Can you change the batteries to a higher quality rechargeable?

The entire unit is pre-sealed to prevent water from getting in. It might be possible to pry it open to get to the battery compartment inside, but I recommend you don't because you might not be able to seal it up properly. If water gets in, the unit is obviously fried.On another note, the battery lasts a long time. They easily run through the entire night until the sun comes up. Not bad at all.

Well I'm very sure is possible, is nikel-metal rechargable battery pack inside, so you have good contitions for years. But yes finnaly you can change the battery pack, just need a good technicianPlease excuse my English.

I've found you do need to replace the rechargeable batteries now and then. I looked up directions on the internet. It's not difficult but you will need a micro screwdriver and a specialty screw driver as well. The details should be in the internet instructions.

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.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

Sorry that I cannot be more help. I like the unit, but I do not know if the battery can be changed.

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.

I checked in on this and no you can't change the battery. It is welded to the panel and the flashlight.

As far as I know - you can just change the batteries. Its not a cream or something - its a heat-point device.

If you mean by re-chargeable battery, then yes! But if you mean pull-out battery, then no. Hope this helps. p.s. by the way, mine came with a battery as well as being a plug in unit into a 110 volt electricity power outlet.

I would assume so. They are rechargeable batteries and I have not had to replace them yet.

Not rechargeable but you can replace the batteries. I think they are C batteries.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but they won't last as long as the lithium

Yes absolutely - just recharge them instead of throwing them away if shows "replace"

The ones that I purchased, yes the battery is rechargeable. But, if there's a way to replace the battery, that would be great because the batteries suck now. They don't hold a charge for anything. I haven't checked to see if I can replace them. I'll check tonight though.

You can use rechargeable batteries, but there is no built-in rechargeable battery.
