It comes with its own special battery. That's rechargeable. Should last for long time. From there just order a new battery. It will work with what u get in the box though. It works good.

I am not sure, have not had to replace the battery since I got the light. You may try Radio Shack.

This lamp does not have a built-in solar panel to recharge the batteries. I use AA alkaline batteries as they have a long shelf life, usually last longer than rechargeables and can be bought cheaply. Remember, when your power goes out you will not have the ability to recharge your rechargeable batteries so buy a box of alkaline batteries to power all your emergency devices for at least several days, better to have spare batteries on hand than sit in the dark with dead rechargables.

Yes you can. I found the higher mAh,the longer the light lasts. I use the 4500 mAh. This light is used daily these higher bats last me a week between charges.

Uses standard square 6 volt lantern battery available at most grocery and hardware stores. You can also use the adapter that came with the flashlight with 4 D batteries.

I only use regular batteries, I honestly do not know about that, sorry. I guess we'll have to do some research.

You can use 'C' batteries. But you will find that the rechargeables work so much better you won't want to use "regular" batteries.

Yes, you can use the 3.7v. I use a rechargeable 3.7v, and it actually produces a brighter light than a standard AA lithium.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

Yes. I use them in mine. It seems to work better with regular batteries (longer). But it does work. Awesome edc light

The rechargeable batteries are in there already - just charge it up and start using. I don't have regular batteries in it. Great lantern!

There are certain Cree flashlights & other Cree lights that use that type of battery. U just have to search which ones. Hope this helps you.

No, the battery is just a little one for the transmitter. If there was a light I doubt it would last long.

NO !!! You need the 18650 batteries. The regular AA batteries won't work, they are too small lengthwise and will not work.

If your unit comes with the 18650 Battery, then no. If it comes with the 14500 battery, then yes you can use AA batteries. The light will be not as bright 1.5 volts ver 3.7 volts. but the light is still good.

You can use regular batteries but depending on how often you use it, you'll be changing them fairly frequently so it may be more economical to get rechargeable.

Dear Ken, Sorry to be so long in getting back with you. I just talked with my husband, however, and he said yes, you can buy spare batteries and the type you need is listed on the box. We have not bought any, however, at this point in time. The lights work really well. Again, I live in Arizona so they get lots of sunlight. Linda
