can I use any rechargeable AA batteries or do I have to use the iGogreen batteries?

I'll agree with the consensus.I cannot confirm or deny compatibility with the very old NiCd batteries, and in fact do not recommend it, but I can confirm by experience that NiMH - both "standard" and "long shelf life/pre-charged" - and the iGo batteries both work in this charger.

You can charge any rechargeable alkaline or NiMH batteries; not just the iGogreen one

I believe you can use any AA chargeable batteries. The charger shown here will charge NiMhydride AA batteries.

Melissa,Happy New Year, & the answer to your ? is that I only use the iGogreen Energy batteries. I litteraly only use those & I'm very pleased with them. It's been over a year since I've first started & I'll never go back. Hey, you can always try or call/email the Co. !

It uses replaceable AA cells. I think they recommend rechargeables. I don't remember seeing an indication. I'll look when I get back on Thursday and respond again.

They take rechargeable AA. Not that it matters. I replaced them thinking cheap factory batteries might be the issue. Nope. The units in my opinion are just junk, plain and simple.

No, you can use either a lithium rechargeable 18650 battery or the old-skool 2 cr123a's. the single battery is a superior and cost effective option. It has a killer runtime and 12.4 watt hours capacity-about the same as four rechargeable AA's. CR123 is a thing of the past with the awesome new lithiums.

Uses AA batteries. You can buy the rechargeable ones, and use. Just get them recharged after each use.

I don't think rechargeable batteries are recommended for use in this unit. I buy the big pack of alkaline AA batteries at Sams or Costco to reduce cost and save spent batteries to be taken for recycling during our haz waste day. Great little unit for the $$

I'm sure you can use rechargeable batteries as long as they are correct size. I use mine for a while and due to climate and salt water air exposure, I remove the batteries when it's not in use. battery bleeding acid will corrode the connections. You don't want to leave batteries unattended in any unit for too long.

I use the rechargeable Eneloop AA batteries in everything in my home & have no problems with them. They work fine in my detectors that take AA size.

For anything using AA batteries, I recommend Sanyo Enerloop rechargeable batteries. They are many times better than any I have used previously. They not only have good duration, but also hold their charge unused for a longer time.

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

You can only use the rechargeable battery, there are no areas on the cube where you can insert 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.

No you don't need rechargeable batteries. There is a built in battery inside that is rechargeable by solar. Great light tho.

Yes. The unit takes 2 AA batteries. You can use rechargeable NiCad or standard alkaline. And there is a setting in the tool menu to tell it which type you're using to get the best usage. I'm not sorry in the least that I got mine. Go for it!

Windows 8 compatible. The rechargeable battery can be replaced if you find the correct battery to replace it with. I don't believe you can use AA batteries when you order the one under this part number.

Yes you can replace the recargable batteries -- they are the same size as a AA Battery thus you can substitute regular AA Batteries till they run out.

I have the model that uses aa batteries. I do love the product and have bought several as presents for friends and relatives, they also love the product. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,
