Can I use regular AA battery, instead of rechargeable battery?

No, you can not use AA batteries. I don't know if you can purchase an extra battery. So far battery life has not been an issue for me.

the latest version of this calculator uses a single lithium rechargeable via a standard USB connector to charge it. however the owner manual for this calculator depicts 4, AAA batteries along with a CR2032 for backup. The newer model though only sports that one lithium. If the one you have or intend to have still uses the legacy battery system for this entire TI programmable line you should use AAA lithium's rather than alkaline. don't use ni-cad or ni-mh. finally, the single lithium rechargeable lasts a long time... AND the calculator even sports a battery monitor. Personally THIS is the battery system I'd be looking for and not the legacy type. the latest version of this calculator uses a single lithium rechargeable via a standard USB connector to charge it. however the owner manual for this calculator depicts 4, AAA batteries along with a CR2032 for backup.

No, it must use the rechargeable. It has a battery meter like your phone so you know when it's about to run out.

I think it depends on which version you get. I got the one called "Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Graphing Calculator, Black" from Amazon, in April, 2014. It comes with the rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries and is does not have any capability to use any AA batteries. I opened up the battery compartment to see what it looks like, and its a rectangular battery with a single connector.

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

What do you mean my "Regular AA batteries"?If your item takes rechargable AAs, these will work just fine.What does your manual say?

You can use regular batteries but depending on how often you use it, you'll be changing them fairly frequently so it may be more economical to get rechargeable.

No, you supply your own 4 AA batteries. You could still use your own rechargeable batteries.

Yes, you can use the 3.7v. I use a rechargeable 3.7v, and it actually produces a brighter light than a standard AA lithium.

Just with the regular batteries. Haven't even tried it, and I think I've already disposed the AA battery adapter. Sorry couldn't help.

Hi Joyce ! Yes. Absolutely. You can use any brand of AA batteries for the A1300. I Always use rechargeable AA batteries. When they run down I just put them back in the charger and I'm good to go. I always take extra rechargeables wherever I go.

You can either use a AA alkaline or a very standard lithium-ion 14500 battery and be able to recharge it without removal. It comes with a rechargeable lithium pre-installed. Great product.

nope, standard AA bateries. You could use rechargeable batteries though....but there is no solar panel on them.

You can use rechargeable batteries, but there is no built-in rechargeable battery.

Not regular AA batteries. It comes with an adaptor, if I am not mistaken, for 3 AAA batteries.

You can't use regular alkaline AAs but you can use regular AA rechargeable batteries that are Nickel Metal-Hydrate. Duracell and Energizer sell those.And the unit comes with a cord to charge the batteries from a USB. Can't charge them with a wall outlet unless a cell phone charger that has USB is used.

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

You can use regular AAA batteries, not AA batteries. Plus, this flashlight sucked. I wouldn't even bother.

Yes you can replace the recargable batteries -- they are the same size as a AA Battery thus you can substitute regular AA Batteries till they run out.
