Does this radio charge batteries?

It does not charge Milwaukee batteries. If I remember correctly based on previous reviewers comments Dewalt's or Bosch might. It does have a USB port to charge a cell phone.

The Makita radio does not charge the battery. It will charge your iphone or ipod. I wish it did. As far as I know the only radio that charges batteries is the dewalt. I think their patent is still in effect. I've had 2 of those. They stink. all you hear is static while it charges. I like the Makita radio, it sounds great. The only problem so far is the cover over the ipod dock broke off.

Dear Sir: You can use charge batteries with this radio, but they must all be of the same kind; you can not use different type of batteries because they will damage the radio. As far as I know, you cannot charge batteries while in the radio.

there is a rechargeable battery that comes with the radio. you charge it on the base that the radios are sitting on in the picture. there is an adaptor that you can buy to make it use regular batteries if thats what you want to do.

No. It charges off the batteries in the controller. It also has a USB charger if you want to use that where appropriate

Yes, it works on batteries, four AA's. One thing I like about this radio is that the aux power cord is removable, no need to tuck into the case.

Yes. The radio will work great with regular alkaline AA batteries and has a much longer run time with the alkaline versus the rechargeable. Great radios!!!

Not directly, it only holds AA batteries. However if you a AAA charger with a USB plug I'd imagine it would charge them. It may lose some efficiency though if it has to convert wattage/voltage. Hope this helps!

Yes, there is a charger for the battery and the radio can be operated from the charger.

No, the batteries will not be charged when the AC is plugged in. However, I have noticed that the radio will run a long time, many hours on the batteries alone with no degradation in performance. Not sure how many hours since I have yet to exhaust the batteries.

No, it doesn't have a battery charger. It works on replaceable AA batteries. It automatically turns off when not in use to conserve the batteries. I have only put batteries in it once since I have owned it and it is still working on those.

The radio is not designed to charge batteries internally. An alterative would be to have twelve batteries on hand. When the six battries in use show signs of weakening, they can be put into an external charger and be replaced with the other six batteries on hand. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

This radio has rechargable batteries and and an adapter to charge them, so if the device you mention has 120volt output, yes you can.

You need to purchase a BaoFeng "battery eliminator". Do a search for this and you will find one. The battery eliminator will power your radio. To charge the battery you will need to use your charging base with an adapter like this.

It comes with a charger/power adapter. It will charge the batteries and allow the radio to be on at the same time. The radio has a switch to change from regular AA Alkaline to NimH rechargable. I like this radio because of being able to recharge the batteries in the radio while playing it at the same time. This is a quality product and I recommend it.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.
