Will this work with rechargeables, IE not burning it up?

Don't see why not, haven't tried before as CR123 lithium last sufficiently long in 5mw laser, and are pretty cheap. My experience with recharges are they have less voltage then trier lithium counterparts. Should not be a problem using recharges though.

Mine will run off the cord, but I plug it in before the battery is completely dead. If completely discharged, you may have to wait a few / several minutes for the battery charge to build a bit. Not sure. DO NOT let ANY rechargeable batteries charge constantly between uses. They can over heat and cause a fire. It happened to me (but it wasn't this light that caused the fire - it was a rechargeable drill).

Hello Ahmad, I don't believe it would work - rechargeable batteries charge slowly to avoid rapid expansion and cracking in the internal structures so I don't think it would be worth the risk even if it did work. This is the reason these things charge somewhat slowly.

As long as you can find non-rechargeable batteries of the correct size. Some of these lights use unusual size batteries are something that I have only seen in a rechargeable format.

I don't know, but I wouldn't think so, because it takes external triple As. I do use rechargeables, but I plug them into their little recharging station.

I once dismantled such a torch and I assure you it is NOT rechargeable at all. It comes with 3 pcs of button battery, but they are disposable. They ran out after some usage. Then you will never be able to charge them. Rechargeable batteries are expensive and make the electrical circuit much more difficult.

Hi,i used AAA batteries on this and they do work. And should work.Bought them because I prefer to use regular batteries than rechargeables.Either way there might be manufacturing defects,or consult a retailer to certify its working condition.RegardsDtws76

Kathleen: That should not be a problem. What brand of rechargeable battery you use has no bearing on the functioning of this gadget. You can also use regular (non-rechargeable batteries) as well. Each battery, whether regular or rechargeable, is 1.5 volt and two batteries put together simply generates 3 volt of current, that is all this player needs to operate. By the way you can also use an adapter instead of batteries that you can plug into 120 volt house line to power this player. You have to buy it separately, I believe any store such as Walmart has the adapters. Hope that helps

I just checked the label on the fire extinguisher and it CAN be recharged. So the answer is "Yes"

Probably but only over a long period of time and it will only maintain a charge, not charge the batteries up from dead or low.

Yes, it should. It will be drained significantly after charging a dead battery but it should have no problem recharging after that.

Yes I see no problem utilizing rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps. Very useful light.

I would imagine so, but I have not tried it. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work. I've had great luck using maha rechargables in other equipment.

I don't know about the above buyer but it works well for me. As for rechargeable batteries, I don't see why they won't work. The unit uses 6 AAA type, I use Duracell/Energizer, and can get about a full month of use with them on for 30-40 mins a day.

Rechargeable is what I have been using. I don't believe they charge up like that.

I don't see why not, although I don't know if a rechargeable would hold its power level as long as an alkyline or lithium. After all, these units primarily just sit there for months/years, whilst rechargables are made for heavy power drain over shorter periods, like toys, electric razors, radios, then be recharged.

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter
