It includes a dc adapter to plug into the wall. Wonderful gadget overall, no complaints!

The battery that's in there is rechargable. You can either turn the crank to charge it or use the solar panel on the handle. I forget when I bought but when battery drains I crank it up. Nice gift

I did try doing just what you described because that sounded like a really nice feature if it would work. UNfortunately, no you cannot use a charged battery in the charger to power another device.

It does not say that you can't use rechargeable batteries.....all it says or references is that you should not mix old and new batteries an/or standard and rechargeable batteries....You just helped me actually cuz I never thought of using rechargeable batteries...Good job!!! :)

yes you can,I bought some solar lights that had very low voltage batteries and it charged them just fine.

Yes, you can and actually you have to use electric source at the first time to charge it. And be advised, if you just use solar power, you can jus charge about 75% not anymore, to charge 'till 100% you have to use a elecric source.

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.

Yes it is rechargeable. It uses a cell phone cord to charge it with. It also stays charged for a very long time.

I'm not sure but I believe it can only be charged electrically. I attempted to charge mine in the sun but it didn't charge.

I looked at mine and do not see anyway to do it without dissembling it. You might go to the company WEB SITE and ask them how to do it and order the proper rechargeable batteries for it. Sorry.

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

The battery is just a normal nimh type battery so that is the issue.Take the solar part out of the equation and treat it like its just another charger.

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

As far as I know you can power it with a USB but not charge the batteries. I occasionally use a stand alone, rechargeable power source for mine.

Remove and re- charge. We simply used replaceable alkaline batteries in our circumstances. Did not use rechargeable batteries.

Yes, they can be recharged with other rechargeables. I do it with my energizer multicharger.
