If it's like the rechargeable flashlight from Costco and I bet it is.
It has a rechargeable battery about the size of a penny. Sourced
online it was $5 for a sample. It was one of a pair of flashlights and
the one left in the hot car trunk (Hawaii) failed quicker.

Beware. I have one of the shake to charge flashlights, which
doesn't put out that much light, but which stores nicely in the car.

A friend picked up another a year or two later from the same
hamfest, and that one was bogus. It had a coin cell in it. The moving
"magnet" was not even magnetic. :-)

So -- he just changes the coin cell from time to time. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
