For power the Actik Core comes with Petzl's Core rechargeable battery.

Battery Performance on Petzl Hybrid Torches

When using the Core battery Petzl's hybrid torches act like a regulated lamp giving you a constant light level for the specified burn time. When using AAA batteries the light will gradually dim, so despite the long burn times the light level is not constant and you're likely to want to change the batteries well before the given burn time is reached. The Core battery is more economical for frequent and intensive use but requires charging. The AAA batteries are better for occasional and less critical use.

If you think that you're unlikely to use the Core battery with this torch then you may want to consider the Actik which is doesn't include the Core battery.
