Can we use this to analyze none chargeable batteries ? Standard AA AAA ?

The manual only references use of the Quick Test mode with alkaline batteries. However, the Quick Test and Discharge functions can be used with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The Quick Test will display the internal impedance of any cell put in the charger. That is NiMH, NiCd, RAM, and Alkaline batteries. The Discharge function will work with any of those cells as well. At termination it will show the discharged capacity of the cell. Under no circumstances should any cells other than NiMH or NiCd be charged in this charger. That means Charge, Charge Test, Discharge Refresh modes should not be used for any cells other than NiMH and NiCd. Doing so could damage the cells causing leakage or explosion of the cell.

I bought and use it exclusively for AA rechargeable batteries. But the product literature very clearly states that it will work on AA and AAA and adjust the charging current appropriately - so I am not sure what you are questioning.

Yes. A single AA. I'm also a little paranoid about this thing draining that battery, so I usually keep a little piece of paper between the contact and the battery until I need to use it. Would suck to not be able to test battery life if the battery in the battery tester is drained.

If you look closely in the slots the aa batteries fit into you will see some short tabs that aaa batteries will engage. They will not be obvious in a picture unless it is a closeup. I thought the same thing and thought it was kind of cheap but it seems to be a clever way to charge both aaa and aa batteries in a compact design. I have been using mine primarily for charging aaa batteries for a headlight I use everyday at work and have had no problems.

I don't know because I have already thrown it in trash-batteries can't be charged

It uses NiMH rechargeable batteries that are AAA in size, and easy to replace. However if you're asking whether you can use normal (non-rechargeable) AAA batteries, the answer is "don't try it". Even if it works, you'll be burning through a pair of disposable batteries every week; very expensive and very bad for the environment.

I did not get batteries with it. I don't see why you couldn't use rechargeable since they are AAA.

This product works on 0 volts and cannot be operated by regular AA battery. My broke within a month and I am very unsatisfied with the product as I used it only a few times before the batteries died and cannot replace it.

If the AAA battery works, you really don't need this one. However, this NextGen unit is rechargeable, and then it's a question of economy -- and whether you'd also have to buy a recharging device.

If you mean double AA or triple AAA answer is No! must use must use Li-ion looks like an over sized postage stamp,,,, and they are rechargeableDan

Can use TRIPLE "AAA" batteries if you buy the battery holder.Dont know about Double "A" size

Saw somewhere it takes 6 x AAA batteries - don't know if you can use rechargeable ones.

Christine - not 100% sure. it is not the usual AA or AAA. They are those little round ones like in watches

Rechargeables is all I use it for really... I really couldn't say it reads incorrectly as I have nothing to compare it to... it lets me know which ones have comparable charges & whether a battery is uncharged or not. I do note that new alkaline batteries show a higher total charge than a fully charged rechargeable. I think as long as you determine what baseline is for your fully charged batteries, this works just fine. If you need to know the exact numerical charge for batteries, this isn't the tester for you.

No. This is a special rechargeble battery that is not the standard size of AA batteries.

No, this is not an AAA battery. Further, when installed, it is a rechargeable one.

As far as I know, no. To test the charge, it is executed a discharge/charge cicle. It would be possible to test the volts of the battery, wich is reliable mesasure for non-rechargeable batteries, but I presume it would be dangerous.
