It has one rechargeable battery in the camera and I bought this product to have 2 rechargeable batteries and they work great:Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Panasonic DMW-BCK7, NCA-YN101G, DE-A91, DE-A92 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2, DMC-FH4, DMC-FH5, DMC-FH6, DMC-FH7, DMC-FH8, DMC-FH25, DMC-FH27, DMC-FP5, DMC-FP7, DMC-FS16, DMC-FS18, DMC-FS22, DMC-FS28, DMC-FS35, DMC-FS37, DMC-FS40, DMC-FS45, DMC-FT20, DMC-FT25, DMC-FX77, DMC-FX78, DMC-FX80, DMC-FX90, DMC-S1, DMC-S2, DMC-S3, DMC-S5, DMC-SZ1, DMC-SZ5, DMC-SZ7, DMC-TS20, DMC-TS25

Yes, the battery is rechargeable in-camera with the AC adapter or using the USB cable from a computer. I bought the Wasabi out-of-camera charger with 2 batteries thru Amazon for $20 so I will never run out of power. If you buy the small Lowepro case ($10) from Best Buy both batteries will fit in the zippered pocket.
932092
Yes, it comes with rechargeable batteries that do not have to be removed from camera to charge.

The camera comes with a cable that plugs into a wall outlet to charge the battery (while in the camera). There is no other battery charger supplied. If the battery dies while you are taking pictures, you have to stop and wait to recharge (about 3 hrs according to the manual). The battery can be easily replaced with a fresh spare if you have one. Amazon sells spare batteries manufactured by both Panasonic and third party vendors. You can then charge the batteries when it is convenient using the camera and wall outlet cable.

It uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The battery must be recharged in the camera (no separate charger is provided) so an extra battery is handy.

Yes, this camera has a rechargeable battery but it has to be charged in the camera. The charge lasts a long time at least for the first six months. We also bought two extra batteries and an external charger which came as a kit. The manufacturer is Wasabi Power. I think we have only changed batteries once in three months.

yes. and nice because you can charge the battery in the camera. the charger is very small and you plug it directly into the camera, no need to take the battery out as I did with my previous camera; however the battery is removable in case you want to buy a spare, but I don't think you'd need it - battery lasts a long time

no, but the rechargeable are pretty darn cheap. Also without the recharge feature you would be running through batteries really quick.

I haven't specifically used these batteries for your purpose. I have, however, used them for XBox controllers, TV remotes, a battery powered razor, battery powered clocks, my home thermostat, and RC cars. In every case, the performance of the rechargeable batteries has met or exceeded the performance of standard batteries. Rechargeable work well enough that I haven't purchased a standard battery for a couple of years. One recommendation I would make though, is to buy a few more batteries than you need. This way you can simply swap the discharged batteries for some newly-charged ones right away. I know that I didn't answer your question directly, but hope it helps.

No, it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries. You use normal batteries. I think is better because you can have a couple of backup batteries

Hello there! This battery requires 4 AAA batteries, and no they are not rechargeable.

You can use rechargeable AA batteries. However because of their limited capacity compared to the Lithium batteries that ship with it you may not be as many or even a complete recharge of you device using rechargeables.

Yes, you can use any brand of rechargeable batteries. I have used Sanyo, Amazon, Eveready, and others.

I don't think rechargeable batteries are recommended for use in this unit. I buy the big pack of alkaline AA batteries at Sams or Costco to reduce cost and save spent batteries to be taken for recycling during our haz waste day. Great little unit for the $$

Yes, you can purchase recharging batteries that will work. I bought Energizer Recharge Power Plus from Lowes Hardware and they do work. Regular batteries (non-rechargeable) do not work!

I haven't tried to recharge them. But there isn't anything on the batteries that indicate they are rechargeable.

I just use alkaline batteries. I am not sure about rechargeable batteries. Sorry.

We did not try rechargeable...but the batteries only run the LED light, for using the microscope at night or in dim settings, so I don't see why rechargeable wouldn't work. Though rechargeable batteries' top power levels are never quite as high as non-rechargeable, I don't think you'd see any difference in light levels, since LEDs take so little power to run. Any difference the lower power levels made would likely be in how long between battery changes, instead.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

Sure, get some D-cell sized rechargeable batteries and a charger. They are lighter than standard D-cells but the charger is extra weight.

No, they are no rechargeable. The old brush was a plug where you could keep it charged, but the new one has batteries that need to be replaced.

I don't know about rechargeables, I do know that they don't eat batteries, on my second set in a year! Only use around a set in a winter, about an hour a day.
