Does anyone know if this has any additional benefit to just buying

Does anyone know if this has any additional benefit to just buying 4 rechargeable AAA (increase runtime, decreased wieght, etc.) Also, what it the charge time?

It takes 7-8 hours to charge it fully, going from 0 charge to a full charge. It takes less time if it is already partially charged. Rechargables are a good option too, though also fairly expensive. I inevitably lose 1 of the set of 4 rechargable AAA's, so for me the NRG2 makes sense.

The benefit is that you don't have to keep buying AAA batteries, but there's no weight difference and I haven't noticed a difference in runtime either, so if you buy rechargeables it shouldn't make a difference.

The price of 4 AAA batteries is around $5. This is around $30. So if you use this to the equivalent of 6 sets of batteries, you actually start making money!

Ok not really, but you are saving money, and you never have to worry about batteries for your Orbit ever again. Less cardboard and plastic packaging, less waste in landfills, etc. Like the Orbit itself, this is an awesome little product. You just need to decide if you use your Orbit enough to make it worth it.

BD's website instructions (http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/uploads/black-diamond/files/MM6017_B%20NRG%20IS_WEB.pdf) doesn't mention the power compatibility, but at the first glance at the picture I see interchangeable plugs for countries that provide 240VAC power through wall sockets. Without tech specs to support it, I'd feel safe plugging it into 240. Although you can always order it and read the plug itself, and return it if it doesn't support 240. Gotta love Back Country's policies for things like that.
