The title claims the improved battery pack is included, but the description says that it is the default battery. Which one is correct?

If I remember correctly its the new battery in waterproof rubberized containment case. Great bright light.

p.s. after reading the other posts, I suspect that this version is the "new, improved" but may now be called "default" That is, they are encased completely in a rubber housing rather than the metal exterior described for the previous battery set.

Maybe I can help. Anything you order through Amazon or one of Amazon's affiliates will be selling the latest product, as they could not possibly have the old units still in stock. I have the 2012 808U version, which was the updated battery, and have had no problems with the battery. I went for a night ride a couple weeks ago, about a 90 minute ride with the beam on high, and I still had PLENTY of battery life left. I can also comment on the ruggedness of the unit, because I ate dirt 6 times on that night ride and everything still works. The light is BRIGHT and will turn night into day for you. Maybe I can help.

Hi Mike,We previously purchased the MJ-808E version and I just recently also received the MJ-808U as a gift. Both lights have the exact same battery pack (4x18650 Li-ion battery (8.4V 4.4AH)). Therefore, I would assume that the 808U battery pack should be described as the "default" battery. Both lights have worked well for us though, so I would not hesitate to recommend either light to friends.

Mike, it is the 2013 version of the light. This last weekend I did a night race where I was on the bike for 70 minutes during the race and had it on high the whole time. It still had plenty of batter left when I finished the race. The battery indicator goes from green to blue to yellow to red as the batter dies. It just turned to blue when I finished by what someone told me. So I would say it is the improved battery pack. Jon

I have two new units and had two old units. As far as I know, the new improved batteries ARE the default batteries. The old type in the black aluminum cylinder housings are a thing of the past and should be long gone.

I've never used the old battery, but from what I can gather the housing is different. It's quite sturdy and very well made. It does last quite some time but I've not actually tested the complete burn time. Hope this helps, I intend to buy another so that should be a good indication.

Yes rechargeable battery is included, but it does not last as long as specs sayLuis

Mine only came as battery (3 AA's) and I think you have to buy the power pack separately.

Yes !!! The ad says "Battery & Charger"!!!!Besides that... The 'original' price (before the huge discount and savings... The price is for BOTH

I purchased the "Battery" only. I would ask for a description from the seller because the photo shows the case and not the battery. Vincent

It is an aftermarket battery. That said, it's a big boost over the standard battery. It is thicker at the back of your computer when installed so it gives better ventilation and viewing angle in my opinion. Battery life has been very much enhanced over factory. A great choice for me and hopefully for your computer. It is larger so it will take up more of a computer bag.

Yes I noticed that too. I appreciated your first post with the website on where to get the Lithium-Ion Battery because that answered one of my questions of how much was a replacement battery. That website also informed me of what all comes with this product (ie. line, battery, and charger) unlike Amazon's description. I am definitely leaning toward this product as my grass trimmer, but I still am hoping for some more reviews regarding this product before I order.

I never recieved mine so don't know personally but was told by someone else, that you don't have to purchase anything else to use it and yes, will have to recharge the battery pack.

You have nothing to worry about with the current, improved version. I talked directly with ThermoWorks about this and learned that they have upgraded the unit's circuitry and are now using a better battery. I have had mine for nearly two years, use it regularly, and have not had to replace the battery yet.

The one we bought did not. I searched the web for a battery pack you could buy, but came up empty handed. It would have made a big difference for my wife too. Kind of a bummer

There is a panel on the back that, most likely is for the battery pack, which is a Li-Polymer battery they describe as "built in". You will probably have to contact OREI (orei.com) to find out about replacements. A quick search did not find any third-party products available.

My original purchase was for both the battery and the sleeve featuring the RF converter. Because the battery is rechargeable, I have not yet needed to order just a replacement battery. And the sleeve is not just for recharging; it affects how the remote control functions. So, without knowing what specific order you are contemplating, I cannot tell what parts are included. Isn't it covered in the description?

The battery depicted in this picture does not appear to be the same one that I purchased. The one that I rated was white with a blue label, and it indicates 950mAh, 3.7v, and a serial # S.S: NTA2340, L/N: 0108. It was advertised by several retailers as being the latest version. Hope that this helps you out.

Yes. It's actually what you would call an "upgrade" (last longer). Compare the life of the original supplied battery to the other three (choices) sizes, below.

The battery is part of the package and you need not purchase it separately.

Everything you stated is correct--battery is included and rechargeable. If there are issues with the battery you can contact the manufacturer for details.
