is there a rechargeable battery available, so as to have longer "play" time?

the boat has a generic 9.6v 800mah battery . It looks like 8 AA batteries wrapped in yellow plastic. (4 x 2 )It has a black and red wire sticking out of it at the end of the wires is a plug that hooks into the plug on the boat . You may need to look online for it . It looks like a 9.6 pack that a rc car can run from. hope this helps

I don't know if you can other the extra battery. Each RC boat seems to have different connector for the battery.

You can recharge the same battery after use.If charged for 6 hours you can get 4hrs or more of playing tim.Overall the battery that come's with it is reachargable.this ship is good for a pool but more so a lake.Also it accelerates quick aswell for more info on this product

Kathleen: That should not be a problem. What brand of rechargeable battery you use has no bearing on the functioning of this gadget. You can also use regular (non-rechargeable batteries) as well. Each battery, whether regular or rechargeable, is 1.5 volt and two batteries put together simply generates 3 volt of current, that is all this player needs to operate. By the way you can also use an adapter instead of batteries that you can plug into 120 volt house line to power this player. You have to buy it separately, I believe any store such as Walmart has the adapters. Hope that helps

No. It comes with an adapter for the the built in rechargeable battery & you can play it while it's being recharged.

As far as I know there isn't. However, the battery doesn't drain all that fast unless you have a defective model.

Either way...that is the purpose of the battery. Battery life is limited if you play it at high volume.

Yep. It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hrs, though I've actually gone longer than that on it.

Assuming you mean not plugged into a power source--yes; however, it takes 8AA batteries and only plays for about 3 hours (continuous). So if you use it to practice, you'll want to plug in. It can make it through a full performance set though.

Yes. I just add my mp3 files to my usb plug it in the player and press play. The battery lasts around 4-5 hours when fully charged and not plugged in.

I'll try that recommendation. I usually get about 4-6 hours of playing time (afterall my iPod IS 6+ months old), but that's with tinkering around with settings, pictures, playlists, AND having the backlight on "10 seconds". I'm switching it lower and I'll see what I get.But, the older the iPod gets, the lower battery life it'll get, everyone should know that. It's a lithium-ion battery that has about 500 charges in it, and with each charge it lessens the battery life, it's inevitable, but worth it.

It does not come standard with a rechargeable battery. You need either 2xAA batteries (which can be rechargeables if you want-I use eneloops myself) or the Microsoft rechargeable battery pack and the play/charge cable.

I've used it while plugged in for several hours. Don't know about unlimited play time. I would think you could.

Yes, replacement batteries are available, but not for the purpose of swapping out of to extend ride time. If the battery were to stop holding a charge it can be replaced.

Yes, comes with a rechargeable battery. About 4 hours gives it a full charge. I use it on my pc for additional speaker. Works fine.

I'm not sure if the battery can be replaced, most likely no. What I do know is that I played mines for about 8 hours at full volume before the battery died so I'd say that's decent. The type of battery it is you would probably get a couple hundred recharges. You may want to alternate between using it till the battery is completely drained and using it while charging. It will help to extend the battery life. Hope this helps.

Battery life does not last long.Play at full volume it last only for 2 hrs.

Hi! I do not think there are rechargeable "button" batteries. I could be wrong... I found Batteries Plus very helpful.

It is rechargeable and it comes with its own usb chord. However the chord is short so playing while it's charging isn't much of an option. Sorry I was really late with you answer.
