can you use rechargeable batt.

Larry P. I've been using rechargeable batteries in this light ever since I've had it. No bad results so far-- Regards,Bill H.

Yes. I currently have mine populated with 8 of the new type Low Self Discharge (LSD) NiMh rechargeable AA batteries, as this light's primary function is for power outages, so the LSD cells prevent the loss of charge over a period of time. Works just fine with these.

It has a standard battery compartment for up to 8 AA batteries, so you could easily put in AA-sized rechargeables. It will run with either 4 or 8 batteries installed, so I presume it can handle the voltage difference between normal alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries. HOWEVER: I do NOT recommend this light; mine started to fail within a few uses, turning off after five minutes or so (fresh batteries did not help) before failing completely after a few more attempted uses.

I see no reason why you could not use rechargeable batteries in this lantern; however, I do not find a way to recharge those batteries while they are in the lantern. You'll have to remove them to recharge.

I really do not know. This was a gift for my son. He loves it and he is an avid outdoors-man.

Yes they work well for me and they do not get too warm when the light is set on High, heat shortens the life of rechargeables. Rechargeables are also less likey to cause corrosion than alkalines when they are drained.

Yes, particularly low self-discharge AA's like Sanyo Eneloops. For a compact emergency multi-day outage situation, consider adding a Powerfilm AA (4 AA version) folding solar panel to charge those batteries.

Not unless the device is made to use and recharge rechargeable batteries, so the answer would be no unless it was made to use rechargeable batteries to begin with.

Yes, you can recharge this battery, I have done it many times, you just need the charger that plugs into the outlet.

No , but I would recommend it , as it will drain the batt if you use it to long , as that has happen to me ,

No. You can plug into a wall usb or othe panels as long as it has appropriate connectors and you can also use other brands of rechargeable batteries.

Good question. I would suppose you can, as long as the rechargeable battery mets the voltage/current specifications for the light. If you aren't sure, I'd recommend against making the change.

You can use rechargeable batteries, BUT ONLY if they are ALKALINE Batteries. This is what I was told, so best to do what they say. Good Luck!!!!!

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.

Yes , I am certain you can use rechargeable batteries in this lamp ; however in my experience rechargeable batteries are not very long lasting and will eventually not accept a charge . I stick to fresh regular D batteries and they work just fine .

No. because out takes AA batteries, your only option is to purchase rechargeable batteries. That's what I did.

You can use rechargeable batteries, but there is no built-in rechargeable battery.

NO. Only use AA batteries. Do not use rechargeable because they do not hold on the right charge for long. I did install a female power jack. This wayI could use an adjustable volt, 1.5v to 12v, DC wall power supply. I hope this helps. Have fun with it. RobS...

You can use regular or rechargeable. However, I complained months ago when I bought the head phone ( 2 0f them ) that I could not get these to work properly. Never received a response to my complaint or better directions for trouble shooting.

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.

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

I think you can ive only used the orginal battries that came with mine but yes you can

Yes. The batteries that were supplied with my unit were cheopos I have seen at frys. You can probably use regular batteries or get a good set of rechargables.
