The unit I received does not work as advertised with rechargeable batteries. Tried 4 sets of strong NiMH batteries with the same result: fluorescent tube flashes once then LED indicates battery error. Called company. The device requires 750mA constant current with a peak of possibly 900mA on bulb warm-up. HydroPhoto's claim of 200 uses on NiMH can not be typical. (You can do the math.) In my experience one use on rechargeables was not possible. I also suspect the reported numbers using Lithium batteries. It probably works fine (though I could not verify), but I'm not planning on buying lots of throw away batteries.
