" ... Yes, rechargeable batteries do work - I am using NiMH AAA batteries (Amazon basics high capacity), and true, they cannot be charged while in the talkie. ... You will need an external charger. ... "
" ... The power source are AAA batteries, so you always have them available while camping as opposed to rechargeable batteries that soon lose charge as they age. ... "
" ... I got these specifically because they don't need to be charged or set in a cradle - just 3 AAA batteries each. ... "
" ... I ended up with a charger and a bunch of rechargeable batteries which have to be replaced almost Every three - four days. ... "
" ... Some may think having replaceable batteries vs being able to charge the unit is a drawback but I prefer battery replacement, especially when out in the middle of nowhere. ... "
" ... We have not had them long but the 3 AAA batteries seem to be holding a charge well. ... "
" ... I find them to be very durable and I like that they take 3 AAA batteries so there is no need for re-charging. ... "
" ... I bought these for backing up our trailer so we didn't have to worry about service or having phones charged. ... "
