you have to make sure to unplug it from the battery when you're not using it or it will drain the battery very quickly.

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.

12v battery. you know like the one in your car or RV. It's hard wired to the two wires coming out the back of the light it's self. and than you turn it off and on with the black rocker switch on the front side of the light unit.

The light uses AA Ni-Cad batteries that come with it. I recall 3 batteries. I originally charged mine before putting the light up and so far it is working well. Mine has been in use since December and I live on the Oregon Coast so we don't get sunshine every day.

The round v3 lithium battery is included in the light. Make sure to take the battery out to remove the plastic piece between the battery and prongs for use. I'm not exactly sure how long the battery will last though. Maybe someone who's had the light for a little longer could answer. :-)

The light uses two CR2032. You can get 20 here for $8.50Sony 3V Lithium CR2032 Batteries (4 Blisters of 5), 20 Cells

I just got them and have not looked at the type of battery it uses, what I can tell you is that they are not very bright, maybe in case of a blackout they might be useful but otherwise they don't light very much.

Mine came with an Alkaline 23 Amp 12 Volt battery. They are available at most big box stores or local hardware and drug stores. Good luck and enjoy the lights.

Good light but battery is very bad... it is very bright when it works. . I would not buy again due to the type of battery it uses

I use generic, dollar store batteries. With one AA battery, stays really bright for about 40-50 minutes. After that, the light grows dimmer over the next hour of use. I haven't had any problems with this flashlight.

The lights take a special rechargable battery that I have never seen before. It is a 18650 that is a little larger than a AA, and does not require a holder. Kind of a pain, but certainly worth it. Good luck!!
