Accessory pack has AC charger, but I thought H2n uses two AA batteries. Does one have to buy special rechargeable AA batteries? Or what is the story?

you can plug it into the mains when using with your computer (as live interface for example). otherwise when on the move it needs batteries my friend. hope this helps.

The small USB power brick is so you can plug in the Zoom, so you won't run down the batteries during long sessions.

NiMH batteries are reuseable - for this one $6 shot = about a dozen AA alkalines over 4 charges e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Instant-Charger-Mobile-Phones/dp/B0093GIME8

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

It comes with a charger/power adapter. It will charge the batteries and allow the radio to be on at the same time. The radio has a switch to change from regular AA Alkaline to NimH rechargable. I like this radio because of being able to recharge the batteries in the radio while playing it at the same time. This is a quality product and I recommend it.

no, this kit comes with AA batteries and an adapter. You can buy a rechargeable battery separately.

Yes, it takes aa batteries and rechargeable aa work fine. This is a great battery pack for the price.

I just got mine and couldn't find where it said not to use rechargeables, tried N-MH batteries and it worked fine. All 4 modes OK. I would rather use rechargeables since have had Alkalines leak and ruin things the last 3-4 years, (new ones ). I'm talking major brand batteries too. Maybe Chinas' Quality Control has dropped.

It requires an AAA size battery. It does not have built-in provision for recharging its battery. However, I found that I can use a rechargeable NiMH battery and then use an external charger just fine. The lower standard NiMH cell voltage is not a problem.

I believe you can use any AA chargeable batteries. The charger shown here will charge NiMhydride AA batteries.

Agreed on AA batteries. I do a bit of international photography and can always find AA batteries. It's impossible to find specialized batteries in most of Africa and Latain America, and a charging unit for a specialized battery is just more gear to lug around, with the risk of loss.

4 AA's, yes, I use a recharger; I bought it at Harbor freight - model V-1199. Hope that helps.

Good question! I just took the batteries out of my H2n, and connected a standard 5v charger to the USB port and YES, it ran normally in this mode. It did ask me to set the date/time, and I expect it would do this every time I plugged it in.

It depends on the individual type of charger. Definitely they should be all RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. The best way to know is to follow the instruction manual, or see on the back of the charger itself, mostly it is mentioned. Depending on the type of charger, most of them can recharge AA or AAA batteries of NiMH type. AGAIN, PL. CHECK. PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, WRONG BATTERIES USED CAN EXPLODE!

Any charger that will charge basic NiCad batteries will also charge the nickel metal hydride batteries. However, I have not had good luck with Amazon AA rechargable batteries.

You need a separate battery pack to use AA batteries. But, they only cost a few dollars. Good to have as they have about twice the power as the standard battery and it is nice to have a readily available backup if your batteries go dead.

It's used 2 AA batteries, that you can buy from any where if you batteries get low. You can use 2 AA rechargeable lithium batteries which do not come with it. Also you will need to purchase a battery charger too, if you use the rechargeable batteries.
