Two AAA batteries? Really? Don't most pocket radios require two ***AA*** batteries. Don't they? Why am I confused, mother?

I didn't know there was a rule about transistor radios using only AAs. This is a tiny radio (2" x 3 1/2" x 3/4") that must use smaller batteries. It is perfect to hide in a jacket pocket when you are at a wedding, funeral, ballet, or any other occasion you are obligated to attend when you really want to listen to a playoff game or other big game.

This radio does, indeed, use two AAA batteries. It is a dandy little radio that is perfect to put in a purse or pocket.

For power from the speakers, you would want 2 or preferably 3 AA batteries. 2 AAA batteries sounds like it's for headphones only.

Hi Jay, Could you send me photos ? In fact, you should consider the pins that make contact with power of Radio and the pins for recharge. ( when you put in base to recharge) The main problem of this batteries is because it is more wide than radio support. It forces the back cover of radio, and it not ease to close when you put it in radio. You need you tape to fix it. ( the radio look likes a old radio - terrible ) Another point is check the voltagem and mainly the electronic current, that for this product is 700mAh. Please if you want you can send my a email with photos. andregamaral@bol.com.br Regards Andr

Yes, three (3) "AA" per radio. Read a previous answer that stated no. Looked in manual before answering this. Unequivocally, yes you may.

I've been meaning to comment on this to Amazon because somewhere in their verbage they say "not standard" batteries, but it takes two AA batteries. They really need to change that on their description.

It uses the super common BL-5C BL-5B BL-6M batteries. You know them, they are used for digital cameras and a bunch of different cell phones. They are super inexpensive. I picked up a couple for 5 bucks! BTW, this radio rocks. I get great reception of FM and AM and I get decent shortwave using a small active antenna I have. You will love it.

Sorry. Didn't know they took batteries. Guess i need to check into that too!

I finally found that 3 AA batteries, not included, are needed. Amazon should add this to the description.

4 C type batteries in mine. I don't think AA batteries would ever do. However fully charged C batteries last for a week at least.

Mine did not come with batteries--they may have stopped supplying them. Takes 2 AAA.

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

Yes, I was told at a battery store that you can use AAs when I took the radio in to them. Just make sure you orient them correctly. I have had only one battery problem so far.

Oh dear... I bought it last year for my grand daughter and had it shipped directly so I never saw, but I looked at the product details and it says there are two AAA batteries included. Hope this helps.

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

One AAA battery...the antenna is built in and produces terrible reception...I've been very disappointed in this product.

The radio is not designed to charge batteries internally. An alterative would be to have twelve batteries on hand. When the six battries in use show signs of weakening, they can be put into an external charger and be replaced with the other six batteries on hand. This process can be repeated indefinitely.
