Rechargable batteries in a Kidizoom camera? Has anyone used rechargables in theirs?

Hi, I use rechargables. I have to recharge the batteries almost every night, but they are old batteries and I have a daycare so the camera is on all day. I say go for rechargables!

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries, I use them. I have a 4sd card but an 8 should work

I've only used disposable, so I can't compare. I do now remove the batteries when I'm not using the camera. Just started that so I don't know if the batteries will last longer, but I hope so, because they weren't lasting very long keeping them in the camera. How do the rechargeable work?

I use such a pack to power the camera for long filming sessions (4+hrs) since the internal batteries have such poor duration. I expect you could recharge the batteries too. BTW, DON'T buy off brand batteries -- they are junk, don't last even 50% of expected time.

You can charge the batteries whenever you choose. I usually do it when the camera shows 1 bar (out of 3). I don't think there is a loss of capacity from recharging a non-drained battery, but I don't know. I have used these batteries for about a year, taken more than a thousand pictures, and have not noticed any loss of battery charge duration. But this is anecdotal - not something I have tested for.

Batteries. I use rechargeable batteries but have to recharge them external from the camera.

Only had this one for 6 months (also bought one for Grandaughter at same time)and not sure how long batteries last but they are rechargable and take the greatest pictyres. Both very happy with camera.

I used the expensive energizer batteries. The ones that cost like $10-$15. They lasted me a long time even if I'm turning the camera on and off and adjusting settings. I had a set for about a month or two, using them for birthdays and Christmas. I take photos of my kids and those batteries really held up in that camera.

Yes, actually I use rechargeable batteries AA. I have two brands, phillips and sony, and Sony batteries work much more better. If you use Sony batteries around 2000 mAh (I think mine are 2100) camara will last a long long time. Sony charger worked excellent with sony and other brands batteries. Besides that, this canon take good pictures with the right day light, not at noght (like most of its kind), and flash consumes a lot of battery and takes some time to recharge after the light. But for the price, is great. The optical zoom is good, the digital is not. And finally, it has also manual settings.

It uses AA batteries. I have used both regular AA batteries and the rechargeable AA batteries. The rechargeable AA work very well with this camera. However, it is a good idea to either pull the batteries or flip one around the wrong way when not in use or I have found it will run the battery down just sitting there. Hope this helps!

No, whenever I give my grandchildren toys that requires batteries, I supply batteries for it. I gave them Duracell batteries. I don't know know if you can use rechargeable batteries in the toy, but if you can I know they will use them after my batteries are gone. My son has rechargeable batteries / system...with 3 boys that's the way they keep their toys working.

No, the camera has a rechargeable battery. That is the only thing you can use for it.

The cameras I bought take 4 x AA batteries, I use re-chargeable NiMiH types. They work perfectly.

Use 2 AAA batteries. Although I haven't used rechargeable ones I don't know why they wouldn't work. They will not last long. I always keep an extra set with the camera.

Yes, This is rechargeable. Worked in my Kodak easy share digital camera. I fully charged and used at christmas and birthday parties. Still charged, but haven't used all the time. occasionally. Just what I was looking for. Happy with.

I have the same camera and this battery works just fine. You can also use plain old AA batteries in it but just don't try to charge them. This battery pack is made up of two AA rechargeable batteries.

I ALWAYS use lithium batteries in mine. I do NOT ever use rechargable ones. Right now I am using 'regular' batteries since my batteries died while we were away at a graduation. I will use them until they die and go back to the Lithium. Also, I have had to take my batteries out totally and reinsert (in short - reboot) but it was because I did NOT want it on video and had hit the button in error. I am wondering if it could be your camera.... It would be worth a try just to use a different type battery and if it still gets hot and stops working, send it back.
