That's an interesting question. As reported in my original report on this product, the unit I received was non-operational. If I were travelling, thanks to your question, I would think about using electronic devices with external power packs to recharge batteries. (th)

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.

It is not rechargeable! It's a fully charged battery. If it's not running your device, alarm, etc. it's either the wrong battery or defective.

We use Duracell batteries and have used it for several hours. We have not used rechargeable batteries with it.

It does not have a rechargeable battery. It has no battery. It is design to use the power from your car or from an AC wall outlet.

Jmmm.... Well, like all things with rechargeable batteries, you need to unplug them when they are fully charged, because you are then only killing the batterie, it you think like this, you don't have all the time your cellphone connected to the charger....I have the same model like you... And it's had been like six moths and It still works perfectly.I hope that my comment help you.PD. do not have your electrodomestics with rechargeable batterie connected all the time, that include your laptop for example....Have a nice day and I hope that you can fix your BT3500B ;)

I'm just using non rechargeable batteries. In the past I used rechargeable but they run out faster.

It's not rechargeable! It requires 2 AAA batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries, though.

We use rechargeable AAA batteries with no problems. Makes sense to us because regular batteries won't last very long and will be expensive for you. We've had our set for almost a year and "knock on wood" they work just fine with the rechargeables.

I think it's just because the battery is fully or almost fully charged. You can try to use it for a while then recharge to make sure.

Right. This one isn't rechargeable, it needs to stay plugged in. They do have other models that are rechargeable, I believe. They are usually a bit more expensive. But keep in mind that those batteries will slowly die over time.

You can use rechargeable batteries, but there is no built-in rechargeable battery.

It is not rechargeable. Once its drained, its dead. The alarm system draws off the battery only when the wired power source goes down for whatever reason. Unfortunately ig either sat and discharged or was defective and not able to hold a charge. Batteries will go bad if they have been sitting for too long.

You shouldn't have to deal with batteries since you can charge it. If it won't take a charge, I'd contact who you bought it from.

I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I didn't see anything on the packaging restricting the use of rechargeable batteries.

Remove and re- charge. We simply used replaceable alkaline batteries in our circumstances. Did not use rechargeable batteries.
