Do you have to have rechargeable batteries in the unit for this charger to work?

No and just so everyone knows this will not charge rechargeable batteries if you do decide to use them. We use rechargeable batteries and they do not charge.

Hi Kari, I would imagine that rechargeable would be the way to go. Roger S.

Yes, sort of. These batteries have specific eflite-only plugs, so it's necessary to either use their charger or to get an adapter that goes from the battery plug to the charger. If you have that, then charge away!

yes you can but they must be rechargeable batteries but beware - it takes around 12 hours to charge batteries. I have another Sony charger that does it in a few hours but I read where the longer it takes to charge batteries, the better it is for the batteries. Doesn't JOLT them into being charged.

Yes. I charged my replacement batteries with the original charger and charged my original batteries with the new charger. Both components work fine.

No, the batteries can only be charged in their specifically designed chargers.

Yes. Regular batteries seem to hold a charge longer than the rechargeable batteries that are included.

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

No, it has to be AA batteries. Also you need to have batteries in to use the USB charger.

It does not , unfortunately. The connection to Shorai batteries is a proprietary plug in that is exclusive to that brand. This charger is amazing for Shorai batteries but , to my knowledge , it cannot be used with any other brand.

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.

No. I bought the rechargeable batteries for it and a separate charger for batteries.

Great question, never tried with rechargeable batteries but this is the best Mighty Bright unit hands down.

No, the charger comes with NO batteries. You have to order those separately.

No, but it uses AA batteries so you can get some AA rechargeable batteries and charger to use with it.

Yes it does, in my case, the quality of charger was bad, the pins are loose and the charger is useless, so I can get the batter charged only when it is inserted in phone. Does not see then point of bying extra batteries.
