This unit comes with AAA Rechargable Batteriy, so you don't need to order it separately, unless you want to have a spare one. BTW: any recharable NiMH Battery will work (not only Olympus brand, supplied). I highly recommend Sanyo Eneloop Batteries - not only for this device, but for virtually any electronic gadget.

The one I bought came with a battery in plastic, and you can find replacements at a pharmacy or supermarket. No special ordering required.

I guess Amazon has the batteries for this device. I just know I can't buy them just everywhere. I don't know why they didn't use a AAA battery. I think they are thin enough but well...they are the designers. I don't live in the U.S. so maybe that's why I can't get a hold of this model of battery so easily.

The batteries came with it, but I believe they were AAA. I can take it apart late to check if you'd like.

The instructions say to only use the rechargeable battery that is included but I used regular batteries when it died one day and they worked fine. I only used them for a couple of hours then charged the unit again and have no problems since. I'm guessing you could also use any rechargeable AAA, but I've not had these long enough to run the included batteries out.

Comes with rechargeable battery, recommend to order additional battery for longer continual use

It does not come with AAA batteries, only AA, but you can charge compatible AAA batteries in pairs.

No it does not come with a battery. I had to order that separately. Also you have to be aware that it takes a special battery 18350 larger and longer than a AA battery.

(1) 1.2 volt "AAA" solar rechargeable battery. The battery is included with the light. They are very nice. I like them a lot.

3 'AA' batteries can replace the rechargeable battery. I keep 'AA's as back-up when I'm out and about with the units. They make Lithium 'AA's now that are supposedly the best for gear like this.

No, I purchased separately the 18650 rechargeable batteries. Terrific light, you will not be disappointed.

Mine came with a battery. I did however order a battery at the same time because I was unsure. But it did come with one.

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

It comes with its own special battery. That's rechargeable. Should last for long time. From there just order a new battery. It will work with what u get in the box though. It works good.

Yes, it is 3 rechargeable AAA batteries, shrink-wrapped together and with the little wires and connector to make the battery unit plug right into your monitor. My batteries have been working great in our old monitor, and they stay charged for longer than the original ones did.

Mine came with a rechargeable battery pack. May need to contact the seller.

Mine requires a CR123A battery, I don't know if rechargeable ones are available but at one a year or so I would go online and order 3 or 4 and you will be good for a long time.
