.I have the tikka, and would advise using regular batteries. I had a pair of energizers that stayed in for a year in contrast to my sony rechargables which I have to keep swapping out (yes they are new). I've also found the beam isn't as strong as with the rechargable either

The newly updated Zipka 2 headlamp is compatible with lithium batteries which will last longer & reduce weight.

You can use rechargeable NIMH batteries but I don't find them to be as reliable in outdoor products, where you really need performance. You can use alkaline, but I prefer lithium even though Petzl doesn't recommend them. They produce .22 more volts than alkaline & heat up slightly over an extended period of time.

It uses batteries, AAA batteries. AAA batteries can be rechargeable, if you have rechargeable AAA batteries. You will not need rechargeable AAA batteries unless you will be using this every night for the next 3-5 months (or possibly longer depending on how long your nights are) and the very thought of throwing out spent AAA batteries is horrifying.
