I checked with the paperwork inside the box and this solar light includes a set of Ni-chad rechargeable batteries. Not sure on how long they would last but they are rechargeable.

Can't give exact time but they last pretty good time. They use reg AAA batterys.

It's a 6 volt 4.5Ah rechargeable sealed lead battery. My original was made by Power One and failed to hold a charge after 18 months. This battery represents about 75% of the weight of the light... lead will do that. I found a replacement on Amazon for about $10, which claims they need to be replaced every 3-5 years. I just ordered it, so no comment on performance. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006N61RW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=O4ITN6WDQLMQ&coliid=I2MHNAW465GPTP

I don't see a date on them, but I have ordered these batteries 3 or 4 times for at least 10 years. They last as long if not longer than the ones provided by the home security firm. I can't give you a time space, but they work quite well for me.

Our daughter has had hers for over a year and a half and the kids really use it a lot and all we have done is buy a replacement battery so she has a spare. These things are TOUGH.

It is the cheap Chinese made cells they use. I opened one up to get to the bottom as to why these things lose their charge so quickly and got my answer as soon as I tore into the battery lack. As suggested by someone else, either get a battery shop to build you a battery out of better cells (Panasonic or Sanyo would be good choices) or put one together yourself if you have the inclination.

I charged them initially for about three hours. One of the batteries seems to take a charge overnight, but the other is pretty bad. I love the unit when it is working, but all too often, the battery goes dead without any warning. I've tried to get replacement batteries (thinking I may have a bad one), but can't find them anywhere. This is totally unacceptable! If anyone knows where to get replacements, please let me know.

We have been using ours since at least June of last year & the battery has not died yet. So they last a long time.

It comes with a battery, but they don't last very long. You can find them pretty cheap here.

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've had them HOLD there charge for 4 months of non use! up to 2 months of off and on use and for at the irish fest shooting and video taping 2 - 4 hours depending on how hard I'm going They do hold up well I cannot complain! Those batteries that only cost a few dollares and ya I've tried them! NO.....don't hold the charge for long and don't last that long either. I've had the cheapies go in 2 - 3 years you know freshly charged and Dead in 30 min.

I haven't replaced the battery that came with it. It's one the small wafer type batteries. You can get them most anywhere from Walgreens to Home Depot.

battery is shot. The more you use it the less time it will last. Start looking on ebay or amazon for a replacement battery should cost 20-25 bucjs

You can still buy brand new replacement batteries for these for about $75. On a new battery, this machine will run 3-4 hours on a single charge. When the battery gets old, as in any laptop, it won't hold for more than a few minutes. But that has nothing to do with this particular model of computer. That is true of any computer and any rechargeable battery system. Depending on which one you get, you might get 30 minutes or 3 hours of batter life. It's impossible to know. Ask the seller. If the batter is less than a year old, you will get very good battery life out of it ... at least 2 hours.

I have not had to replace the battery for the last two years. Since the price is so reasonable, I would purchase a new one instead of replace the battery. It is nor worthy replace the battery. I hope that help.
