Some reviews say I need rechargeable batteries. If I do, do I need to buy a separate charging unit?

No. The batteries are included w the unit and you can buy replacements when u are ready. Romy Pierce 877 287 0608

I use rechargeable Duracell batteries. The unit comes with two "AA" batteries but because I like to be prepared when I go I purchased a charger with rechargable batteries. The unit last exceptionally long on one charge so I have no complaints

There is no charger in this unit. SO it lasts as long as the batteries do. You can use your own rechargeable batteries but the unit will not charge them. When the AC pin is plugged in it overrides the batteries.

No, you do not have to keep the batteries recharged. The unit can sit for months with out use and then when you need it, it will work perfectly.

No. Charger has to be bought separately. I suggest that you purchase the charger that has the capability to turn itself off when completely charges. It cost a little more but it does not set there and continually charge the battery like the cheap ones that are normally shipped with the tools. Also the better charges will charge the batteries much quicker, like two hours from complete flat to full charge approximately.

it comes with it's own charger so you can charge 2 batteries at once and your existing chargers should be able to charge them

There is a charger included, so I have no idea what "Recharge extra" means. I thought that rather odd wording too. The unit itself is great. My husband and I each have one and love them! Once charged, lasts about 5-7 days, so you won't have to worry about the "recharge" all that often and "recharge extra" not at all. :)

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

When I purchased mine, I bought batteries separately. I would buy two sets of batteries and one charger. The light is great but when the batteries are out of charge the light is completely out. I have bought 3 of these lights.

No, you must have a lithium ion charger. I purchased a separate 2 battery charger.

A separate battery charger (included with the camera) is required. You must take the battery out of the camera to charge it. Hence, you should have two (or more) batteries. I really prefer disposable batteries.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

I do use rechargeable batteries. I carry 4 sets in my golf bag and switch them when they go dead. I'm not sure about charging them in the unit, I do not. Mine did not come with anything to charge the unit with batteries in. Sorry I'm not much help. But I do like it. Works great

It comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Just make sure you connect it securely inside the unit for the first charge. I then let mine run all the way down before I charge it up again.

I have used mine a lot and just recharge it the charger. You can buy 3.6 v Lithium-ion batteries so if your batteries are not recharging I would open it to see which battery you need.

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.
