i really cant say if it has li-ion type batteries or not. you just got to get 1 and open it up and find out or ask sume 1 if they are willing to open up 1 of thers and see if it has li-ion in it.

I've never had to change one. They hold a charge exceptionally well. And the unit is sealed, so if you open it up to check, the warranty is void.

it doesn't matter; just leave it in the sun to charge it! IF your unit won't charge from the sun, then there are 2 possibilities:1. your circuit board is faulty and you need to replace the whole unit.2. you live in a place with latitude above 41 degrees or so, so solar power DOES NOT WORK in the winter because the sun is too weak.Seriously though, it uses a pair of AA Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries but THE UNIT IS SEALED so you can't really get to them.

Hi James: I also thought they were lithium but they are not. They are an upgraded NiCad. The ones I bought are working great. Found out that you do NOT keep them on a charger all the time. Use until run down then recharge and remove from charger when charged. These have lasted over 2 years. The older non upgraded lasted 6 to 9 months but I kept them on the charger all the time.

I'm sure they have a lithium ion battery since other batteries can't provide that kind of power. It is not recommended to deplete lithium batteries since they have no memory and you can simply keep it charged up on the charger without fear of it losing performance after each cycle. One thing to avoid is high temperatures which will shorten the life of the battery. Most lithium batteries last 3-5 years. Hope that helped. Regards, RAM

Yes, you can use either Lithium Ion or Ni-Cd batteries. You will need to be sure to use either a Lithium Ion or Multi Chemistry battery charger however.

I'm not sure, but the type of battery is easily available and will need to be replaced someday anyway. Good product.

I'm sorry but I don't know what kind of batteries. I purchased this item, but it did not work properly and returned it, good luck on finding your answer.

The short answer is yes, they work fine. A lithium-ion battery does require it's own charger, but in the case of my Craftsman powered tools the lithium-ion charger will also recharge the conventional ni-cads.

They are 18650 Batteries. Amazon has plenty of choices. You will likely need a charger for them also. Decent flashlight - worth the extra dollars for the batteries and charger to round out the set!!

Hello, yes, according to all references, it is the same battery type. I've got four of these now(batteries) cause I found an LED video light assembly that uses the same battery format for power. Excellent performance so far...

sorry, not familiar with those type batteries but I do have some rechargeable batteries and they fit fine as do regular batteries.

Not sure what type but they are those small round batteries that look like watch or hearing aid batteries. They came with a pre-installed set so they are ready to go out of the pkg.

I went in the shop and looked based on your comment and the data in the details on the web. The batteries are indeed lithium and working just as originally noted.

No, I wish they were! But, on the bright side, this brand of battery lasts longer than the energizer... so you won't need to re-order them anytime soon! However, if you're looking for rechargeables, you can find them here: 2032 Battery Li-Ion Rechargeable Button Cell LR2032 CR2032 3.6v and of course you'll need a charger: Lir 2032 Charger 2 X Lir 2032 3.6 Volt Li-Ion Rechargeable Button Cells hope that helps!!

Built in battery. (I don't know exactly what type of battery it is. I just guess Li-ion rechargeable.)

They are two Lithium Ion batteries, quite small and lightweight but hold a charge through a lot of work. So far I'm impressed.

I had called the merchant to find the answer myself! Was told it is STANDARD lithium ion battery but Amazon requires them to list the SAME battery under several different names with different prices! So you can easily pay MORE for exactly the SAME battery on Amazon! Confusing isn't it?!

I believe they are Li-ion. They are small and light and seem to have good duration in use.
