Can I use standard Duracell AA batteries to power this unit?

No - it runs on a different size battery. AND DON'T BUY IT - the flashlight, batteries and charger I bought were all defective and I returned them. Get the Fenix which runs on AA batteries and get the high output rechargeables made by Sanyo.

No. The site suggested "additional items" includes the required batteries. These units require the 3.7V 18650 batteries that are a little bigger than a AA battery. The 18650 battery size actually comes in multiple voltage options so be careful what you order. The 3.7V is best but watch out for the lower voltage batteries. All of them should be rechargable. My batteries hold a charge for quite a while. Hope this helps.

No, but you can use the CR123A, just don't use more than 3, and of course the 18650, and 3 of them as well.

Without some sort of adapter (I have one flashlight that comes with an adapter but I believe it is for AAA's there is no way.

No, it's a different size. The batteries are specially made for the flashlight.

No, this flashlight only accepts 18650 style rechargeable batteries. By adding or removing an extension to the flashlight, it can be powered by either 2 or 3 of these batteries.

RZC, the responsibility is yours to evaluate the specifications and capabilities of the "duracell charger". Can it charge AA NiMH batteries?

It's a AA battery. So no, unless you have your own rechargeable AA battery.

The simple answer is yes, but the batteries are junky and not worth the money. Find the ones for Duracell and they are better.

Yes you can. I bought two of these lighting systems and both are being run with rechargeable batteries. It doesn't have any special battery size, just uses 3 AA batteries.

Not sure but we've been using regular Duracell D batteries with no problems. It's a great little radio.

No. These are only the batteries that you would use with the duracell charger.

I am not sure about Lithium batteries however, for my use I have found that the Duracell brand outlast the Energizer brand

Yes. It depend on the rechargeable battery type. even though most modern rechargeable batteries have long shelf life span, some loose power faster when not powering anything. I guess you do not want to keep on changing batteries. I used normal Duracell batteries on this and it last more than 6 month now (through out the winter) and still running. But if you have a rechargeable batteries with long "shelf life", you can use them.

You can, it will not fry the batteries. It will only charge the batter if it needs charging.

You did not say what batteries or charger you are using so it's impossible to tell why you are having trouble. I use NiMH rechargeables. The silver Energizer's seem to last longer than Duracell's but both will power the unit for a day's use.

No. I use it with my 14w anker solar panel to recharge the batteries. Any rechargeable AA or AAA battery will also work.

If your unit comes with the 18650 Battery, then no. If it comes with the 14500 battery, then yes you can use AA batteries. The light will be not as bright 1.5 volts ver 3.7 volts. but the light is still good.

It can use rechargeable 9 volt battery just as any device using normal Duracell AA battery can also use rechargeable AA cells.

I'm using a basic generic charger to recharge, Enloop, Duracell, Failsafe and Energizer batteries and never had a issue. I can't say whether a Duracell charger is going to definitely work, since I don't use one. If in doubt try charging a pair of Enloops and see what happens.

I use AA Duracell Ultra. I have no idea if they will accept rechargeable. BTW, I will soon order another transmitter because they have worked so well

Yes, Anything from Duracell is 100% Duralock Technology. I have own these batteries for years now and their hold charge for long time. If you plan on buying make sure to get changer as well from Duralock. I hope I was able to give you helping hand. :)
