Will this radio recharge batteries? The PL-360 does, I would think this one does as well.

Yes it does. However, you need to tell the radio what mAh capacity batteries you've installed. With the radio off press "System Set", then "28", turn the tuning dial to the mAh of the batteries, then "System Set" again. Now you're ready to charge. BTW - this only needs to be done once as long as you keep the same batteries installed or replace with the same mAh capacity.

Yes it does. I use rechargeable NiMH 2400 ma batteries and charge outside of the radio. There is a setting in the radio menu for alkaline or NiMH batteries

Unfortunately no, it is not rechargable. Look at it like a modern day boom box. Batteries in, batteries out.

The unit has 4 AA batteries that will work for several days. It comes with a wall transformer providing 5.9 volts to a concentric plug on the rear of the radio, Using a concentric plug and cord any source of 5.9 volts would run the unit.

Sorry to hijack your question but read all of the negative reviews and take them to heart. This radio is a disappointment, has glitches, and is unreliable. It also eats batteries.

yes it does use rechargeable batteries but they don't seem to last as long as the standard ones. so if you have a recharger use it !

Yes, you can change batteries in the radio. Did I say you can "charge batteries" WITH-IN the radio? (Must be the glasses. I read it wrongly.) NO! You cannot charge batteries "WITH-IN" the radio. I recommend using alkaline d-cell batteries. All the same brand and replace the batteries as needed.

Yes, if the batteries are inserted and cut off the supply of electricity, the radio will be powered by batteries.

No, in fact this radio lasts so long with one set of batteries is unbelieveable. That is why we have bought two already and I am ordering three more, one for each of my sons for Christmas. They won't have to borrow mine anymore for those camping trips.

This Crosley CR3009A-BK iSolo Radio does not operate on batteries. It would need to be plugged into an AC wall outlet.

The Makita radio does not charge the battery. It will charge your iphone or ipod. I wish it did. As far as I know the only radio that charges batteries is the dewalt. I think their patent is still in effect. I've had 2 of those. They stink. all you hear is static while it charges. I like the Makita radio, it sounds great. The only problem so far is the cover over the ipod dock broke off.

No. But the batteries last a really long time. This is the best pocket-sized radio I have ever owned.

According to the manual, the AC adapter only supplies power to the radio. It can switch from AC to batteries, but says nothing about recharging, or rechargeable batteries.

No it doesn't so I use rechargeable batteries and have extras just in case. I love this weather radio! Just make sure you charge it from the units jack and not from the base. Our base doesn't work right but charging into the hand held works great for me. I hope this helps.

No the radio does not charge the battery. You can use the USB cable and attache to a computer, or an MP3 charger, etc. I use the charger that came with my Garmin GPS, in the house or in the car. As long as the cables attache correctly U R OK .

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.
