does this have a wet cell battery in it?

'Non-spillable' is printed on the outside of the battery. It's a sealed type.

I'm not sure. It is a sealed battery, like the ones you would find in back-up emergency lighting.

I'm not sure if it's a wet cell or glass mat. I'm pretty sure it is a wet cell. There are no provisions to service it, also, regardless of the position it's sealed so it will not leak. I find it trouble free. However a call to the mfgr would give a better answer if you need it.

Yes. Mine did. My battery did'nt keep a charge very long at first, but it seems to be lasting longer now

No, but it has a user-replaceable 9 volt lithium battery. I really like this unit. I bought it for rock hounding and it has been invaluable in the field.

yes, the battery I received had some charge. It did not take very long to charge it fully.

No and the item is not all that great. Mine didn't work after 1 month of use since the battery would not stay charged.

I haven't tried it, but judging by the ones I have I would say no. Batteries would get wet

No it does not. This was a terrible purchase, this battery does not last for two hours. I should have sent it back but I discarded my old one and now I am stuck!

No. The white container pictured behind the battery is liquid acid that needs to be poured into the battery to activate it.

NO. This is a carbon cell battery, designed for low drain over extended periods.

It is practically impossible to find a battery that needs the water checked, anymore... But for this model it is gel so adding water is the LAST thing you want to do! ;) (It'll make a huge mess when it expands)

Yes, but a cheap one. I upgraded and added a 2nd battery. Very fast & very happy!

No, but had the battery for about a month And the battery just died wouldn't take a charge. I went out and bought a anker battery, it works great

Yes, it has it's own internal battery. As far as a complimentary, back-up battery, No it does not. That would be nice, and a very good selling point.

Yes it does but I recommend purchasing a second battery for when you have a large job to do and the first one needs to me recharged. I bought this for my husband and he loves it! Has good suction and is easy to operate and stow. I would also buy the lithium batteries that hold a longer charge. They may cost more but are well worth it. I hope this helps.

I believe this is a sealed lead-acid battery, which would leave me be believe that it contains electrolytic plates and some form of fluid (water most likely). A dry cell, by definition, has all the required constituent components in the form of a paste, like the standard AA, C, or D cells used in flashlights and what not. Either way, the battery is sealed and requires no maintenance. It will work to power a light bulb. However, it is also designed to be rechargeable, this would be a very expensive 'disposable' battery.

It was a AA battery. I put it outside hooked up to my water barrel and it waters every day like clock work :-) a great product for something simple.

No, it does not. And my battery is almost dead (as in, not charging much at all) after 1.5 Years of moderate use.
