This use 2 AAA batteries, yes you can use rechargeables ones to save money.

I've been using 2 AAA Ni-MH rechargable batteries in it. Can play continuosly for about 48hrs before changing them out. Getting the batteries out of the controller is kind of tricky but can be done with no harm to the batteries or controller if you take out one with your finger nail and gently bang the other one out. Ni-MH AAA batteries with charger is fairly cheap.

It uses the 18650 batteries. They are sold on Amazon. Be sure to get the RECHARGABLE ones. They are much larger than the AA batteries.

For anything using AA batteries, I recommend Sanyo Enerloop rechargeable batteries. They are many times better than any I have used previously. They not only have good duration, but also hold their charge unused for a longer time.

The device uses AAA size regular alkaline disposable batteries and consumes very low power (they last long time depending the frequency of usage), it does not make a sense to use rechargeable batteries.

It comes with Standard ++AA battery, one of the cheapest option. It can be rechargeable also.

I bought and use it exclusively for AA rechargeable batteries. But the product literature very clearly states that it will work on AA and AAA and adjust the charging current appropriately - so I am not sure what you are questioning.

It uses AAA batteries. Just buy extra recharagable ones and a charger at Walmart and you always have extra. You can also buy them on Amazon.

3 AAA Batteries. I've tried about 6 different brands of batteries, including rechargeable, and they only last a few hours on the bright setting. They will glow dimly for a few hours more. I use rechargeable eneloops and have to change them every day. On the search for a better alternative but may end up with an electric light anyway.

The EA4 uses four AA batteries. It would probably work all right with rechargeable batteries, but I don't use rechargeables. Batteries were not included with the EA4 that I purchased. The EA4 is a good flashlight for the money. Its only fault that I've found thus far is that it gets very hot - too hot to touch - after being on the brightest setting for a while.

No, the batteries I ordered are AA not AAA? My device uses AA, so not sure what your uses. These AAs are the same size as non rechargeable, so. I assume the AAAs will be the same

I haven't tried re-chargeable AAA batteries in the Remix headlamp. However, I don't see a functional reason for why you couldn't try them. It is my experience that I have been getting about 10 -12 hours of use between replacing the standard Duracell / Energizer batteries. I roughly use the high and low settings an equal amount of the time. I have been pleased with the performance of this product.

I actually didn't use rechargable. I used regular AA and it worked perfectly for me!

I am not sure but they either take AA (most likely) or AAA. Yes, they can be used with battery only, why else would they have the battery option? As for how long, they lasted quite a while for us.

i've used it with both rechargable and AA batteries. the AA worked for me, but had two negatives in comparison to the rechargables: it felt heavier, and the battery life was shorter. if your adapter for the AA isnt working properly, it might be the unit. have you tried using the rechargable batteries?

Yep, this little flex lite does take 'AAAA' battery's. Readily available at just about any Walmart, Target, etc. The lite is bright, durable, and battery's last quite a long time!!!

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

Takes normal AAA batteries and works quite nicely. Don't know what performance would be with rechargeable batteries. I've had and used it quite a bit for over a month and batteries have lasted.
