Look up Tesoro on the internet, click on accessories, or give them a call.

Welcome from Virginia.
The folllowing is from Tesoro's website FAQ. BATTERIES Are rechargeable batteries better than alkalines? There are two aspects of rechargeable batteries to consider. The first is cost. Rechargeables are quite a bit more expensive than regular batteries, but the cost is offset so that you will not have to buy them as often. The second consideration for rechargeable batteries is the voltage. Most rechargeables have slightly lower voltage than their counterparts. Alkaline batteries have a voltage of 1.5 volts per AA cell. Most rechargeable batteries have a voltage of around 1.2 volts per AA cell. If your detector uses 8 AAs, you will have 12 volts with the alkalines and roughly 9.6 volts with the rechargeables. This should not affect your depth and sensitivity, it but will affect the time that you are able to hunt. http://www.tesoro.com/info/faq/generaldetecting/ __________________

I have a set of 8 Ray-o-vac rechargable alkalines I have used for the past 8 years and they will charge a bit over 1.6. I have used them in my extra battery pack and when used go as long as the alkaline.
I am really supprised they are still going, and going as well as when I bought them. They are expensive and you need the charger but I really cant complain after so long. __________________

Welcome to our detecting family. If you go with rechargable batteries, get the highest mAh rating that you can get. That will equate to longer hunting time between charges. It will save quite a bit of money in the long run.
