Will ordinary alkaline AA batteries work ok?

Yes. Just make sure you don't try to charge it with Alkaline batteries inserted.

Depends on your definition of ok. Since it goes through rechargeables in a week it would also eat through alkalines in (probably less than) 2 weeks which is a LOT of batteries over its lifetime, wastefully so in my opinion.

It comes with a charger. I find it needs charging every 15-20 days so you might be going through a fair number of batteries. Don't know if regular batteries work.

I am, as a matter of fact, using lithium batteries. But I can't see how that could make a difference. Any AA batteries (lithium or alkaline) should work. I can't be sure of course but I think your problem most likely comes from something other than the batteries.

They seem to be a bundle of AA size batteries with a heavy duty shrink wrap I placed mine in an alarm system also as replacement. Although it was not ADT. I would think that it would be compatible. The systems from most companies is probably similar power requirements.

Yes they work with alkaline batteries. They also have a very good range and clarity.

If by regular batteries you mean non-RAM alkalines, in my experience they will charge, with reduced capacity (it seemed to get worse each charging). I personally don't find it worth recharging them in price comparison with RAM or NiMH batteries that can be charged hundred of times and still hold a good charge.To answer your questions more directly. Works as well as can be expected on non--RAM alkalines. I wouldn't charge them more than twice. You are better off with batteries designed to be recharged.

There is no reason why they should not. I recall reading an article that suggests which type of battery to use. Rechargeable is best when the battery will be used more heavily. Alkaline when they will sit unused for long periods of time.

Use 6 AA alkaline batteries only. If you use rechargeable batteries, the power of the rechargeable will not be sufficient.

I really can't say. Alkaline batteries do tend to leak, and are not inexpensive to replace. I'm using Duracell rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. They probably don't last as long between recharges as alkaline batteries, but eventually the rechargeables win on cost. In about 20 days of use the rechargables are working fine. I do like the camera.

Regular AA batteries will work and recharge as well as the premium batteries that come with it, but you will not get as many recharges.

Yes Alyce, you may use these in any appliance or device that accommodates AA cells; however, it is best to reserve lithium cells for devices and appliances or devices such as digital cameras, portable CD players, smoke and CO2 detectors or those that continually draw current. I would use less expensive alkaline AA cells for more decorative appliances.

Not more that 1 charge from 1 set of batteries. It can happen that you get less than 1 charge. Capacity of AA alkaline battery is about 3000 mAh, what is equal or a bit less than the capacity of smartphone battery

You can't use regular alkaline AAs but you can use regular AA rechargeable batteries that are Nickel Metal-Hydrate. Duracell and Energizer sell those.And the unit comes with a cord to charge the batteries from a USB. Can't charge them with a wall outlet unless a cell phone charger that has USB is used.

If I am understanding your question correctly, the answer is no; you can also use alkaline batteries, but this recharger pack has a much better battery life and in the long run saves you more money.

I can't see why not. As I understand though, most rechargeable batteries don't last as long as a good quality alkaline type.

Nickel metal hydride rechargeables work fine as do lithium aa's. Alkalines do not have enough power.

No, it won't. You can use only 1.2-1.5V AA rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries.

Sorry, but I cannot answer this, as I have never tried other than alkaline batteries.
