It does not come with batteries. It is however a wel built unit. The charger died long ago but an external charger works.

No they are not. I bought mine from amazon as well and bought the charger and some rechargeable batteries separately. Same charger as the one pictured but better batteries. Also, it does come with a port to plug in a charger (included power pack style) on the flashlight itself while the batteries are in the flashlight but the external charger is a better way to go for me at least. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with a 7 cell 3000mah Nimh, and a trickle wall charger that charges is very slowly. But it is a pretty good battery it will make it go pretty fast with a decent run time.

I have these in all my devices from flashlights to remote controls. You can get their charger with 4 AA for $16. I never throw away btteries when they are dead, just recharge them. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-NiMH-Precharged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B007B9NXAC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377828306&sr=8-2&keywords=rechargeable+batteries

The included battery is not rechargeable. They are sold here On Amazon for less than $2.00 each. You can purchase rechargeable 123a batteries here 4 per package, with a charger for less than 20 bucks.

They aren't even 4000mah @ 500ma discharge rate. They don't even have the (advertized) capacity of 18650's. After a few charge/discharge cycles they (4 cells) average out at about 3150mAh. The lower the price, the more creative the advertizing.On my charger the mah in is only about 3200mah. Did they not say the 6000mah was TOTAL for the two batteries.

No batteries not included. I use the D cell batteries because the rechargeable always go bad on me. The D cells last a long time.

The item description clarifies "no battery" and, indeed, there is no battery included with this item. There is also no charger. Buy this item if you arleady have Makita tools and an 18V LXT battery and charger. If you need the battery and charger, order the "Makita BCL180W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Vacuum Kit" instead. It includes everything you need.

Edward Shimkus' answer is right on target. I have yet to even charge the supplied Sony Ni-MH batteries included with the charger. However, I have recharged a number of times some old Duracell (2650mAh-not high capacity version) Ni-MH batteries with excellent results, including using the "refresh" function provided by the device. I'm very satisfied with this device and feel it is well worth the price.

The charger and batteries are sold separately. the bonus is that the batteries and charger are still cheaper on amazon. When I bought mine i bought 1 charger and three batteries. Great tool!!

Mine did not include batteries. Some sellers, such as EdisonBright, typically include a set of batteries (which can be an especially good deal for a CR123 flashlight like Olight Baton S10). Edison Bright sells the EA4 for about $15 more and includes 4 AA alkaline batteries. Since I'm a photographer and have lots of them around, I use AA LSD NiMH rechargeables in my EA4 and I'm satisfied with the light output. If I were stashing it for occasional emergency use, I'd use non-rechargeable lithiums which have a very long shelf life.

AA and AAA rechargables... If your looking at the same charger I purchased 4 AA rechargeable are included...

yes it comes with a rechargeable battery along with the charger. the only thing you need to buy is an HD memory card (dosent have to be HD but I am told they show pictures better) & a camera carrying case.

The one I bought had the battery & charger. HOWEVER, I remember seeing one for a much lower price that said NO battery or charger. Bet they are not included on the lower priced one.

It takes a 3.7 V 3000 mAh Rechargeable battery. You can get a regular 3.7 V battery but they are hard to find. I got some at Battery Plus, or something like that and they were fairly expensive, but the best way is to go to Amazon and find them. I ordered 4 rechargeable batteries with a charger and I think it was less than $10.00. When I got my flashlight I was pissed that batteries didn't come with it & they are hard to find. But the ones I bought worked great & they can be recharged. The flashlight is really bright & I have been very satisfied with the light.

No. Neither does the battery. I suggest using an 18650 panisonic cell with at least 3000 mAh. Amazon has Orbtronic 3400mAh batteries right now. I'd get two of them per flashlight so that you have a spare to use while charging, and the Nitecore Intellicharger.

No, You can charge via the removable ac cord or the included car adapter. I hope this isn't a deal breaker for you. I have a JetBeam, which is essentially the same as the nitecore. But now I use the XTAR for all of my 18650's, 6 of them are Orbtronic 3400mAh. It is a great charger. You wont be dissapointed.
