Can you use rechargeables with this lamp?

I too use Tenergy Low Self Discharge Ni-MH D cell batteries in mine. They are expensive but work great. Eneloop AA batteries work with adapters, but they don't last very long.

You may want to ask streamlight i really don't know the ins and outs of that i'm not a fan of rechargeables so i never looked into it.

Yes you can. I am using Eneloop (low self-discharge) AA batteries inside size D plastic adapters (two AA batteries per one D adapter) and it works fine. The only inconvenience is that to charge the batteries I have to remove them out of the adapters. There do exist size D rechargeable batteries as well but I need batteries that can hold their charge even when they are not being used.

Although I have not tried rechargeable Ni-MH cells in this light, they should work just fine, albeit with a slightly reduced output as compared with fresh D cells. However rechargeable D-Cells are relatively expensive compared with a primary D-Cell. I normally operate my Streamlight Siege on medium, not high, to obtain the long runtime.

Tenergy Low Self Discharge rechargeable work great for me. You can shelf them for a year and they only lose something like 20% of the charge.

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 .

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!!!!!

No you don't need rechargeable batteries. There is a built in battery inside that is rechargeable by solar. Great light tho.

Yes, you can connect lamp and any USB charger to a piece that plugs into wall.

I use rechargable batteries in mine. But if you leave the lantern on the shelf for a long time without using it, you may find that the batteries have lost their charge when you go to use the lantern in an emergency.

I actually didn't use rechargable. I used regular AA and it worked perfectly for me!

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

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 way I could use an adjustable volt, 1.5v to 12v, DC wall power supply. I hope this helps. Have fun with it. RobS...

I don't believe so. The rechargeable battery is in a separate compartment and that one gets charged using the solar panel. The D-cell batteries just power the lantern and are not hooked to the solar circuit.

No. It assumes you will use the lithium 123 batteries that many other lights use. These are non rechargeable batteries.

Yes. The lamp can be operated with batteries or with the AC cord. The lamp works best, i.e., more light, with the power cord than with the batteries, however.

You can use rechargeable AA batteries, but it does not come with them, just regular ones. And the voltage is 120v standard US outlet.

I believe just uses the regular batteries or perhaps could use rechargeable batteries but does not charge the batteries, nor a usb. a simple lamp that works for our purposes very well. great for camping too.

Yes. I always use it with rechargeable batteries. It doesn't last for 18 months though.

To be honest I don't understand your question. Yes you can use a rechargeable battery

I don't see why not, but the light lets you know when it needs to be recharged. so maybe sometimes. don't know if that helps.

Yes! The 8 D-cells in the lantern keep the rechargeable batteries in the four individual light panels charged. There is no external power source connection to the lantern.
