I see no purpose or application for the 2/3 rechargeable AAA. Is anyone using this and if so, please describe exactly how. TX!

I have been using this product with great results for about 6 months with three different electronic units, each with it's own remote. None of them were RF before. You replace just one of your AAA remote batteries with theirs, which is shorter and fits in a sleeve or if it's a AA, a special overcoat sleeve just fits around the smaller battery and sleeve.I don't know the electronics but I think it puts your remote signal & frequency, inside an RF envelope which is picked up by the space ship receiver, on the other side of the barrier, strips and retransmits via a separate "eye" for each unit. All I know is that it works perfectly, making each remote RF with much better range and control. I recommend it highly but be sure to get enough "eyes" for all your receiving units and enough of the right batteries (1 for each of the remotes you will use). It's well worth the money. I hated to spend but am really glad I did.

I don't know about the above buyer but it works well for me. As for rechargeable batteries, I don't see why they won't work. The unit uses 6 AAA type, I use Duracell/Energizer, and can get about a full month of use with them on for 30-40 mins a day.

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

i've used it with both rechargable and AA batteries. the AA worked for me, but had two negatives in comparison to the rechargables: it felt heavier, and the battery life was shorter. if your adapter for the AA isnt working properly, it might be the unit. have you tried using the rechargable batteries?

I am odd man out, but mine would not work with AAA batteries. The slots were loose and the batteries kept slipping out of the slots and would not recharge. No problem with any other size, but mine will not charge aaa...sorry.

Thanks for posting this question. I just purchased my 1st set of AAA batteries and planned to use them with this charger. I thought they wouldn't fit, started searching online for the solution, found this. I've yet to try it out, but will this evening. Thanks!

Hi,i used AAA batteries on this and they do work. And should work.Bought them because I prefer to use regular batteries than rechargeables.Either way there might be manufacturing defects,or consult a retailer to certify its working condition.RegardsDtws76

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.

I have charged 2 at a time, and 4 at a time. To date, I have not tried 2 AA's with 2 AAA's. It is a reliable charger.

I actually didn't use rechargable. I used regular AA and it worked perfectly for me!

They don't make that point clear in their advertisement which is why I bought it. The paper work included with the charger states that is does NOT work on a drained or dead battery. Save your money and get AAA instead. They are always able to start the car for you when your battery is dead!

Will it recharge new 2650mAh Duracell AA's? Is it "smart" enough to top them off for a full recharge? Same with 1000mAh AAA's?

In my opiinion, yes. However, I am not a tech expert on this. I believe a AAA works.

It has an adapter to use 3 standard AAA's. It does come with the rechargeable battery and the charger as well, but you can use standard batteries via the adapter. I've never tried it so I don't know if there's a performance difference or not.

I guess Amazon has the batteries for this device. I just know I can't buy them just everywhere. I don't know why they didn't use a AAA battery. I think they are thin enough but well...they are the designers. I don't live in the U.S. so maybe that's why I can't get a hold of this model of battery so easily.

I have the same issues! I have had great success with the 750ma (green) batteries, so I ordered some of these 900ma (blue) batteries hoping for longer life. Instead I got varying voltages, higher than 3.0V that the flashlight did not like, plus, they are slightly bulkier and get stuck in the flashlight. They should be built to the same standard, but they are Not!

I haven't used the rechargeable battery at all with this light. I think the AAA batteries are better, although they do create more waste so I would recommend recycling them when they have reached their limit. I think the light is great, but I would also couple it with a helmet light, too. Hope this helps.
