Not completely sure. It feels like plastic but is very solid so not sure completely

I would say it is plastic... Not detecting an metal at all. The grip is so so.....I am having trouble with the battery connection often. You have to really tighten the connection with the hard to mover spin wheel and then eventually it loosen and you have to tighten again. I personally am using it more for the grip that I get with my nikon d7100 and the way the camera feels in my hand than for the back up battery. If one battery runs out or very low.. I just switch the battery locations since I don't trust the connection

It is a peice of plastic and it is used to lift the battery out of the battery compartment. You do not want to remove it.

It is plastic. It is an awesome boat just the same. Can really go! Word of advice: maybe purchase a 2nd battery.

ITs a sealed battery and should be ok on its side. But be careful and do not ground out on any metal.

It was a AA battery. I put it outside hooked up to my water barrel and it waters every day like clock work :-) a great product for something simple.

Mine is plastic. Way cheaper than the aluminum model, or it was when i bought it off Amazon.

I believe it is a sealed battery, because I bought two of them to use in a motorized wheelchair. In that use, access to the batteries is a pain, so once I installed them, I forgot about them. Hope this helps.

Looks like plastic to me. Some brass where the battery is. No mater what it's made of, it works great for looking at things like coins etc.

I don't remember. But, I have had the battery 2+ yrs and holds charge very well.

The battery just plugs in so it can be replaced. It is Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer. Google the part number online or check at a Batteries Plus store. The trick is getting the right size and it looks exactly like the ones that run my RC helicopter and plane.

The battery in these packs are sealed lead acid AGM (absorbed glass mat). I've replaced the battery in another unit and it wasn't that hard. If you have the pack that looks exactly like the one in the picture here, it's battery is 3.875W X 5.875L X 3.75 H and is rated as 18 amp-hour. With that info you can go to dealers like "Battery plus" or "batteryspec.com" and match up another. When I changed out the battery in another unit, I added some padding as was on the original which cushion the battery keeping it from rubbing on the housing as it's carried or rattling slightly. The battery alone should only cost ~1/2 the price of a whole new pack, so it will save you some (but cost you the time to do it).

Its a low voltage lithium-ion battery. I love flying this thing but can not find where to get parts, like spare battery.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

The entire outside of the unit including the lid is plastic. The inside of the popping chamber is aluminum.

It is aluminum, the bottom cover is white, though! It's such a nice laptop, more durable than Apple air and has more storage!
