Just want to clarify, the batteries are rechargeable by sun, so this means that I don't have to replace any battery, correct?

This unit uses rechargeable batteries. IT has solar chargers built in. After 2 years you will need to replace the rechargeable batteries. Sometimes they last longer depending on the cold of the winter.

The battery is charged by a solar panel. The light is kept on a windowsill where it is charged by the south sun. The battery has never been totally depleted. During power outages and other times needing a flashlight, it has always worked. The 2 selections for types of light needed in an area are excellent.

Have had spot light since May & have NOT needed to replace solar battery. We reside in southwest Florida.

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

Not sure, but the literature says "100% solar recharging - no batteries". I'm not sure then what is "recharged". Instructions emphasize not to overcharge, limiting light exposure time.

You can buy new batteries (these are recharged by the sun though and you won't have to very often!) We have had the lights out for 3 months or so. They come with batteries. They are solar powered. The batteries get power from the sun. They do wear out eventually (as we have had similar lights) but these are nice looking and are working fine with no battery changes. Hope that helps. We live in a sunny city in CA. I know hard to understand: batteries and rechargeable but no worries about frequent changes at all. None so far. They did come with batteries.

I have not purchased extra batteries. There hasn't been a need since the battery is rechargeable.

The solar panel does not store energy in it's self.The batteries are charged by the solar panel for using the light at night. So no models without batteries at this time.

The battery does not need to be replaced as it is easily recharged by the solar panel on the front of the light. The lithium-ion polymer battery is built to be long-lasting and is high-performing for 1000+ recharges. If there are any other questions/concerns, please reach us at orders@luminaid.com and we would be happy to help!

No, the batteries are not replaceable. Based on my experience, they will break long before the batteries die so battery life will not be an issue.

Recharging is not an option that Ive found or needed. Ive had my mouse for months and am a heavy computer user. Ive not had any need to replace the batteries.

Yes. You can replace with rechargeable or alkaline batteries easily. Do not try to recharge alkaline batteries. They would only be used to recharge a cell phone or something similar.Rechargeable batteries have many cycles before they have to be replaced. They are environmentally friendly. I did not feel that the solar charge feature worked well. The USB cord plugged into external power, works best.

Yes you need to change the batteries but you can use rechargeable batteries.

Also, have used on several occasions and not had to replace the batteries. I don't feel rechargeables are necessary, but if you have them use them. It's a great light and lasts a long time thanks to the LED's with regular batteries.

(Addendum to previous answer). Of course, you need to leave it in sunlight to recharge the batteries...forgot to mention that in my previous response.

As far as I am aware, you never need to replace LED bulbs. You just need to keep the batteries charged.
