can you use rechargable batteries
502672
I've been using AA rechargeable batteries (Eneloop) with AA to D adapters. After a fresh charge on a decent charger (I have the Sony model BCG34HLD2RN), when inserted into the WSCA03 there is a reading of 90% battery power. And the camera operates on them just fine, both photos and videos. So it may not be supported by the manufacturer, but it works for me. Someone mentioned that alkaline batteries are 1.5v. That's only true at their peak, when brand new. That figure drops as they are used.

Rechargeable batteries are 1.2 Volts while Alkaline are at least 1.5 volts. As Nancybirdies answered, it would not be a good idea to try any rechargeable batteries, since your initial cost for a set of 4 rechargeable "D" cells and a 4 battery charger would exceed $60.00, and because the lower total voltage of the 4-Rechargeables would be about 4.8 volts while 4-Alkalines batteries would provide around 6 volts to the unit. The charge indicator on the unit would start out indicating a low battery level even with fully charged rechargeables in the unit, and provide less than satisfactory.

Hi Barbara, I contacted Wingscapes.com customer service about this and they replied that rechargable batteries are "not recommended." No further explanation was given. Have not tried it myself...but still would like to see if possible.

You can use any brand of rechargeable batteries, otherwise if you use it much you will be wasting a lot of money on throw away batteries.

This use 2 AAA batteries, yes you can use rechargeables ones to save money.

yes they can. but a big enough battery with 12 volts of power. like a battery from a electric start 4 wheeler or lawn mower. that could give you hours of use until the battery needs to be recharged.

Batteries last quite a while actually. I never used rechargeables but you probably could. Great machine. always dig the nickels!!! I found gold rings that way!!!

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

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

To be honest I don't understand your question. Yes you can use a rechargeable battery

You can use Alkalines, Lithium or NiMH rechargable batteries. The size is AA (4)

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I didn't see anything on the packaging restricting the use of rechargeable batteries.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

Yes, the batteries are recharegable, and you just plug it in. Great camera!

You can use regular batteries but depending on how often you use it, you'll be changing them fairly frequently so it may be more economical to get rechargeable.

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

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

Yes , I am certain you can use rechargeable batteries in this lamp ; however in my experience rechargeable batteries are not very long lasting and will eventually not accept a charge . I stick to fresh regular D batteries and they work just fine .

I've never tried it with rechargeable batteries. But I don't see why not...,
