What type of rechargeable battery does this unit contain? Is it NiCad, NiMH, SLA, or Lithium? Thanks

The manual states that there is a recyclable lead-acid battery in the unit.

First Power MH28204 - sealed lead acid. After about two years mine is about shot.

The problem is when the battery (and it is a sealed unit), goes you have no choice but to use it plugged in the cigarette lighter. I checked with Black and Decker and they don't make a replacement battery that you can buy for the unit. I haven't checked with any independent battery places but I'm disappointed with B&D.;

They are lithium batteries...and it is sealed. I believe that they are AA batteries sealed...but I have not disassembled it to find out. The SecurityIng website has the AA batteries, so I am guessing that is what they are. I finally ordered a second larger battery as a safety battery. Still love this light....brightest light in my night riding group.

SLB-10A Li-ion. This is a good kit for the money: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FJU4TW/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The battery is Universal Voltage: 100 to 240V~50/60Hz built into the unit. As a user I don't know whether it's ni-cad or lithium ion and haven't owned it long enough to have experienced an issues with the battery. I DO know it works well and I am thrilled with the performance of the unit.

I'v used rechargeable batterys in mine for over 2 years NiMH Rechargeable Cell: AA Size, 1.2V 2600mAh from www.batteryspace.com/

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.

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

Yes, I have the Li and the NiCad. The Li charger works on both batteries btw. The Li battery really performs

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.

It has a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery Type SLB-10A 3.7V 1050mAh (3.8 Wh) that is available from Samsung, but there are also third party manufacturers such as Lenmar DLSG10A. A very good camera, by the way. Very good pictures and very durable and versatile.

I'll agree with the consensus.I cannot confirm or deny compatibility with the very old NiCd batteries, and in fact do not recommend it, but I can confirm by experience that NiMH - both "standard" and "long shelf life/pre-charged" - and the iGo batteries both work in this charger.

Hi, Yes, I use Energizer NIMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargable batteries for daily use, Energizer Lithium for long term storage (emergency kit).

The 20v MAX lithium battery will not fit tools that used the 18v NiCad battery. They are both 18v (nominal) battery packs. It would be less expensive the replace the cells in your NiCad pack with high capacity Ni-mh cells.

It specifies Lithium rechargeable batteries. I am having trouble finding rechargeable batteries that are lithium...most are Ni-MH. Can these still be used? (Sorry for the ignorance...I have never used rechargeable batteries!)

I think it's lithium. Yes, it is rechargeable. It's a flat square that slips into the camera next to the SD card. It comes out to fit in the charger that is supplied. Some cameras let you charge while the battery is still in the camera. This one comes out to charge in a separate holder - which may be good if you shoot a lot & have 2 batteries, so one can charge while you're using the other. Go to Panasonic's website for this camera to read the specs.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. This is a NiCad battery. NiCads are a thing of the past. The best thing that you can do is send your old battery module to a re-cell company and have them re-cell it with nickel metal hydride (NiMh) cells. The NiMh cells hold more energy, last longer and are not as subject to "outgassing" as NiCad cells. (This is probably why your module failed.) Texas Battery and Provisional Battery (in Atlanta) are two that I use. You can Google "battery module recell companies" to find one near you.This is cheaper and easier in the long run...and you get your ORIGINAL battery pack back so you know that it fits.Hope this helps.
