How long do rechargeable batteries hold up? What type of rechargeable are you using? Do you know your batteries mAh rating?

I do not use rechargeable batteries, I use the regular alkaline type and get my 4-6 hours that I need out of them each time. I replace the batteries on the next gig in order to assure no surprises midway.

I'm happy with the: Tenergy TN141 2 Bay 9V Smart Charger with 2 pcs 9V 250mah NiMH Rechargeable Batteries I highly recommend also purchasing the battery tester. Simple to use : Promaster XtraPower Battery Tester

They take 9V batteries, in the transmitter/headsets. They don't last too long - and kids tend to forget to shut the unit off when they are done.

I sold this to one of the guys I work with some time ago. If I remember correctly a set of 2400mhr rechargeable batteries lasted about 8 hrs. it was about the same w/ the Harbor Freight cheapies.

its difficult to say how long batteries last, as it can be variable and dependent upon the number of shots requiring flash, the number of times you turn on-off the camera between shots, and the amount of focusing and telephoto activities. I do use rechargeable batteries (I'm currently using 4-year old 2450 mAH NiMH batteries and easily shoot 150+ pics). With good new batteries, one should get considerably more battery life!

I have had no problem with mine they still work or recharge well and hold a charge when not in use. I really haven't recharged them enough to know how long "Normal" would be.

I have one of these...use it daily & can expect about 6 months to a year from it before I have to charge the batteries.I use rechargeable batteries in mine.I believe the length of time it will last, depends on how often it is used, & what the quality of the batteries are.Example: Duracell bateries will outlast store brand name batteries by a long shot....

My experience is that they do not last "a year", but it's only 4 AAs. My rechargeable ones don't seem to last as long. If battery life is a concern, why not just plug it in?

It does not say that you can't use rechargeable batteries.....all it says or references is that you should not mix old and new batteries an/or standard and rechargeable batteries....You just helped me actually cuz I never thought of using rechargeable batteries...Good job!!! :)

I have had mine for a few weeks now and it is still going strong. I dont use it everyday. I havent checked the price of the batteries yet though.

I've been using rechargeable batteries since purchasing it about six months ago. Works great.

Hello, I can only say that I use a charger that is made only for mAh style batteries. I have not used the Energizer batteries but I think the Tenergy batteries are great, they seem to hold a charge for a long time and recharge very fast, been using these batteries for about a year now and love them.

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

They are not rechargeables. Not sure if they're used. I don't remember. It's been a while. I checked them on a battery tester and they have a full charge.

Oddly, these batteries remain on the list (as of Aug 1 2015) even after I've put a check in the "rechargeable" filter (to stop seeing non-rechargeables). They show up as "rechargeable" even though (based on the answers here) they almost certainly aren't rechargeable.

I have to admit that I bought the batteries for a tool for size. Forgot to check capacity but it looks like at least 1800 mah. Things have happened which has kept me from using the batteries. Sorry can't be more help. Price is right though

Yes, my batteries lasted a short time also. I purchased rechargeable ones & the charge has lasted so far 4 months.

The unit uses 2 six volt 4.5 amp hour recharagable batteries like this one:ExpertPower EXP645 6V 4.5 Amp Rechargeable BatteryThe batteries should last just about forever if you don't let them discharge fully. I think that you can get up to 6 hours use maximum, The longest I ever used mine was 4 hours. Just keep the batteries charges as per the instructions

Larry P. I've been using rechargeable batteries in this light ever since I've had it. No bad results so far-- Regards,Bill H.
