A built in battery that can not be owner replaced. With normal use, the battery should last four or five years, longer than most people keep a Walkman.

Hi Carol, CD Walkman, model DEJ017CK, may use AA batteries, both rechargeable and non-rechargeable. When using rechargeable batteries, you will need to use an external battery charger. Vincent

It uses two triple A batteries, I see no reason why rechargeable AAA batteries wouldn't work. My unit seems to 'leak' electricity in that the batteries run down even when the unit is off. I 'fixed' this by taping a bit of plastic at the entrance to the battery door which I slide over the contact on one battery when it isn't in use, the batteries now last a long time.

It uses 2 AA batteries. Yes, they are removable. You can also use rechargeable AA batteries. The M10 has a menu setting so you choose whether you are using regular store bought batteries or the rechargeables. The menu setting determines how the battery charge indicator reports back to you. BTW - battery life is exceptional! The M10 is a favorite choice of many tapers. Check out the website taperssection.com. Do a search for the thread Sony PCM-M10 in the recording gear forum. It's a huge 7 part thread that has great information. You will not go wrong with this unit.

How long do the batteries last? I love my Lithium rechargables on my Kodak becasue I have NEVER ran out of batteries. My mother has also purchased digital cameras that use 4 AAs and is also having to recharge them. It drives me crazy!!!!!!!!! Do you generally carry around extra batteries? I guess I also leave my camera plugged in, so it is always fully charged and ready to go. I would like to try and Olympus but the 4 AA batteries is really holding me back!Please help!

Cmiller is correct, you can use rechargeable batteries. I remembered a warning in the manual regarding rechargeable batteries, so I checked it again-- it warns against trying to use non-rechargeable batteries in a battery recharger, which might seem like a no-brainer but some people might be tempted to try doing that. There is even a function that lets you specify that you're using rechargeable batteries. But it would be much better to just buy the Survival Kit, which has a power adapter, headphones, and extended warranty.

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.

The unit will charge or discharge depending on what it is connected to. If it is connected to a device requiring power, then the batteries supply power to that device. If it is connected to a power source, it will draw power from the source to recharge the batteries (I'm assuming you are using rechargable batteries). For example, I have a portable MP3 player / remote speaker which has its own battery, but its battery lasts only an hour. Using the PortaPower, it will run all night. The MP3 player is not a power source itself despite having its own battery.

The headphones only run on batteries. I use recharge batteries that are charged on a recharger unit. They last 30+ hours. They will also work on alkaline batteries which will last longer.

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, mine had standard AAA batteries. I presume you could put rechargeable batteries in and then remove them for recharging but recharging with batteries in situ is not an option.Mark

Sure, friend that uses it has MP3 player that takes AAA batteries, just have to use the provided cable. As other answers provided, this speaker will not charge batteries and will work with any player that has a 3.5 MM plug

Sony is a well known brand. Even though the Sony is more expensive, I think the brand supports the quality of the MP3. I have bought four items of this brand and they stop working after a relatively small period of time. I am sure that if I had bought the Sony item in the first place, I will have save a lot of money

Batteries? The batteries are in your mp3 player, radio or computer. I don't think this band has batteries. At least they never ran out on me. LW

In actual time, i don't know. But it is as long as any other mp3 player. I and we have had several different ones. Many many songs can be played before a recharge is required. - Jim
