Can I use regular Rayovac AA batteries until I can get some AA rechargeable batteries? Because I just got the lights and they don't stay on all night.

The time the lights remain lighted is determined by how much direct sunlight they receive. We get nearly 8 hrs of illumination from our lamps which are in direct sunlight all day long and four hours illumination from those lamps which are partially shaded. Using alternate batteries is possible, but you would have to acquire a battery holder and solder its wires to internal connection on the lamps electric module. This requires opening up the module to add remote battery wires - this would be a high risk modification and would require finesse. I recommend against this modification.

Yes AA should fit. I've thought about replacing my batteries with newer batteries.

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

Hi there - not sure. We used the batteries that came with the lights and no issues for us, but we don't need them to stay on all night.

I use AAA rechargeable batteries. Use the flashlight numerous times every day. Don't have any idea how much actual on time tho. I normally charge the battery's once a week. Great light for my frequent use.

Send it back while you can. The batteries are expensive, not good for much else, and my light fried after a couple of months. I bought a Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen headlight found elsewhere on Amazon. It uses good old AA batteries, provides plenty of light, and has been going strong since the first week in Sept. My son also has one of these headlights and we use them on a daily basis.

They take rechargeable AA. Not that it matters. I replaced them thinking cheap factory batteries might be the issue. Nope. The units in my opinion are just junk, plain and simple.

I would say yes I use thesis batteries in all my light that use CR123A batteries like Surefire,Streamlight, The only thing I will warn you about is when the batteries power is getting low it has be my experience that the light will just shut off and not dim out scared the hell out of me the first time it happen but out side of that I like them and only use these batteries way cheaper then buying two new ones every time they die.

Considered buying those as well. What's nice is you can get AA and AAA batteries on the Rayovac charger. (For your controller and headset, if you use one). However the base is awesome because you simply set the controller on the dock when not playing & it is always charged. Haven't had a battery issue in the 2 or so weeks I've had it.

Yes you can use the higher mAh batteries as long as they are 1.2V and the batteries are the same size. The higher mAh will just have allow for the lights to stay on.

I use Duracell Rechargeable Batteries in my lights. The light that gets the heaviest use because the dog sets it off at night all the time lasted about 3 months. The other light that just gets normal use still has the original batteries after 4 months now.

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 .

i have rayovac rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. it charges the AA batteries. but it does not charge the AAA. the green lights blink, which means that there is a problem.i have a rayovac charger. it charges the AAA batteries. so, it's not the batteries.

I did not have success with them, only temporarily. Due to higher voltage, 4.2 Volts, they have a regulator that cuts off when ever he wants and your flashlight will go dark, even do the voltage will read 3.2 on the voltmeter.I used them in a NOVA flashlight. Rechargeable batteries made 2 or more years ago with different technology worked fine, and their initial voltage after charging was 3.2 V. Honestly I don't know what are this batteries for, I will not risk an electronic devise with them. I am an electronics engineer. Sorry Tenergy.

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

The lights take a special rechargable battery that I have never seen before. It is a 18650 that is a little larger than a AA, and does not require a holder. Kind of a pain, but certainly worth it.Good luck!!

The rechargeable batteries are in there already - just charge it up and start using. I don't have regular batteries in it. Great lantern!

You should be able to use batteries since these only work with dc voltage which is the type of current batteries have. You will need a lot of double AAs since you need 36 watts and that would probably not last long anyway. If you need to use batteries, your best bet would be a car battery, it is 12 Volts and will last you much much longer and you can recharge it.

Yes, they are AA like any other, Not rechargeable so you can use them in anything that takes a normal battery. They will just last a lot longer. Hope that helps.

We use rechargeable AAA batteries with no problems. Makes sense to us because regular batteries won't last very long and will be expensive for you. We've had our set for almost a year and "knock on wood" they work just fine with the rechargeables.
