Do you need to keep buying batteries for this? Can you recharge this and how do you recharge it if you can?

It is rechargeable. Just plug it into a USB outlet as if it were a phone, and it will charge. Then plug your phone into it when convenient, and it will charge your phone. Repeat as needed.

The backup battery charger does not use external batteries. Included with the charger is a USB cord that you plug into the external charger to charge it; you then flip the cable around to charge your device.

No you don't have to buy batteries.. The item comes with a Charger you plug in the wall.. I charge mine overnight if I think I'm going to need it then put it in my purse...

It doesn't take batteries. This IS the rechargeable battery. That said, it's a piece of junk. Mine never charged at all, and I returned it. There are much better options out there.

Batteries last quite a while actually. I never used rechargeables but you probably could. Great machine. always dig the nickels!!! I found gold rings that way!!!

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

Buy a dc adapter and it will work without batteries. Or buy rechargeable betteries.

No, it's batteries only - however, you can get rechargeable batteries and recharge those.

Require a power supply: No; Batteries: My book says "to provide back up power". Others have mentioned that the batteries don't last to long

with a little fiddling you can add your own battery that can last many days. All you need is 9V and a battery socket for connection. I use a number of 1.5 V batteries.

There are two different models of this unit. One is rechargeable and comes with the recharger attachment. The other model requires batteries but they do not last very long so by all means get the rechargeable unit. You might try the Stealth unit, I much prefer it and it is also rechargeable. Hope this helps.

It requires 6 AA batteries. I'm thinking you probably could provide yourself with a custom solution for this but no, a non-battery solution for this is not available. However I can tell you the batteries which come with it have lasted me well over a year now without problems.

I believe you have to buy the battery pack separately. They were out of chargers when I bought so I just bought rechargeables to go with.

You can plug it in and you have the option to use batteries. I had mine for almost a year and never put a battery in it.

You shouldn't have to deal with batteries since you can charge it. If it won't take a charge, I'd contact who you bought it from.

yes i bought some rechargeable batteries to use in it. they last for about a six hours constant use on a full charge.

Use rechargable batteries which are 2000ohms of power or more. They will last much longer and are worth the money.

You can charge with it but it can't tell when the batteries are charged. It will keep on charging until you unplug it. You use the usb cord that came with it.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.
