Can NiCad D-Cell batteries that are inserted into it be recharged in the lantern?

I put Nicad D' in, and use a online hack to get the panel to charge them as well. It violates your warranty, but worth it when ya need a lantern.

I don't believe so. The rechargeable battery is in a separate compartment and that one gets charged using the solar panel. The D-cell batteries just power the lantern and are not hooked to the solar circuit.

No. the only batteries I see are for the battery operation feature, but there is a solar panel but I don't see any or haven't bought rechargable batteries. The lantern was working straignt out of the box.

Any charger that will charge basic NiCad batteries will also charge the nickel metal hydride batteries. However, I have not had good luck with Amazon AA rechargable batteries.

I see no reason why you could not use rechargeable batteries in this lantern; however, I do not find a way to recharge those batteries while they are in the lantern. You'll have to remove them to recharge.

No. This battery consists of 5 rechargeable NiMH cells producing 6 volts when charged. Although the total length of the 5 cells is the same as 3 D cells (4.5 volts total) the extra 1.5 volts in the NiMH battery stick will blow the bulb in the 3D Maglite. Besides, short of recharging it in a Magcharger unit, there is no practical way to charge the NiMH battery when it goes flat.

Absolutely not..............unless you want to ruin the recharger. This charger is (as it's instructions state) only for the recharging of NiCad and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

No, you need to either buy some D cells and/or the rechargeable battery pack for it to work. Depends on how much you're going to use it. I normally prefer a rechargeable solution, but the alkalines last quite a while with the LED bulb, so I'm trying the disposal route initially. The Coleman pack does fit other Coleman devices, so you might want to look at what else you can use it with before you decide. It is a very nice light.

NiCd - they work better in low discharge situations like with solar lights. Plus it's always best to used the type of battery that was in the light before.

Sorry, the answer is NO because: The housing base of NiCad battery insert into the drill tool is different style with the Lithium Ion battery.

Hi there is a switch inside the battery compartment, if that switch is set to the Nicad position and you put rechargeable cells in the unit they will be recharged with a quite sophisticated charger that does not overcharge or damage the battery. Hans. J Weedon.

This lantern came with 4 D batteries, however, the standard 6 volt battery would work.

I believe just uses the regular batteries or perhaps could use rechargeable batteries but does not charge the batteries, nor a usb. a simple lamp that works for our purposes very well. great for camping too.

Yes, as long as the batteries are AA or AAA NickelMetalHydride (NiMH).Do not put there NiCd, LiIon, Alkalines, or any other type of battery, just NiMH

I got these for solar LED lanterns. The original battery was soldered into the board - I removed it put this battery in it's place and it charges with the solar cell mounted on top. sometimes it charges fine - but has to be very sunny. You may be able to charge it using a AA/AAA charger and a copper wire taped to the contacts - but I'm not sure if that would work.

Yes, I use my cell phone charger that is plugged into the house current to recharge the lantern.

I cannot say for certain as I do not have one, but if it's anything like any other item with a NiCad battery, it does not come charged.

The rechargeable battery is built in so the whole unit would have to be replaced. The lantern comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
