Your torch seems very similar to my Galvatron one SB.
All told after buying the recharable battery + charger and US to EU adaptor it cost about €70 and still working 5 years on.

Does yours take 3 x AAA batteries or the recharable battery or both ?
I have a spare accessory here that lets you use 3 x AAA batteries instead of the recharable battery if you want it ?
(The bad photo looks like it only takes 1 battery, but it actually takes 3 x AAA batteries).

I don't know how long the 3 x AAA batteries last, maybe Rat's or Octy or Korky might answer that as they all use the same torch on 3 x AAA batteries only.

I see it now in the photo on the OP,
it also has the exact same tube fer the rechargable battery as mine and all the others.

Octy, Rats, Korky, Etc. all got the real value at a Fiver a piece (Free as pressies) from the discount store.  lol
