I use it with rechargeable AA all the time! Make sure the batteries are properly paced.

yes you can you just need to find something that connects to the battery. You should be able to find something at a hoby shop

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

Hi,No, it won't. You can use only 1.2-1.5V AA rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

NO !!! You need the 18650 batteries. The regular AA batteries won't work, they are too small lengthwise and will not work.

No. I have not tried it with AA but the rechargables are bigger than AAs so you would have to alter the case to make them fit. I guess you could wad tinfoil up on either end, but the rechargables have more amps (I dont know about voltage) so if you got it to work I bet it wouldnt work long.

It can use alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries, but has no external charging capability. You have to remove the batteries to recharge them, if you use rechargeable ones. They last a long time, though, so it has never been an issue.

Unlikely as the 3.6V battery is slightly larger in size than AA batteries, both in width, and more importantly, in length. It is not a great difference, but most likely enough to make it too large for your flashlight.

You can use rechargeable AA batteries. However because of their limited capacity compared to the Lithium batteries that ship with it you may not be as many or even a complete recharge of you device using rechargeables.

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

This would depend on Your batteries. As it does not have a battery of it's own you would need to purchase four rechargeable AA batteries.

I don't believe so. The manufacturer lists an optional backup lithium battery pack, but there is no option to purchase an AA tray.

I dont use AA batteries because they don't last very long. I use 2 Canon E6 batteries.

Yes, I was told at a battery store that you can use AAs when I took the radio in to them. Just make sure you orient them correctly. I have had only one battery problem so far.

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

Joyce - Yes, you can use regular AA batteries and they will last a comparatively long time. If you are new to the A1300 I think you will really enjoy it...it's a good value for the price. Ron
