Can you charge the batteries without having to set the radio in the unit, Just swap out batteries and go?

Not really. You can easily open the Radio's battery door, remove the battery-pack, insert a freshly-charged battery-pack, and close the battery door, without losing any of your Radio settings. But, the original batteries are packaged as 3 AAA's sheathed together as a single battery-pack, so I don't know if you could easily fit that battery-pack in an external charger. Finally, looking inside the battery compartment, it also looks like you could use 3 individual standard rechargeable AAA's instead of a battery-pack. So no, I don't believe the battery-pack can be easily charged outside the Radio body, but yes, using individually AAA's you can charge the AAA's outside of the Radio, then insert into the Radio and go. I bought the extra charger because I had two Radios but only one charger, and wanted to give one Radio permanently to an elderly neighbor, who therefore needed his own charger. The extra battery-packs are a bonus; I'm saving them for day when the original battery-packs start losing their oomph.

This radio has rechargable batteries and and an adapter to charge them, so if the device you mention has 120volt output, yes you can.

You can use any standard electronics adapter that can be connected to the radio with a USB cable. The radio has a mini-USB socket for charging. It will only charge rechargeable batteries in the radio and doesn't recharge if the radio is running at the same time.

Yes, you can just use the charging cord to charge it, no need to have the station.

Yes, you can. However, I'm not currently using a battery. The best batteries cost around $500.00, almost the same as the unit itself.

The radio has a rechargeable battery that has a charging cradle that sits on a desk or counter and plugs into the wall to charge. You can also use regular alkaline throw away batteries as well. I only use the rechargeable battery and charger, works great.I hope that helps,Mike

The radio can run on AC adapter (not included). Not sure if this will recharge the batteries.

Yes, you can change batteries in the radio. Did I say you can "charge batteries" WITH-IN the radio? (Must be the glasses. I read it wrongly.) NO! You cannot charge batteries "WITH-IN" the radio. I recommend using alkaline d-cell batteries. All the same brand and replace the batteries as needed.

You do not need to buy a charging unit, the package containing the radio has an accompanying plug-in electrical cord to play the radio. When plugged-in to an electrical outline, the battery is also automatically recharged!

No workaround sorry you need a new battery. The batteries on these radios only last a year if you use them regularly. It may appear to be charging when off but it only holds a small charge. Look at the dock if the light is blinking for an extremely long time time to replace it

Yes. In fact, do not load the battery case with 1.5V batteries. With that voltage, the radio will not transmit.

Yes, the batteries will work if the electiric goes out. I would suggest that you purchase Nickel Cadium (Rechargeable) batteries This radio is capable of charging the batteries without having to remove them. This is a great radio, you will like it.

Yes you can but not advised. It will go down to a trickle charge when batteries are fully charged. ok

You can if you want to use re-chargeable batteries in the remote .Best Regards,Glen DeKleinA Bit Of Everything

I don't have the unit anymore. But yes you can get a converter. Batteries Plus or RadioShack probably has what you need.

The charger can backup your radio station presets and those sorts of things if that's what you mean. Usually 9 volt batteries are used in the same way at autoshops when replacing the battery.

Yes you can. I just rotate my batteries so they are always charged. These batteries last longer than the battery that came with the camera. Very satisfied with my purchase!
