can they use regular chargers

Most of the time yes but you should call the charger manufacturer as I did and ask them if their charger will harm optima batteries in any way.

most newer chargers have a setting for the agm gel type batteries, you want to use no more than a 12 to 15 amp preferably a 2 amp charger, kind of like a deep cycle battery less amps for longer time.. But when my charger was on the agm/gel battery settings it was showing 12 to 15 amps most of the time.. Good luck if you get one.

Many chargers auto set to these batteries. If you have a charger from years/decades ago that does not automatically switch off I would watch very carefully. You could overcharge and short the battery.

Yes - I've used a base level Sears 10 amp battery charger on them for years with no problems. I've always charged them in "Regular" mode and had no problems.

You need a charger that has a setting for AGM batteries. My charger has settings for 3 types of batteries, standard flooded, AGM and gel. Optima recommends a 10 amp charger.

I doubt it as every manufacturer seems to have their own little differences to force you to use their chargers/products.

You can charge them through your phone as well, using the regular phone charger.

I doubt it. I use the silicon sleeve but the chargers don't work. Those are the items I needed most.

Yes, but they can be slightly discharged. It's best to charge them when they arrive. You won't do any harm because the charger is smart (unlike the old-school chargers, "dumb chargers," that used timed charging methods).

I am only using a lipo charger so I'm not sure a regular charger will work for you

You will have to use a "dumb" charger to charge them up a bit before your can use them with this charger. Hope this helps.

You can use any charger with a mini usb connection that you probably already have. You can also plug it into your computer to charge it.

You can find chargers for the Rhyme anywhere that sells them. I used the one from another smartphone it has a typical plug.

You might check at an electronic store. The charger looks like it might be a sort of common item.

I have used the regular slow chargers just fine, even my BD charger/radio... Works fine

Short Answer: Yes. Please read longer answer: The slot names correspond to how much power the slot can supply. You may plug *any* device into *any* slot. *However* just make sure the slot supplies enough power for your device. I charge multiple devices all the time (even though the name on the slot is not the name of the device). Just be sure that high power consumption devices like a tablet etc. are plugged into the higher power slots. You may plug any low power device (like many phones) into any slot. I really like the charger.

You can use most cell phone chargers or I used my MP3 player charge cord. Hope this helps!

No. It can be charged using the standard electric charger or automobile charger included in the kit.

Yes, no a problem. Any brand of chargers can be use. But result might not be the same. If you can afford to use ISI charger stick to it, you will love it!

You can use any charger.It uses the same USB plug of a standard phone (micro USB), but the higher the electric current (500mA, 1A or 2A), faster de charging speed. Just be aware about the quality of the charger.
