Can you change the AA batterys or re-charge your own AA -AAA batterys ?

This unit doesn't use or charge AA/AAA batteries. You can only charge your devices with these power packs. If you're looking to charge AA/AAA, look into GoalZero chargers. I own both Instapark & GoalZero - but - they are not comparable with each other for charging.

Naw the have battery cells that get charged to charge ur devices. Works really well. Its bigger then the goalzero too but cant rechatge ur aa/aaa bateries

You cannot change batteries on this unit without destroying it. If you're crafty you could charge your own rechargeable batteries with a solar panel, if that's what you're asking. Ultimately what you care about is how many mAh (milli amp hours) your batteries are rated for. This battery has a somewhat higher rating compared to smaller batteries, which is why it can charge two phones at once, or an iPad and a phone at once, but not two iPads. Higher mAh means longer life and will do a good job with iPads. Lower mAh values means longer charge time and shorter life. Some low end solar panels and batteries are ripoffs so spend more to get middle range stuff like this and avoid disappointment a month later. Like the battery. Don't like where the LED switch is cuz it accidentally gets turned on easily - not a big deal.

I use regular AA batteries, but only use my older version of the product. The new one seems to snag, thus my negative review.

You can actually purchase a battery charger from a store like Home Depot. We got ours for about $20. The AA batteries are in the cartridge (just pop the cartridge open) -- we've even replaced them with regular AAs while the rechargeable batteries were loading.

No. This can be a good thing though as you must have the charger with you and a place to plug into when a rechargable dies. With AA's though, you can get them any place and no waiting for them to charge or losing the charger or trying to find and outlet!

Yes, the batteries can be replaced. I believe it takes either two or three AA batteries.

The instructions say to only use the rechargeable battery that is included but I used regular batteries when it died one day and they worked fine. I only used them for a couple of hours then charged the unit again and have no problems since. I'm guessing you could also use any rechargeable AAA, but I've not had these long enough to run the included batteries out.

The charger is designed to charge both aa and aaa batteries, in multiples of two. I don't know for sure if you can comingle aa and aaa batteries for charging at the same time.

You can use any AA batteries in the keyboard, rechargeables or otherwise. Just don't plug in the charging cable if you are using non-rechargeable batteries. You might have an explosion. Just unscrew the screw from the battery compartment cover on the back to remove batteries. One battery has a sticky plastic strip partially holding it down. I cut it off with scissors and refined it with a utility knife. Now I can remove and replace my batteries with ease. Battery compartment cover is flimsy and a bit of a challenge to put back on, but nothing major.

No, the batteries I ordered are AA not AAA? My device uses AA, so not sure what your uses. These AAs are the same size as non rechargeable, so. I assume the AAAs will be the same

Yes you can replace the batteries. With daily use the rechargeable batteries have lasted over 3 yrs

Yes, you can charge any brand AA AAA rechargeable battery with this EBL® 808A Charger.

I have never tried to do that as I have a seperate charger for all my other batteries. Since this charger came with the batteries thats what I only use them for. You could try but I really dont know if it will have any bad effect on your AA batteries.

Yes you can. I just rotate my batteries so they are always charged. These batteries last longer than the battery that came with the camera. Very satisfied with my purchase!

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 you can. I am using Eneloop (low self-discharge) AA batteries inside size D plastic adapters (two AA batteries per one D adapter) and it works fine. The only inconvenience is that to charge the batteries I have to remove them out of the adapters. There do exist size D rechargeable batteries as well but I need batteries that can hold their charge even when they are not being used.

Just with the regular batteries. Haven't even tried it, and I think I've already disposed the AA battery adapter. Sorry couldn't help.

I have never had my batteries give me a problem nor have they ever ran a charge down. I do however believe you can replace them but if you have another problem like you didn't do a full charge before you ever used them, then I believe that would cause the charger to max out with less of a charge and never do a full one.
