What type of battery does it have? NiMH?

It takes standard AA's. Yes, it does fine with rechargeable NiMH's. It also has its seperate own built-in internal battery, which is what you are charging when you turn the crank or plug it into a car's 12 volt cigarette-lighter plug.

I was just given the PowerShot A560 (haven't had time to play with it, yet). Anyway, excuse my ignorance but what are NiMH cells and how are they different from alkaline?Thanks for your assistance.

It uses 2-AA batteries. I use the NiMH rechargeable but regular AA work also. Using the menu, you select the type of AA battery you are using.

They're not Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are rechargeable "Li-ion" batteries. Big difference between Lithium and Li-ion.

Wow, these comments just made me realize that this is a NiCad battery. Didn't think they made those anymore!

Battery pack came with it -- it a 2.4V 400mAh Ni-MH. Haven't had to replace battery yet. Will probably need a new phone before battery. Like the phone. Haven't had any troubles with it.

NiMH batteries are 1.2 volts per cell, all AAA's contain 1 cell, so these batteries are 1.2 volts

I haven't had it long enough to know and face that dilemma. I had to toss a different brand because I could not access the rechargeable battery. I hope this one can be opened somehow to access what are usually very NiMH standard batteries, but I don't know. Good luck. Maybe Waring can tell you.

Probably a standard NIMH recharger. You can buy them for $5 and up -- I have a $40 one. The more expensive ones make your batteries last longer.

I bought this battery and there isn't anything under the Ni-MH or any number/letter like that on it anywhere. Maybe it's just a manufacture date. I would chance-it because it's a great price!

For what its worth, the manual says to only use nickel metal hydride (NiMH) type batteries.

I use various brands of rechargeable batteries, as long as they're Nicad or NIMH.

Good idea, but NO unfortunately. The one plus is that it is a lithium battery, which is lighter, and according to the Remington packaging I am looking at, "Up to 3x longer life than NIMH rechargeable battery".

Apologies for such a late/delayed response. ALL of the listed rechargeable batteries AA/AAA/C/D/9V are handled, and BOTH types, the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCD). I have been using it for quite awhile now, and this unit works wonderfully. But, I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone, spend a little bit more money on the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeables! They last about two to three times as long after recharge than the NiCD type. Just a suggestion :) :) :)
