Is this item rechargeable? I do not find it stated on the battery except to advise not to charge in a sealed container. Assuming that means I can use it in a solar fence and remove it if it needs a longer recharge in the winter.

I used mine in an emergency light that is plugged in - and keeps the battery charged. so I would assume it is rechargeable.

It can be recharged as long as the solar unit can put out 5Amp hours of charge, if not it will take a long time. At 5Ah it will take 11 hours from a completely discharged battery

Right. This one isn't rechargeable, it needs to stay plugged in. They do have other models that are rechargeable, I believe. They are usually a bit more expensive. But keep in mind that those batteries will slowly die over time.

To tell the truth, I have used both rechargeable and regular name brand batteries. We've got cold weather here for at least half the year, and the rechargeables didn't last as long. We use it on our outside porch. I bring it in when it's going to be cold, and that saves either kind of battery. I love this product!

Yes it is rechargeable. I have had my for almost a year. I put mine in a dry bag and run a fish finder off of the batter on my kayak. I also bought the battery tender 021-0123 junior battery charger. I have only had to charge the battery once in the year I have had it. My trips are somewhere between 6-8 hours long two to there time a month in warm months.

I think the instruction said something about how the solar charger will not charge the battery, just allow you to use it while it was shining. You might check online for the instruction Manual.

No, you can get a rechargeable battery and Moultrie has a solar charger for it. I bought my first one with it and it lasted about 2 years. I recommend just a regular battery.

Yes this battery is rechargeable. I have recharged my 2 batteries many times. Works well for the price. RPS

The battery is rechargeable, but not replaceable. If it fails, you'll need a new collar. I installed the fence this past summer. It's on all day, and I believe it's only needed to be recharged 2 times.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

No, it will stay charged for a for a good 6 weeks without being used in moderate weather. For the first 2 years I owned mine, I left it outside in the cab of the truck during the winter (which I think I should not have done) now this third winter I find it not hold a charge very well left outside during the winter months. It has a charger for the vehicle but that charger will not automatically cut off when fully charged which could overcharge the booster pack -- may hurt the rechargeable batteries; the AC wall charger will automatically cut off when the booster pack fully charged. Now last summer I was able to do 2-3 vehicles before having to recharge the booster pack. I hope I have answered your questions

it doesn't matter; just leave it in the sun to charge it! IF your unit won't charge from the sun, then there are 2 possibilities:1. your circuit board is faulty and you need to replace the whole unit.2. you live in a place with latitude above 41 degrees or so, so solar power DOES NOT WORK in the winter because the sun is too weak.Seriously though, it uses a pair of AA Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries but THE UNIT IS SEALED so you can't really get to them.

Hello John,Yes, this is a sealed, rechargeable battery. It arrives with the factory charge which is usually around 95% of capacity. It can be used right away to start the machine. However, if you have the time available, we recommend a top charge with a quality charger for 4-6 hours. Best Regards, Battery Supersite

It's not rechargeable! It requires 2 AAA batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries, though.
