I thought that this was a rechargeable light. What batteries to do recommend and how many hours can I expect to get from new ones installed.

I'm sorry, but I bought this as a gift for someone else. So, I have not personally used the light and can't answer your question.

I still have original batteries that came with the flashlight in mine from a year ago. Don't use a whole lot though. I have problems with it wanting to go off and have to shake to get it to come back on. It does have a lifetime warranty though. You can use rechargable batteries in it.

This was a gift for someone else, so it took me some time to find answers and I do apologize for the delay. The flashlight takes triple A batteries and does not specify as to alkaline versus rechargeable, and has a strong illumination. As far as battery life the person I gave it to is not for certain for he only uses it on occasion so his batteries are still going strong. I hope this helps.

I just use rechargeable batteries. Can't say how long they last because I only use it on weekends for two months out of the year.

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!

I found that the replacement batteries are junk and i have had 3 of them go bad. But I happened to open up a laptop battery and they have 6 to 9 batteries in them that are the same. I have about 20 of these batteries charged and use them for back ups. THis light will not last an hour with the stock batteries.

I just plug the batteries in for around 8 hours and use em. It works well for me. I hope this helps. I had also purchased new batteries and I charged them overnight the first time. GOOD LUCK

I am very impressed with my light. I only use the rechargeable battery as I get the brightest results. There are also 5 light settings which can be chosen by turning the light on and "double clicking" the on/off button 1. Brightest 2. Mid brightness 3. Dimmest setting 4. Flash 5. SOS. you may have it on the wrong setting. Also, the lense slides in and out. Compressed would be a very wide light, making it dimmer. Sliding the lense out (grand the head and tail ends and pull) gives a more direct and brighter beam of light. Also. Your battery or batteries may be close to dead. Try replacing the batteries or recharging the battery. Again I prefer the rechargeable. Lastly. You may not be charging your battery fully. It must remain on the charger until full. When you place the battery in the charger the indicator light will light up red. When full it will change to green. And depending when the last time the battery was charged will take a long time. I work overnights at work once a month so I charge it before my overnights start. When the week is over I don't charge it till the next month. I have had it take 24 hours to fully charge. But that's my doing. I'm sure if you charged it once a week or so it probably won't take as long. I hope this helps. I spent $40 on this light and it's the best $40 I ever spent. I dropped the light in a pond and dropped it from 150ft+ in the air and it still works as new. Very tough and reliable light. Like I said. Hope this helps

The unit uses rechargeable batteries, but you have to take the light apart to get to them, so I can't tell you what kind they are. Here is the company's web link they might know. www.naturepowerproducts.com/

It's best to buy your own, separate rechargeable batteries online. I recommend looking for around "2300 mah" "NiMH" batteries. With those, I have gone out with a dozen friends and played 2 to 4 hour games every week and maybe recharged them once a month approximately. Some won't even be dead after a couple of months due to light usage.

The light is supposed to turn off when the battery is charged. If it only works when plugged in, that defeats the purpose. I'd contact the maker. Sounds like yours is defective. BTW, did some long workshops this summer. did recharge during the lunch breaks. The battery seems to last about 7.5 hours.

I used regular batteries and have used for 3 nights - about 4 hours - in a row. still bright. no problems.

We got about 12 hours from rechargeable batteries. You will get more run time from regular batteries. It is a perfect light for the dinning table. We have two for larger groups at the table.

Yes I see no problem utilizing rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. Very useful light.

I've had my lamp for 6 months. I've never tested the battery for time duration, but it definitely longer than 2 hrs. If I use it a lot, I plug it up whether it needs it or not, just so I'll have it bright for the next use. Also pay attention to the recharge instructions. It's pretty tough, I use it for MIG welding as my shop isn't well lit and my vision isn't as good at 60 as it once was...HTH,Russ

I did not keep this light, sent it back because was not as bright as I wanted also work right, was a pile of junk, also got a Stanley rechargeable light also a pile of junk, I did keep this one at first worked very well but as time goes on the charge does not last very long, at first lasted about 1/2 hour on a full now after about 6 mos. it may last 10 mins. on a full charge. don't know what brand is the best on to get but if you can put out a little more money for one but not these two.good luck!!!from someone that learned the hard way!!!

It's kind of stupid that the product description doesn't say what kind of batteries. I had the exact same question when I was looking at this page. The manufacturer's website says CR2032, 1 each for the two lights, and battery lasts upto 100 hours. Manufacturer's website also says batteries are included, don't know if that is true with this amazon vendor though.

I've had a couple of these and even when new I don't get more than an hour out of a charge. Currently it's about 30-45 minutes. I've never found the batteries to replace the original and my belief is they aren't replaceable. I just buy another WLB26B since they are relatively cheap and I like them because of the light output.

My two lamps are still putting out enough light. I haven't replaces batteries yet.I recall seeing that the existing batteries were rechargeable batteries. They did not look any different from the ones that are at a local hardware store. I suggest taking the top off the lamp and removing the screws that hold the panel to the metal top. You should have easy access to the batteries. Good luck.Ric G
