do i have to buy a charger for the Ni-MH batteries

No. The phone base/stand that comes with the phone is the charger. Plug it into an outlet and the batteries charge whenever the phone is in the base.

The phone comes with two AA batteries that can be purchased either in a local store or online. Phone is charged when in holder. The only problem I had was finding batteries for the original Panasonic talking phone that I had for 20 years! Comments in favor of these phones are that they come with batteries that are easy to find to purchase. I believe instructions say you can use the phone for about 5 hours before needing to recharge it in the holder. Hope this answers your question!

NO! Your batteries are lithium Ion and most probably need a special charger. The La Cross chargers are designed for NiCd and NiMH rechargable batteries only. The user manual is very emphatic about this, on page 4, warning against modification of the charger for any battery not NiCd or NiMH. Lithiums follow different charging cycles, and need their own type of charger.

NO This is a ni-cad battery It will require charger#570039 unlike 691235.my advise would be always make sure you are using battery and charger that is compatible with your equipment. One important note , always time the charging on these not to exceed the time max outlined in your owners manual. (around 3 hrs. ) as the are not automatic You may need to research further to assure you are not damaging your tools or creating unsafe conditions.

Short answer, yes. Long answer is NI-MH is a newer type of battery make up that can hold power longer than the older Ni-cd batteries.

The short answer is yes, they work fine. A lithium-ion battery does require it's own charger, but in the case of my Craftsman powered tools the lithium-ion charger will also recharge the conventional ni-cads.

The standard charger is designed for nickel cadium batteries, No problem , Lithium ion might have issues

It does not come with a charger. You need to already have a charger for ion lithium batteries or it wont charge at all, even on the old style charger. I had to buy a new charger for this batter from Lowes. com and luckily it will charge my old nickel batteries and the new ion battery.

Are these batteries similar to Ni-MH or lithium batteries? I need Ni-MH or lithium. The item description only says the charger will charge Ni-MH, it doesn't say if the ones includes are Ni-MH.

Edward Shimkus' answer is right on target. I have yet to even charge the supplied Sony Ni-MH batteries included with the charger. However, I have recharged a number of times some old Duracell (2650mAh-not high capacity version) Ni-MH batteries with excellent results, including using the "refresh" function provided by the device. I'm very satisfied with this device and feel it is well worth the price.

You will need the charger for lithium batteries. The NICAD charger will not work with the lithium batteries, however, the lithium charger will charge both batteries.

Since I don't know which charger your "old" one is, it's hard to say. However, you need a compatible charger for Li-ion batteries. The one I bought was backward compatible. It will charge LI-ion and Ni-Cad, but the Ni-Cad charger that came with my original 18 volt Ni-Cad set won't charge Li-ion batteries, or at least that's what I was told. The Li-ion batteries are much better than the Ni-Cads, which were so bad Milwaukee should have replaced them for free. I was so disappointed that I may not buy a Milwaukee product again.

I don't know, but I use the Maha charger to recharge these batteries. You could contact Radio Shack and ask them regarding their charger.

No, but if you search on Amazon you can get a battery/charger combination package and then only need to buy batteries, Cheers Barb & Kit.

Probably a standard NIMH recharger. You can buy them for $5 and up -- I have a $40 one. The more expensive ones make your batteries last longer.

No, you have not to buy the charger. However, my Roomba stopped working, I bought and changed the battery and it is still not working.

We already had one for our other Makita products, screw guns, etc. so we just use those. I imagine you could buy just a battery and charger at Home Depot or even on Amazon.

The primary problem is that NiMH batteries do not like to be force-fed/overcharged, and that is exactly what NiCd "low-end" chargers do: they are basically constant-current "trickle" chargers (low current, takes many hours to charge, then keep feeding this same charging current even after the NiCd is fully charged). NiCd batteries just shrug off this excess charging current, but it will eventually "cook" your NiMHs. That said, NiMH will pack much more punch into given size...so if you don't leave it on constant charge (drain it, charge it overnight, then unplug it once "properly" charged) it should work quite well. Of course if you ditch the crappy little wallwart "charger" and hook it up to a proper NiMH charger, it'll work Great!
