Not completely sure. It feels like plastic but is very solid so not sure completely

Plastic. Works fine, I actually bought a second one. Cant run both at same time though as controller works both on same signal. But when first one runs down, you have a spare ready to go since recharge takes a while.

If you look at Joel Miller's review, he has a video where he takes the product apart (and voids his warranty). He points out the battery is a Ni-Metal Hydride. Hope that helps your decision.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

Aluminum. Has held up well so far.Do not unplug by pulling the rubber end. I accidentally pulled the actual electronics from the metal casing.Super-glued it back together, then ran some HD Tune Read/Write test to heat it, to help set the glue. Seems to have worked so far.

I looked on the battery and there is no information. I don't seem to have the literature that came with it. Sorry.

Sorry, I'm not finding any information on the battery or the papers I got with it that show when it was made.

These battery can be purchase but would require you to remove the outside shell and I am not familiar with the specifics of that, but google it!

Kinda cheap plastic. Makes that plasticky stretching sound when I crouch down and it is in my front pocket sometimes. But the battery is awesome.

The silicon is covering the battery. Take out the silicon covering to expose the battery. It is not hard and it can be replaced easily.

I believe one of the lithium ion batteries - but not sure which one. Still using the one that came with it.

On either side there is a very small indentation underneath the red plastic. You can put a screwdriver or something in there and gently push the red plastic piece off the black backing and then install the battery. Then snap the red plastic back on the black backing. Hope this helps.

To the best of my knowledge it is a lithium ion battery. I love it. It lasts a long time
