can you also use AA batteries to power these radios?

This series of radio operates with either 4 AA alkaline batteries or an optional NIMH pack.

It came with 4 rechargeable batteries, but it has the option of using regular AA batteries. The charge also lasts a very long time.

Yes. I use the rechargeable batteries as the primary power source and carry some AAs as a backup.

It does not ship with a rechargeable power source. You can use rechargeable "AA" batteries in the radio and they will recharge if given an external charger (not provided) like a USB-based cell phone charger. You will need a standard mini-USB (not micro) cable.

The radio takes 4 each of the AA size batteries or you can use it plugged in. We like the sound quality of the radio.

there is a rechargeable battery that comes with the radio. you charge it on the base that the radios are sitting on in the picture. there is an adaptor that you can buy to make it use regular batteries if thats what you want to do.

No nned for AA batteries. The flashlight has built in rechargable batteries. Just turning the handle charges the batteries.

Yes you can. They are much better because they are 5 watt radios. Rule of thumb is 1/2 a mile per watt with UHF radios. all depends in terrain as well. well worth the money

Yes you can as long as the amp output is high enough. But you are able to connect easily to the terminal posts of these batteries.

Yes, so long as the radio itself is plugged into power. The outlets don't produce AC power from a battery.

they are not aa batteries. they are larger than that, more like the cr123a batteries in cameras and some garage door openers.

The radio is not designed to charge batteries internally. An alterative would be to have twelve batteries on hand. When the six battries in use show signs of weakening, they can be put into an external charger and be replaced with the other six batteries on hand. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

If you mean can you charge batteries other than the ones in the radio itself then the answer would be no. It doesn't have the capacity to produce that much power.

The radio can run on AC adapter (not included). Not sure if this will recharge the batteries.

You use the crank or solar energy to power everything, I don't think the radio uses batteries at all. Good question!

Yes, this can run on regular batteries - 3 pieces of AA batteries. However, do note that the regular batteries power only the radio.

Yes, you can put the regular AA batteries in them. The batteries that come with the unit are the same size as AA. However, I was impressed as to how long the rechargeable batteries that come with the unit lasts. It seemed to last at least 10 to 12 hours if you did not talk on them all the time.
