Rechargeable Batteries

So far, nothing but good things to say about the headlamp. Outperformed all of my friends' lamps while hiking and working outside at night. Buttons are a bit difficult to use, so I agree with the other folks on here about that.
As a heads up though, its awful hard to find the rechargeable batteries that fit this model. I found some (and a link on the same site to the charging stand) at http://www.atbatt.com/product/19740.asp .... Yeah, they're expensive, but so are the regular batteries if you're using them a lot. Then you can get all those batteries in a landfill off your green conscious.
