Can you use alkaline AAA batteries with the Batseeker 1?

Yes, the Batseeker 1 will work with standard 1.5V AAA batteries, including alkaline batteries, but will not be quite as sensitive. For best performance, we recommend rechargeable Sanyo eneloop AAA batteries, which unlike most rechargeable batteries, have a shelf life of years. Being rechargeable, they are more environmentally friendly.

They do (or at least they used to) make AAA lithium and yes, you should be able to use them. Lithium are still 1.5-1.7 volts so there's no reason they shouldn't work.

These work with 3 AAA batteries , but I would recommend you buy the uv from a different company. This company is a rip off.

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

Rechargeable batteries work, however keep in mind that because rechargeables are 1.2V each, and alkaline batteries are 1.5V, you will be running the battery at a total voltage of 2.4V instead the the 3.0V under which the flashlight was designed. That means that you would be running the flashlight at a voltage of 80% less than it was intended. You WILL notice a difference in brightness. However, if that is not a problem for you it works just fine with rechargeable batteries.

Yes, they take AAA batteries, I get the best results with Energizer. They also EAT batteries like crazy - always have extra on hand and take them out when you are done using them.

Product description says 3 AAA batteries are required - you can use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries.

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.

No, mine had standard AAA batteries. I presume you could put rechargeable batteries in and then remove them for recharging but recharging with batteries in situ is not an option.Mark

You can use regular AAA batteries in these radios, but they don't last anywhere near as long as a single charge on the rechargeable pack (and rechargeable AAA batteries die even faster than regular AAAs), and AAA batteries CANNOT be recharged in the radio. If you have rechargeable AAA batteries, you must charge them using their own charger. This charger only works for the dedicated battery packs.

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.

Takes 2 standard AA Alkaline Batteries -but- Rechargeable NiMH Batteries will work too.

I'm not sure, because i've only used alkaline batteries in mine so far. But, you might ask one of the other buyers that use their lanterns often if they tried it.

I have not tried that because the batt. Lasts so long, but you should be able too.

yes, if the batteries you are using are lithium, the alkaline dont like cold, lithiums dont care, if you cannot find lithium C cells, you can get 1.5 v AA lithium, and use C adapter. will last just as long, relatively the same price

I'm guessing the answer is no.If you are referring to the same rock crawler I looked up, it takes 3 AA batteries. At about 1.5V per battery, that comes to about 4.5V total. This is an 11.1V battery, which will be way too much voltage.It's difficult in general to replace AA or AAA batteries with lithium versions because of the difference in voltage.You could try using a single cell lithium battery, the voltage may be too low (3.7-4.2V) but you could try. Do a search for "1s lipo" or "3.7V lipo" and avoid the tiny ones. If you know the mAh rating of your current batteries, try to match or exceed that with a new battery. Keep in mind you need a battery charger for these batteries. I'm guessing the answer is no.If you are referring to the same rock crawler I looked up, it takes 3 AA batteries.

You will have to check the user manual, if you do not have one, you can get it at the Nikon site, This link should take you there, https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15996. Copy and paste it into your browser address line. if the manual states it will use the EN-MH battery then your OK. Until then you should be able to use alkaline batteries - but check the manual first.
