can you use rechargeable batteries in the ceiling light and if so, which kind?

I tried the rechargeable AA and they worked fine. The ceiling light wasn't the problem...it was the remote "wall switch" that wasn't any good. I would use it once or twice, and the battery would be dead. Bought replacement batteries at two different stores (in case batteries hadn't moved off store shelf and were old), and the same thing happened. Very disappointing.

the batteries are 3 AA rechargeable batteries. Could make a new battery pack easily by buying batteries from a home depot. I would not buy these lights again as a three of our lights came damaged. the mounts on the lights were broke. very poor quality.

I would only use these if the solar light was made specifically for NiMH batteries. Other types of batteries will have different charging profiles/protection circuits and may not work or may even be dangerous if used in the wrong application.

These should run fine on a battery, but I cannot recall what the power connector is on the light. Ours are all installed on a studio ceiling grid along with their individual power supplies.

Can you use the battery operated lights inside them? Anywhere to hold them in.

Absolutely! Any kind of light can be used to recharge with the Enerplex. It is great!

Great question, never tried with rechargeable batteries but this is the best Mighty Bright unit hands down.

I use rechargeables. The problem is I forget to turn the lights off, and the batteries die.

The beauty of these lights is that the battery is rechargeable via a USB connection, such as a phone charger or a computer. The battery is not replaceable as far as I know.

No you don't need rechargeable batteries. There is a built in battery inside that is rechargeable by solar. Great light tho.

Yes. You can use regular batteries as well. I am currently using regular batteries on the two I have because both rooms are a bit dark and the time shuts off on evenings when it gets darker.

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but they won't last as long as the lithium

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

Yes , I am certain you can use rechargeable batteries in this lamp ; however in my experience rechargeable batteries are not very long lasting and will eventually not accept a charge . I stick to fresh regular D batteries and they work just fine .

There are certain Cree flashlights & other Cree lights that use that type of battery. U just have to search which ones. Hope this helps you.

Ruth, I have not experienced this type of battery. Howver, we have over 15 solar lights in our gardens and I never use the specifically recommended batteries. All our lights use the regular rechargeable duracell or energizer batteries. We never have to recharge, as the solar energy keeps them charged. We experience much brighter lights constantly. Another idea, if you want more light at light, take off the inside mantle exposing the bulbs. Hope this helps.

I believe just uses the regular batteries or perhaps could use rechargeable batteries but does not charge the batteries, nor a usb. a simple lamp that works for our purposes very well. great for camping too.
