I have no idea .. so far the little Simon has supplied lot of hours of play for grandson. Haven't yet needed to open to replace. Assume it's a disk-style battery I can get at Radio Shack when necessary rather than a double-A or a triple-A. Time will tell.

Battery can't be replaced once game is done. Battery hasn't needed to be replaced yet & I've had it for a couple years.

Usually like a watch it lithium battery not an alkaline such as a AA. They are much more expensive than standard batteries

They are not a normal size battery. They are all over larger than AA, more like a longer slimmer C battery. They are very specialized for specific items. All the information provided on the battery is in the name: BRC 18650 3000 mAh 3.7V li-ion made by UltraFire.

Special kind of battery. Battery is not a problem. The light is. It will not last. Don't buy it.

They've changed their product. I just received mine (AUG15) and there is no provision for regular batteries, not even a holder or mention of such in the description here online or in the owner's manual. They do include a second proprietary battery (which looks sort of like a beefy AA).

I have no idea and amazon says you are not supposed to change the battery anyway.

Non-standard means the battery is brand specific. In other words if it is for a Sony device it will say Sony on battery, if for Nikon device it will say Nikon on battery. Just a way of referring you back to org. manufacturer for replacement of battery.

i have no idea if they are standard or not but they sure are stronger than the battery i received with the phone, much stronger.

I am not sure if there is a standard between manufacturers. Every manufacturer usually have batteries with contacts that are different or in different spots. Now if it is the same manufacturer, the batteries are interchangable between products. Sometimes, they have different size batteries that do the same.

From my experience, this battery is not common. Therefore, you should follow the best part of the battery specification and that is, battery voltage, its amp/hour rating and terminal type/spacing location and battery dimensions. Also note that doesn't seem to be an equlivancy chart for batteries. Hope this helps.

What they mean by "Nonstandard" is that you probably can't replace the battery. It's a lithium battery that is built in, so you can't simply go to the store and replace it.The battery is rated for 10 hours by Asus. That would probably translate to something like 8 hours for typical use. Results will vary depending how you are using it, brightness, wifi, GPS, etc....Also the optional keyboard dock has a battery in it that will add another 5 hours of use to it. Probably more like 4 in real world use though. So there could be potentially be a total of 12 hours or so if you get the keyboard dock too.

I don't know what you mean by non detectable. However I ordered a battery for my Toshiba computer also and the battery that came did not match the picture also. If you got the same one as me the battery that arrived was minus the extension. The extension keeps the laptop from tipping to that corner. Since the battery connections matched and it worked (also I needed a battery bad) I kept it and am still using it. It charges fine. But that was my only gripe, that what the company showed and described was not what you received.

No.. it's a non standard battery. See the answers under the replacement battery unit for clarification. http://www.amazon.com/this-battery-pack-made-batteries/forum/Fx1CB79G4V5RIC2/Tx1II6REXTAH6PK/1/ref=cm_cd_naredir?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00002N9ES&cdItems;=25&store;=generic

It's about a fourth that size and it is NOT a GC battery. It is a lead base battery.

This is a high capacity battery that will be larger than the standard 6 cell battery. Please contact us directly at quintichelp@gmail.com for further assistance.

It is some kind of coin cell type battery. It is not meant to be replaced by the user. The lantern failed miserably after a few months of use. The plastic gears broke inside. I would not buy this again and I would recommend you avoid it.

Return this before you even unpackaged it. To respond, no, it is a standard aaa battery.
