Has anyone tried rechargeable batteries with a DS004 base or scanning "wand"?

Rechargable batteries will work, but number of scan will be less. Rechargable batteries has 1.2 volts compare to 1.5volts nonrechargable batteries.

have not but don't see any reason they would'nt work... I have rechargables and havn't found anything they will not work on... I will be trying them as soon as the batteries go dead on my portable scanner.....

No. Both have worked very well. Have you reinstalled the entire thing, including the batteries?

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't advise it. Is the scanner able to charge Ni-MH, and does it have auto shutoff capabilities?

We did not try rechargeable...but the batteries only run the LED light, for using the microscope at night or in dim settings, so I don't see why rechargeable wouldn't work. Though rechargeable batteries' top power levels are never quite as high as non-rechargeable, I don't think you'd see any difference in light levels, since LEDs take so little power to run. Any difference the lower power levels made would likely be in how long between battery changes, instead.

Depends on how much juice it needs to draw. I could not connect to my scanner with it for that reason. That little skinny cord might not be heavy enough.

I've been using the toy only with standard non rechargeable batteries. I have no report to give for the rechargeable ones.

Yes you can. It is a higher dpi when you scan with in attached to the base. But you can scan very well with the the wand. I love mine! I have scanned pictures, documents and everything with it.

I put these batts . in a handheld scanner...was way overkill on mAh...like on your lights. But have been doing great, just hold a chg. 'alot' longer. The important part is ...it's still 1.2V. Hope this helps ya ☺Have been in and working for about 6months or so. The $'s were right for sure.

I haven't tried that. I know that some people have tried using smaller(garden tractor type batteries) that haven't worked very well. We use a standard deep cycle 12 volt battery. I do recommend getting the remote control, it makes it even more fun. We have launched around 5,000 clays flawlessly with this unit and I highly recommend it! Hopes this helps....Roy

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

It fits in a scanning wand which has a base that charges the entire unit.It does not include a charger. Great Battery.

The scanner doesn't have a power cord or batteries. You power it from the laptop with the USB so I don't think it will meet your needs.

Yes, you can charge the wand with adapter and USB cable and then later use it. You can use the want without the docking station like other VuPoint magic wand scanners. You would want to use the dock if you want to scan(paper) using the autofeed, which gives better results(and higher resolution/dpi) than handscans.

I have not tried it and the product discription doesn't include the cr 123's in the list of batteries it charges. Hope this helps. Irwin

Tony: I have only used the scanner with a USB connection with my Mac, however, I don't think it has bluetooth capabilities as there is no other connection available. I am not familiar with Scan Power software so I can't help you there. Sorry.

The answer to this questions is a "yes". I also have a Scum Buster as well as the Black & Decker floor vac and also a couple of flashlights that also use these batteries. Its really a shame that these products were deleted.

Okay, I just tried the 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper in mine and it did work fine with it. To use the docking station, it does have to be hooked to electricity, not the computer. The wand itself will scan just about anything that I have run it over so far and it has a rechargeable battery in it. One being the 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper. To download your scans to computer you must hook up. Hope this helps you out.
