Can I buy other brands of rechargeable batteries or just leapster?

Works with any rechargable batteries (like Duracell, Energizer), but does NOT have a rechargeable battery pack available that I know of (like the LeapPad does)

Yes, you can purchase recharging batteries that will work. I bought Energizer Recharge Power Plus from Lowes Hardware and they do work. Regular batteries (non-rechargeable) do not work!

The Leapster Explorer (B0038APBDA) does NOT come with the rechargeable Battery pack but ASIN# B0038ANO3O (the recharger kit) does. They should really sell these as a package but you have to buy them separate. You will regret not buying the recharger kit after burning through a lot of batteries. To answer your question, YES the recharger kit comes with the rechargeable battery pack.

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries; that is how we use ours. Most apps and games are geared to preschoolers and 1st graders. You can check the Demo site a leapfrog.com and see some video of apps.

I got my 6 year old the leapfrog tab 2 and she likes it but she gets very aggregated because the batteries die to quickly. If you decide to get 1 I recommend get a power cord that fits it because Batteries can be a hassle and aggregating.

Yes, you can use any brand of rechargeable batteries. I have used Sanyo, Amazon, Eveready, and others.

The batteries can be purchased at Walgreens, but if you have other uses for them as well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AT21R2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We've been using rechargables but it's getting a little insane b/c DS loves playing his games (learning all the while, yay!). Just this weekend I replaced the rechargable batteries twice. I'm going ahead and buying the Leapster charger for the convenience.

I am only finding these, but perhaps one is interchangeable. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Arechargeable+battery+pack+leapfrog&keywords;=rechargeable+battery+pack+leapfrog&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1405199637

My son does not have the rechargeable batteries so he goes through many batteries! My other son has the rechargeables and he rarely uses disposable batteries. I would not recommend buying so many at one time.

Swifferbattery.com has a replacement rechargeable battery! Great and only option out there.

it is a unique battery type, but im pretty sure you can get them from any staples, or bestbuy. most of the big guys stock them.

An EV3 rechargeable battery is available online for about sixty bucks. The www.legoeducation.us website or shop.lego.com both have it.

I recommend ENELOOP brand rechargeable batteries. They will last years on the shelf losing very little charge.

unless you like the camera feature - I say leapster 2.. it is simplier and has more games. My Son got it the month it came out ( his 3rd b day) and has had it almost 2 years.. LOVES it!!

Any brand as long as they are NiMh batteries. Just be sure that they are not old NiCads.
