the unit takes standard aaa batteries.uses very little power so i would not use rechargables as they discharge in the unit.

It has an adapter to use 3 standard AAA's. It does come with the rechargeable battery and the charger as well, but you can use standard batteries via the adapter. I've never tried it so I don't know if there's a performance difference or not.

No idea. They were just your standard-sized AAA batteries when I bought them.

Yes but you have to use adaptors, they are plastic surrounds you put the aaa batteries in. I don't remember if they came with the unit or another one I got.

Thanks for posting this question. I just purchased my 1st set of AAA batteries and planned to use them with this charger. I thought they wouldn't fit, started searching online for the solution, found this. I've yet to try it out, but will this evening. Thanks!

I use the AAA batteries. They work just fine. Cant beat this item for the price. Well worth it.

Use 2 AAA batteries. Although I haven't used rechargeable ones I don't know why they wouldn't work. They will not last long. I always keep an extra set with the camera.

No they are not AAA batteries. They are awesome rechargeable batteries designed for a specific purpose ! Purchase them if your electrical device requires them !

Regular AAA batteries do the trick fine. Very compact and bright. Recommended.

All you need is an AAA battery, and it will work! (At least that worked for me)

I only use regular batteries, I honestly do not know about that, sorry. I guess we'll have to do some research.

Rechargeable AAA batteries should work. I can see no reason why they wouldn't. However, the batteries that come with the unit are standard non-rechargeable.

You can use 'C' batteries. But you will find that the rechargeables work so much better you won't want to use "regular" batteries.

I use 2 C batteries...I don't think AAA batteries would fit....when you open battery compartment by rotatingend of handle it shows a compartment for only C batteries

Yes, works with AAA. They give you a rechargeable pack (which is wrapped up AAA rechargeable) but you can just use plain old AAA. No complaints.
