Can you use alkaline batteries in theses walkies?

Yes they work with alkaline batteries. They also have a very good range and clarity.

Hello there! These two way radios come with AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries, but if you wish the radios can use AAA alkaline batteries too. Each radio takes 3 AAA alkaline batteries.

Being that these walkies have to be recharged, alkaline batteries won't do. They are not rechargeable

I've never tried it. Maybe try to contact Gerber. Ordinary alkaline batteries last a long, long time anyway. I've used one battery for six months. Of course, I don't use it extensively but do take some long walks at night.

Yes, you can put the regular AA batteries in them. The batteries that come with the unit are the same size as AA. However, I was impressed as to how long the rechargeable batteries that come with the unit lasts. It seemed to last at least 10 to 12 hours if you did not talk on them all the time.

Use 6 AA alkaline batteries only. If you use rechargeable batteries, the power of the rechargeable will not be sufficient.

yes alkaline batteries work great, my camera was out for 45-50 days, taking several hundred photos day and night and when I took it down it still had 96% battery power.

Yes you can. AGM batteries don't contain any free roaming fluids like a lead acid battery and they have minimal venting so you can use them inside. If your going to use this battery enclosed make sure you have at least some venting to avoid the possible build up of explosive hydrogen gas. They are also military spec so they hold up to the elements very well. After 2 years of 90 Summers and -10 Winters outside they still look and funfunction like new.!

Absolutely! You'll get a bit more life out of it if you do. No different than going from Standard flashlight batteries and upgrading to Alkaline. Simply lasts longer.

As long as it is alkaline. But don't let the batteries get completely dead.

These are 3 AA batteries (not AAA). They are AA sized and will not fit in AAA walkies.

Takes 2 standard AA Alkaline Batteries -but- Rechargeable NiMH Batteries will work too.

Yes, you can change batteries in the radio. Did I say you can "charge batteries" WITH-IN the radio? (Must be the glasses. I read it wrongly.) NO! You cannot charge batteries "WITH-IN" the radio. I recommend using alkaline d-cell batteries. All the same brand and replace the batteries as needed.

I don't know if the batteries will run down, but it's never a good idea to leave alkaline batteries installed in any device if it's not used regularly because of the possibility of leakage and corrosion.

Ya Daseul, you can use them. In fact those are the only batteries I have at present. They work just fine.

Yes. Just make sure you don't try to charge it with Alkaline batteries inserted.

I can tell you from experience that rechargeable batteries do NOT work. It takes only standard AA alkaline batteries only. The manual will not tell you this, 'Kevin' the support guy from India will not tell you this, but it is true.
