I've just opened the battery cover and retrieved a long blue/grey
battery cannister, inside of which is a green sealed battery unit.
The "4 AA nimh batteries" appear to be inside this unit. I'm loath to
open it. From all accounts the batteries should be Ok, just needing
charge.
quote from getting started manual which I've just downloaded:
The eMate comes with a battery that needs to be periodically
recharged. Normal
battery life is approximately 12 to 24 hours, depending upon usage.
Battery life is
shortened when you're doing things such as beaming and when you use
backlighting.
If you're using the eMate in a fixed location, you may want to use
the power adapter
with the eMate to prolong battery life. When the battery is plugged
into your eMate
the battery is automatically recharged.
and
The eMate comes with a battery pack of AA-size Nickel Metal Hydride
(NimH)
batteries that needs to be periodically recharged. Normal battery
usage is
approximately 12 to 24 hours, to automatically recharge the battery,
plug the power
adapter into a wall socket or Power strip, then Plug it into Your eMate.
