Ok, so some people say it's rechargeable. Some say it's not. What's the correct answer?

This particular model (804) does have a rechargeable internal battery. Somewhere in the reviews (I think under 4 star), I saw mention of an 807 model that requires AA batteries; however, when I searched for that one, I could not find it. I used this board for about a year, before I gave it to a friend, who has also used it for almost a year now. It's quite handy.

Yes. It charges with a USB cord. Plug it into a computer or use any cell phone charger.

It is recharchable. :) this keyboard kind of sucks though. I had such difficulty trying to get it to connect to my tablet.

The one I have came with a USB cable for charging but it stopped holding a charge after about 6 months. It still works but always needs to be plugged in to the computer which then supplies power directly. Defeats the purpose of bluetooth, but does function. Amazon says I bought this, but the description doesn't look like it - mine definitely does not take AAA batteries. There was only 1 or 2 models when I got it, now there are many, and I don't think any match what I have.

It most definitely IS rechargeable, and the battery life is amazing. It recharges by a micro-USB port. I have to recharge mine about once a month.

Yes it is rechargeable, has worked nice for me, issues:1- can not set location to neg (-)degrees so for me living in Tanzania at -03 south that stinks,2. Have not been able to use a computer to update the firmware or sat list, So if you don't mind programming the unit by hand with information from one if the many websites out there it's an ok unit. Price was right for me

It has a rechargable battery but that battery doesn't last very long so it's better if it's plugged in all the time. Plus, it works better when it's plugged in then when it's on battery mode

I'm pretty sure that the battery is not recharcheable, but it is supposed to last quite some time.

you can recharge it either way, however it will charge faster if plugged into an outlet via usb

Ya it is rechargeable. Not sure if it has 500 charges in it but it had held almost a full charge being in my car glove box for the last 2 months

Yes, it's rechargeable. You just plug it into your computer's USB to charge. The charge lasts a few days if it's not used all the time.

Hi Kari, I would imagine that rechargeable would be the way to go. Roger S.

Its rechargeable. You can actually hear when it needs charging and i think the instructions say that every few months you need to let the battery die and fully charge. Its a good investment.

Unfortunately no, it is not rechargable. Look at it like a modern day boom box. Batteries in, batteries out.

It is rechargeable. Comes with mini USB chord. I plug the USB side into a computer, or my phone's charger and that does the job.

Yes, it is rechargable. The photo shows the little jack, the same size as on your phone. Switch the cord it comes with so that it plugs in to here instead of your phone, then plug the regular USB plug in to a power source, computer or power plug on the wall. The four little lights will have one show red for the part that is charging (25%, 50%, 75% or last bit to 100% full). When it's fully charged, they will all be blue. I've had it two years, and it still works great.

Yes it is rechargeable, it is small and won't spill, no liquid inside. I use it to power all my electronic and lights on my fishing kayak, works great, hardly an weight, and can install it in any position.

The difference is that this is more expensive and pretends to be rechargeable. As many have noted on the site, the recharging does not work.

yes it's rechargeable. Snap-On truck sells this exact model for way more and I've seen it in action. I couldn't believe it started a dead battery.

It's a lithium battery, yes its rechargeable, however the one I purchased was defective and I couldn't determine how long the charge would last. I returned the product and currently waiting on a refund.
