Can this take normal battries too, or is it limited to only the Ion? I won't buy it if it can't take standard battries as it would be useless outdoors

No batteries. Charges with mini USB. Approximately 7days of intermittent use or about 4hrs. Continuos use. Great for outdoor use

No it cant take regular batteries but with a 10 hour run time on average for mine and the ability to charge via your car its a pretty sure bet that you wouldnt go without.

It has a rechargeable internal battery which lasts about five hours. I love it! It gives me radio reception in rooms in which reception is bad to nonexistent. Also it can play while its recharging.

It has a rechargeable battery that last quite a long time. I take it outdoors all the time.

I don't use any batteries.I charge whatever is inside.Its good for easy 4 4-6 hrs-No problem!

Hi Firebomb. It doesn't take batteries at all. You charge it. I use the power source from my iphone along with the cord to the speaker to charge it from a wall outlet. Mine has gone 6 hours straight without needing a charge. We have several in our household, and we've used them for outdoor parties without a problem. I guess it depends on your use.

I cannot remember if it was AA or AAA, but it does take regular batteries. I use mine when camping I have been impressed.

There are no replaceable batteries. It charges via a USB port. Bought one for my daughter. Runs for quite a while before needing charged. Can't touch the speaker quality for the price. Make the Beats "pill" look like total junk. It either connects via Bluetooth or or a built in 1/8" cable.

It only uses it's rechargable battery. Mine will keep a charge for about 5 to 6 hours.

Not too bad. But I use rechargeables almost everywhere now, so not too much of an issue for me. Not sure how regulars hold up. You can run it on 'low beam' to save energy.

I think the extended batt comes with an additional backdoor. You can clic the batt and new backdoor to this housing. This housing is exactly the same as the standard one. The only difference is the lens which is flat (instead of convex).

Don't use regular battery's I tried every single kind and it didn't work but I tried a couple rechargeable battery's and it worked decent. Try the rechargable battery's of your choice. Hope this helps.

I advise u not to charge it with a different charger b'couse it may cause defect on it . The battery can support a certain A or volts but it was designed to measure when it's full charged or empty , what i'm trying to say it's u can short the batery life if u use the wrong charger .

First...yes. You can use this to replace your normal starting batt. Its designed to start the car and allow you to run your accesseries without the engine running. And second, No...You dont have to do that. The battery is just a energy " piggy bank". Its job is to store the energy made buy your alt and send it out when needed to what every your running inside the vehicle. The reason you get a batt like this is because it can discharge many times and not eventually degrade the batterys effectiveness over time. And it helps stabilize vehicle voltage. Its a very good batt.

I bought one, but I cant find a room for AA. this uses an exclusive battery only.

You definately need more than one battery for this camera. They drain faster than I have ever expereinced, esp. in cold weather. They do charge quickley though.It is the only weak point of the camera that I have come across -not bad , and for the price ...amazing! I have not tried aftermarket batteries in this camera but I use Vivitar batteries in my Olympus Stylus with no difference.

Good Morning, I am scared to say that it will take any battery but as long as its a quality 18650 you should be safe. I just checked to be sure and dropped a few different style 18650's into the bore and all worked. The light comes with the Fenix ARB-L1t 3400 + I am tossing in 2 Xtar CR123a's. Thanks, Shane

Unfortunately the design of this camera doesn't allow to put AA batteries instead of Lithium Ion Camera Battery For Sony (acumulator battery), which is included in the set. However I don't have any problems with it. Usually fully charged original acumulator battery is sufficient for one day shooting. My own acumulator battery is working well for more than couple of years since I bought this particular Sony camera.

You use 2 AAA batteries only (no electricity), you can take it anywhere. p.s. it comes with batteries!

Just inserted four rechargeable duracell batteries and it works just fine. Just like B. Conner said, it doesn't take much to run that small pump. I think it's most likely a gimmick to just buy and buy regular batteries, which is such a waste of money and so bad for the environment.

Yes, I work outside in all kinds or weather, it sits straight up in my tool pouch.Very well built, the tail cap with the switch has a o-ring. I have no had a single issue with this flashlight. The batteries are quite expensive, if you won't use it much, then just use the standard batteries. If you will use it everyday look into a rechargeable battery. I bought a pack of 2, they need to be a High Energy CR123A cell, this flashlight demands it, don't buy ones that are rated for cameras. This flashlight needs power. Best flashlight I own, and I have many. Hope this helps.Scott

I'm really not sure if you can use a non-Earthwise battery; but as one reviewer suggested, another 18 volt may work as long as the base (part that plugs into the unit) is the same. Also, the battery would have to be a NiCad, as you cannot use a Liithium battery on a NiCad system.

I called Leapster with that question and they do not rec rechargeable batteries b/c they aren't as strong as reg batteries even when they are new and thus the game may not work properly. Logically though, I'm wondering the diff. in the batt pack and rech batteries. Hope this helps.

That's a very good question, I wanted the answer to that exact question. The answer is "NO" it dosn't, however, it takes two AAA batts which I thought would deplete quickley, that's not the case, I'm still using the first set I installed, nothing special, regular life batts. so far (6 mos or so) 10's of hours of use, works well every time. I really like this thing!

I don't really know but it works great on regular batteries. I would contact the seller to find out for sure.Otherwise, it is a good value to have for other batteries.
