You do charge it with the adapter....which has the batteries inside it. You only charge the adapter, but I'm sure we'll have to replace the batteries within eventually.

you can purchase a rechargeable battery pack for it ($40). or if you have rechargeable batteries and a charger you can use those batteries. Can not charge "regular" batteries.

This is totally rechargeable, just plug into the electric outlet and you are ready to go

We have the leap pad 2 and it works fine but I did have to return the first one because it didn't work. The second one did work and we haven't had a problem with it.

I don't think they sell it like that. You can use regular batteries but they die very very fast (2 hours maybe). Even the rechargable batteries from other companies die fast, but you can save money there. The recharging pack is all i've seen from LeapPad besides the adapter that you actually plug into the wall. They can't move around but it works if you are just sitting in one room.

The LeapPad2 will run through batteries quicker than most toys. This version of it does not come with the rechargeable battery pack. The rechargeable battery pack is a seperate accessory and from reviews it does not last long. What we found to be the easiest is to use rechargeable AA batteries when we are on the go and use the AC adapter (also a seperate accessory) for the house. That way the batteries will last much longer. You can find both the rechargeable battery pack and the AC adapter on amazon as well.

You need one of this item for it to work. Each of the two cylinders is the length of 2 AA batteries. And I may add that this was the best accessory ever for the leappad 2, which you probably know eats regular batteries like a monster. I hope this helps :)

Yes, leap pad 2 uses batteries like crazy, it's much easier to just plug it in when in use

Works with any rechargable batteries (like Duracell, Energizer), but does NOT have a rechargeable battery pack available that I know of (like the LeapPad does)

I have it located in the next room and do not seem to have a problem with. I don't use the Leapfrog very often... but its plugged in all the time...

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries; that is how we use ours. Most apps and games are geared to preschoolers and 1st graders. You can check the Demo site a leapfrog.com and see some video of apps.

They charge while in the leap pad... you can even play the leap pad while it's charging. The power button on the leap pad will light up orange while it's charging and turns off when charged. It actually charges fairly quick and the tablet seems to run a lot longer than with regular batteries. It was definitely worth the money spent!

I'm sorry to say it only comes assuming you will travel with it, so there is no AC adapter. You can purchase a universal adapter but I kept getting a funny sound when I used it. So, I only use it with triple A batteries. Hope this helps. Deric

Are you changing disposable batteries or installing the charger pack? The charger looks a little intimidating at first, but it's a snap. Use a screwdriver to remove the covers on the back of the leap pad, then just follow the directional arrows to put in the two cylinder-shaped battery replacements. Replace the covers, then plug in the A/C adapter to the unit and an outlet. It takes a while to charge. The orange light turns off when it's done. Unplug it and you're good to go. The charge lasts for hours. Hope this answers your question.

I have the LeapPad2 and it works great. Just have to plug it in and it charges. I would assume it would work with both models as mine is from last Christmas. My batteries went quick too. You can call Leappad and ask them direct - they were great when I had questions and when my screen cracked after the first week they replaced the whole thing and I bought mine thru Amazon.

I'm not sure if an ac adapter is available. It is intended to work with batteries. Two double A's last a long time with LED. An ac cable would probably be awkward.

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter

I am using a 9v 300mA adapter on my son's leap pad. So as far as I can say, anything 300mA or above will work. I initially wanted to get a 1000mA adapter but got this one by accident, and it works fine.

Have to have a way to charge the battery - - I bought extra battery from ebay. I found it easier to find another whole unit WITH battery charger for about the same price listed as charger. Fisher-Price discontinued that toy about 5 years ago and new chargers are not available. Design has it so no two such toys will have interchangeable charger. We entertained a lot of elderly people in a senior building. No one had ever seen this toy and thoroughly enjoyed it. After we tired of it, I gave it to a kid. Enjoy.
