should i use spare batteries or is it rechargeable?

The battery is rechargeable. I bought it a couple of years ago and did not use it too much, so I gave it to my brother. He loves it because you can film underwater, but to be honest it did not work out for me since there is NO DIFFERENCE between this camera and filming with your standard camera (in my case a Sony Cybershot). Hope my answer is useful to you! Regards from Argentina, Gabby

Just plug it in. You do not have to buy batteries. This is absolutely the best camera.

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

Batteries last quite a while actually. I never used rechargeables but you probably could. Great machine. always dig the nickels!!! I found gold rings that way!!!

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

It's best to use the rechargeable batteries because the battery life doesn't last that long.

Shari, to my knowledge you should be using regular batteries for this headlamp. I bought this headlamp a while ago and I have only used regular batteries, I have never recharged batteries for this headlamp.

We use Duracell batteries and have used it for several hours. We have not used rechargeable batteries with it.

funny question .) it seems to me that the batteries had to purchase separately. of course, I would recommend rechargeable. good luck!

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.

yes it does use rechargeable batteries but they don't seem to last as long as the standard ones. so if you have a recharger use it !

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.

You can use either alkaline AA batteries or rechargeable AA batteries. I prefer the rechargeable and always keep a couple of spare ones with me.

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

No, it doesn't come with rechargeable batteries. You use normal batteries. I think is better because you can have a couple of backup batteries

The included batteries are not rechargeable. The battery it shipped with has lasted me a a while, you may be able to use it for several month before you have to go out and buy any extra batteries (rechargeable or not)

No. You can use regular rechargeable batteries. Nice little kit though. Takes two AA batteries about 3 hours to recharge.
