NiMh.

But I think the point was whether the phone uses a battery pack, or just
regular off the shelf AA cells.

The former, you either need to put togehter a replacement pack, or buy
one, which can be expensive. If the latter, jsut about any AA will work
so you have options if there is a problem.

There does seem to be a move to regular AA cells (though obviously in the
form of nimh), which certainly makes the phones more useful.
