Does this work with rechargeable AAs?

Yes, double A's, rechargeable or regular batts. In fact I am going to buy another one.

Yes this charger works with 8 AA batteries and it works great! Speeds up recycle time tremendously and lasts all day. Trust me, I purchased 3 so far and put them through some intense wedding work and they kept me shooting all day and night. I will caution, the cord entering the plastic case has shorted on one of my units but that's my fault for toss and go treatment. (I do a lot of multi location stuff). But that was after my first year of owning it so it has long since paid for itself many times over. So i'd say GET ONE for every 580exii's you have if you can. Oh... also some older models, the battery leads would suppress over time and the batteries wouldn't make contact until I gently re-bent them out. Ultimately, I took heat glue and put a glob behind each lead so it wouldn't do that any longer. But when I purchased my two newer ones, they re worked that differently so I don't have that problem either. So again... Get it :) Todd E. www.Toddemedia.com

Yes. For my opinion, it is better to use rechargeable AA than regular AA battery. It last longer than regular batteries.

Yes. I haven't bought the correct rechargeable yet and still use AA but it has battery indicator only and not time left. 3 rounds on regular batteries. However it is really simple and very accurate. Just need to position the flag and look at the distance. No time wasted.

I have only charged AA batteries and it does great with those. I have not tried AAA batteries yet.

You can't use regular alkaline AAs but you can use regular AA rechargeable batteries that are Nickel Metal-Hydrate. Duracell and Energizer sell those.And the unit comes with a cord to charge the batteries from a USB. Can't charge them with a wall outlet unless a cell phone charger that has USB is used.

I've never tried a AA battery but I can tell you the battery this comes with is nearly twice and size as far as thickness goes and about 20% longer so not sure a AA would work. The battery this calls for is an 18650. You can find them for around $10-$15 for 2 plus a charger (since they are rechargeable). Much better value than a AA anyway. Even if your AA are rechargeable they won't hold as much power as these. Hope this helps.

No, it won't. You can use only 1.2-1.5V AA rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries.

Yes, it will charge any AA or AAA sized NiMH or NiCad rechargeable battery.

Yes for the rechargeable batteries but it can run on regular AA batteries as well

Sorry, we have only used AA rechargeables in this unit. Not sure if Li-ion would work in this.

You can use this item for any rechargeable AA or AAA batteries that needs recharging, whether there are fully discharged or otherwise. Does it quickly as well.

I can tell you from experience that rechargeable batteries do NOT work. It takes only standard AA alkaline batteries only. The manual will not tell you this, 'Kevin' the support guy from India will not tell you this, but it is true.

No it does not. It has 2 C-sized and 2 D-sized adapters, however, which allow you to use the AA's in the C and D sized battery compartments. They are effectively just hollow inserts that hold a single AA cell and allow the terminals to be exposed top and bottom. I've not tried them, but they look like they would work, but of course you're getting AA capacity, not the full C or D-size capacity, if that makes sense. But that is just my impression, as I have not tried them.

Yes, You can use AA batteries but make sure they are lithieum or they will not last long. The re-charge batteries are the best.

4 AA's, yes, I use a recharger; I bought it at Harbor freight - model V-1199. Hope that helps.

It takes standard AA's. Yes, it does fine with rechargeable NiMH's. It also has its seperate own built-in internal battery, which is what you are charging when you turn the crank or plug it into a car's 12 volt cigarette-lighter plug.
