do they use regular AAA batteries

no. you have to buy the lithium batteries made for phones with the little wire attached. They come with batteries so you just have to allow them time to charge and they last a very long time. I believe I'm going on my third year or close to it. Definitely more than 2.

No. They take special batteries which I find to be very expensive. I think it's cheaper to buy new handsets than invest in the battery!

You can use regular AAA batteries in these radios, but they don't last anywhere near as long as a single charge on the rechargeable pack (and rechargeable AAA batteries die even faster than regular AAAs), and AAA batteries CANNOT be recharged in the radio. If you have rechargeable AAA batteries, you must charge them using their own charger. This charger only works for the dedicated battery packs.

Yes, they take one AAA battery. They should be switched "off" when not in use to preserve the battery by sliding the yellow switch on the side. They are still functional when the battery is dead; the noise reduction feature will not work, though. Hope this helps :)

They are not like AA or AAA batteries but are battery pack that can be bought at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack (a bit high priced). Look at Wal-Mart or similar store for this battery pack in the phone/electronics section: BT183342/BT283342 (2.4 volt 400mAh). They are $4.58 new on Amazon if you wish to use the BT numbers to look it up.

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

They each use a pair of AAA batteries, I haven't had to replace them yet. You could put rechargeable batteries in them if you wanted but they would have to be charged externally.

No they do not... You have to supply your own batteries... This one is actually the best for your money....just buy batteries..

They will work with regular AAA batteries. I have also used rechargable AAAs, but found out that I had to scrape a bit of the paper off of the one making contact with the prong on the radio to make them work. You will still have to take this type battery out and put in a charger to charge.

I was told that you can use regular batteries instead of rechargeable ones. I return these earphones because on the first day of use, the lower band that goes over the head broke, so I never got to use 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.

They operate on standard AA batteries. You can of course buy recharable AA batteries.

Yes, they are AA like any other, Not rechargeable so you can use them in anything that takes a normal battery. They will just last a lot longer. Hope that helps.

Seems like they do, however I chose to use the rechargeable lithium (18365?). These flashlights (any brand LED over 100 lumens) really go thru expensive CR123 batteries fast. Get the recharge... well worth it.

Yes, it comes with a standard AAA battery included. Mine is still running on the original battery.

Yes they do! with a little activation strip, so you can be confident that the battery isn't used or worn out.

Yes. Standard AAA batteries will not work. Had I known this would not have bought the light.
