does the batteries need recharged

Yes, the internal battery required recharging. The keyboard case comes with a recharging cable, but any microUSB cable would work.

Yes it has to be recharged periodically but it seems to last a long time. I use it every day and I charge it probably once per month.

Yes. Just like any wireless device, the keyboard has to be recharged occasionally. It comes with the connector to do that, and I have to say that in my experience the charge lasts for a long time - even months!

I do not think batteries can be recharged. If you need light this set is not for you. If you want ambiance they will do. Hate mine. Gave them to Nephew.

I think so. At least I do not recall any warning about not using rechargeable batteries.

No they are not rechargeable. However, it takes standard AA batteries that can be substituted with rechargeable AA batteries.

Great question, never tried with rechargeable batteries but this is the best Mighty Bright unit hands down.

No, it's batteries only - however, you can get rechargeable batteries and recharge those.

It is always recommended to keep rechargeable batteries on charge when not in use. Otherwise you may find shorter battery life.

Yes, you recharge the battery. It comes with a cord to plug right into a wall outlet.

The included batteries are not rechargeable. The battery it shipped with has lasted me a a while, you may be able to use it for several month before you have to go out and buy any extra batteries (rechargeable or not)

Correct. There is a battery compartment that takes D batteries. I use rechargeables. They don't last a really long time, so I plug it in whenever that's easy to do, and use the batteries the other times.

have not replaced my batteries yet. I would say yes on the rechargeable batteries.

Not at all. Leave the batteries in in case you need them. Plug it in when you can.

Yes, both the car and the controller need batteries. Best to buy rechargeable batteries, but, it's worth it. Kids love this toy.

No. You can use regular rechargeable batteries. Nice little kit though. Takes two AA batteries about 3 hours to recharge.

No. It is recharged by using any standard mini-USB cable and 5V adapter. It uses 3 standard AA batteries. I have lots of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries on hand for all my doodads and just used those for myself. The batteries last a very long time in this radio. I've had the radio for many months and use it a lot but have only recharged them twice. This is a great radio for a long trip in remote areas. The Amazon description says "lithium ion batteries", but it's wrong.

Mine did not. I purchased two sets of rechargeable batteries to use with this. It works out very well.

Right. This one isn't rechargeable, it needs to stay plugged in. They do have other models that are rechargeable, I believe. They are usually a bit more expensive. But keep in mind that those batteries will slowly die over time.
