Can these still be used after the battery dies?

Yes, just plug them in with the cord that comes with it. You don't have touch controls but it still sounds just as good.

Yes absolutely - just recharge them instead of throwing them away if shows "replace"

Yes! They are Metal hydride rechargeable batteries, which should last for years. You could also use AAA alkaloid batteries, but why would you.

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

There is no reason why they should not. I recall reading an article that suggests which type of battery to use. Rechargeable is best when the battery will be used more heavily. Alkaline when they will sit unused for long periods of time.

No, that is the only way I have used them. The batteries are fine after 1 month, and using them 4-5 nights a week for 8 hours or more.

I would assume so. They are rechargeable batteries and I have not had to replace them yet.

They are not made to accept battery's. You would have to use an external battery pack with an equal amp rating as the power supply output.

No, Daniel. You can use regular batteries. I use rechargeable batteries to have plenty on hand and I've found they last about five times longer than regular disposable batteries.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

Yes, you can use them but you would have to recharge them in their own charger as the fan will only recharge the built in batteries.

I am told no and the replacements are not rechargeable. They do have several years of life prior to failure.

I don't think so, but the batteries have lasted for about 5 months so far. Also, batteries are far safer...

The instructions say to only use the rechargeable battery that is included but I used regular batteries when it died one day and they worked fine. I only used them for a couple of hours then charged the unit again and have no problems since. I'm guessing you could also use any rechargeable AAA, but I've not had these long enough to run the included batteries out.

Yes. Put them in a dumb charger for a few minutes and they will begin to take a charge. You can then put them back into your smart charger and they will charge.This works for most but not all batteries that fail.

not easily -- they recharge themselves in normal operation. We havent done any thing to stress-test how long the batteries last before needing recharge.

I don't see why not, I personally don't use them anymore unless it's something with a built in li-ion.
