Does this work with Nmh rechargeable batteries and if so what is the battery life?

Yes, it works. About the battery life, i dont really know cause my batteries are wasted, so they dont work well, but it's like the regular batteries

I don't think rechargeable batteries are recommended for use in this unit. I buy the big pack of alkaline AA batteries at Sams or Costco to reduce cost and save spent batteries to be taken for recycling during our haz waste day. Great little unit for the $$

my batteries are DX1500 NiMH rechargeable and i no longer have the instructions to see if it does other types but if you find a charger cheap enough it wouldn't hurt to try it

I'm not sure about the 2700mAh but you can certainly try it. I use NiMH 1.2V 2000mAh rechargeable batteries and they work fine. However, they don't last but 10-12 days or so. This particular product eats batteries so using rechargeable's is the only economical way to power them. Having to change the batteries so often, I have the battery pack hanging outside my large vase to get to it easier. I can do this because my display sits up against a wall and the vase hides the battery pack. If you plan to have this display "out in the open"... not up against a wall, you will find yourself rearranging your entire display every time you have to change the batteries. I say this because there are only 3 branches and they are really a "filler" for a fuller arrangement. I do like them and they are a nice addition to my arrangement.

-sorry, can't answer . I bought a NiMh battery, which arrived dead. -returned it, and was never sent a replacement even after several follow-ups. I've lost faith in Amazon.

It says in the back to charge only Panasonic 1-4 AAA/AA Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. Of course they would say that in order to sell their batteries. I don't see why you cannot charge other Ni-MH batteries. Note that I have only used it for Panasonic Eneloop myself.

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.

The Google preview of this item shows "AmazonBasics AA High-Capacity Rechargeable Batteries (8-Pack) ... Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries provide the extra power you need . .... of about 2500 mAh, but two of the batteries are only 54-70% of the rating." but you are correct. When I click the link, that spec is nowhere to be found. I use these for wireless microphones at my church. They work great. The nubs are slightly short so I do have to seat them in really good but they are excellent.

It will work with almost all rechargeable & it can automatically identify Li-ion, Ni-MH & Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. It will not unless your batteries are rechargeable. I hope this will help you

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.

Hello there, I think it will work with regular AAA batteries but I haven't tested it though. I have only used it with the rechargeable batteries that came with it.

It does NOT recharge anything that is not NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Those are your usual batteries. The batteries must be marked as RECHARGEABLE. If you're looking for a familiar name brand, try Duracell. What it will not recharge are Lithium batteries--even the rechargable ones. Amazon has some rechargeables by Tenergy and some by a company called eneloop. You can look for three characteristics in rechargeable batteries. One is how many times you can recharge them. Eneloop has some you can recharge 1800 times. That's considerably more than most. Second is how long the batteries will retain their charge. What you want are 'slow auto-discharge' batteries. These are what come with the Guide 10 Plus charge. The third thing is how many milliamps the battery can put out. This can be quite varied. They can be as low as the 600-800 mAmp used in solar lights to high capacity 2400 mAmps. You likely won't find a battery that gives you the best of all worlds. If you do, let me know. Search for 'batteries' on amazon. They have just about any kind you might want.

Absolutely. I regularly charge Eneloop and Energizer NiMh batteries with this charger. The key is the chemistry of the batteries. All nickel metal hydride batteries should work fine.

This is what it says online when I Google your question: NiMH is an improved version of rechargeable batteries, they don't have the memory problem that NiCd's do. The only thing is you will need a special battery charger for them. Since the phone is the charger, then probably not.

Thank you for your question. It works on any D-Cell battery, and it has a rechargable battery. Thanks for looking! Home Wishes

I have reused the same batteries many times and it works well with both rechargable and non-rechargable battteries.Of course,rechargable batteries last way longer.

I don't know the answer, but here is my take: I am guessing it uses a standard rechargeable AA/AAA NiMH battery inside in which case I'd recommend Sanyo's Eneloops that can handle 2000+ charge cycles and have virtually no internal self-discharge. 've tried this fix successfully on a 20 year old Philishave system.

I'll agree with the consensus.I cannot confirm or deny compatibility with the very old NiCd batteries, and in fact do not recommend it, but I can confirm by experience that NiMH - both "standard" and "long shelf life/pre-charged" - and the iGo batteries both work in this charger.
