What batteries can be used? Does this work with regular AAA batteries that are non-rechargeable, or only rechargeable batteries suppied by Motorola?

Yes, works with AAA. They give you a rechargeable pack (which is wrapped up AAA rechargeable) but you can just use plain old AAA. No complaints.

Only the supplied batteries and I do not know if they can be changed. A charge lasts a long time though

I have been using AA batteries that seem to last much longer than the original rechargable ones that come with unit.

It was a gift for my son and I haven't used it. He is very happy with it and reviews on Amazon and other places were very positive. It uses two AAA batteries based on the owners manual I downloaded. NOTE: the manual says NOT TO USE rechargeable batteries.

Cmiller is correct, you can use rechargeable batteries. I remembered a warning in the manual regarding rechargeable batteries, so I checked it again-- it warns against trying to use non-rechargeable batteries in a battery recharger, which might seem like a no-brainer but some people might be tempted to try doing that. There is even a function that lets you specify that you're using rechargeable batteries. But it would be much better to just buy the Survival Kit, which has a power adapter, headphones, and extended warranty.

Hello there! These two way radios come with AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries, but if you wish the radios can use AAA alkaline batteries too. Each radio takes 3 AAA alkaline batteries.

I use AA Duracell Ultra. I have no idea if they will accept rechargeable. BTW, I will soon order another transmitter because they have worked so well

i've used it with both rechargable and AA batteries. the AA worked for me, but had two negatives in comparison to the rechargables: it felt heavier, and the battery life was shorter. if your adapter for the AA isnt working properly, it might be the unit. have you tried using the rechargable batteries?

Takes normal AAA batteries and works quite nicely. Don't know what performance would be with rechargeable batteries. I've had and used it quite a bit for over a month and batteries have lasted.

AAA **RECHARGEABLE** - any kind will do. I bought a set of Sanyo batteries with a separate charger from Amazon.

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.

I am odd man out, but mine would not work with AAA batteries. The slots were loose and the batteries kept slipping out of the slots and would not recharge. No problem with any other size, but mine will not charge aaa...sorry.

I only use regular batteries, I honestly do not know about that, sorry. I guess we'll have to do some research.

This battery is a rip off. It is not an original Motorola battery and therefore cannot be charged by my phone!!!!! What did you all do? Did you send it back? If it's a bogus company what's the use? Please let me know what you all did.

I use 4 C-batteries. I use Tenergy rechargeable batteries. Use caution in placing the batteries in the flashlight. They have to be in the arrangement specified. This has been a very good flashlight. I use it literally everyday.

This items used two 'AAA' batteries. Although you could use rechargeable AAA batteries!

To my knowledge it doesn't take any AAA batteries, it has a rechargeable battery. You just plug it in to the charger.

Regular batteries work - I think they're AAA. Only two & they last for a while! From what I know - rechargeable batteries and regular batteries work the same way - it's just that the regular ones are discarded after they loose their charge.
