rechargeable, I also bought a 2 pack with car charger as extra. It is very handy.

Rechargeable, yes. As conveniently at AA, definitely not. I regret buying this camera and for all the rave reviews about it I can't give mine away. This camera sucks battery life a Hoover vacuum cleaner.

Rechargeable lithium-ion. You can buy MaximalPower batteries on Amazon for about $7.00 (a fraction of the cost of Canon batteries) and they actually last longer than the originals.

Which maximal power battery do you buy? I don't see the cannon power shot sx 500 listed.

AA -- Original answer.Revised answer - I should have said two AA batteries. Sorry for the poorly worded answer. Since purchasing the camera, I have invested in a battery charger and a set of rechargeable AA's, which will pay for themselves over time. The charger also works with AAA's which I use in other applications.

Yes, they are AA like any other, Not rechargeable so you can use them in anything that takes a normal battery. They will just last a lot longer. Hope that helps.

I'm still on the original batteries. Used a fair amount. Don't think rechargeable are necessary

AA batteries are used. I keep the main unit plugged in via the power adapted that came with it, but if you're looking for portability of the base unit then use the AA batteries.

I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium and get very good battery life. More expensive, but more pictures. I use only cameras that use AAs, since AAs are available almost anywhere in the world, eliminating failures in 'charged battery management' that would leave me without an operable camera.

you can use any AA or AAA brand rechargeable batteries. I am using a Panasonic brand on this

Yes, there are rechargeable lithium ion batteries in AA size, but I'm not sure about AAA. If you want a rechargeable AA battery look for 14500 lithium-ion. Take note that these non-rechargeable lithium batteries are 1.5 volts, and rechargeable are 4.2 volts. They are not interchangeable in most devices.

If the flashlight calls for AAs, you should use AAs. The power of these batteries makes the flashlight unsafe and could result in serious injury.

What do you mean my "Regular AA batteries"?If your item takes rechargable AAs, these will work just fine.What does your manual say?

1.2v or 1.5v same AA battery... i was not impressed with this rechargeable battery, they don't fully recharge or last. i have thrown them all away. imo not worth the money.

You need a separate battery pack to use AA batteries. But, they only cost a few dollars. Good to have as they have about twice the power as the standard battery and it is nice to have a readily available backup if your batteries go dead.

The batteries that it comes with are LI rechaargables , I didn't read any documentation stating they could take AA batteries. The shape of the batteries is different than a AA.

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

I like the big 6v battery personally. They seem to last longer and are more convenient to carry than the D batteries. I haven't used a rechargeable but it is probably the best option. They also make a solar recharge unit that can be as well.
