Someone said it wont work if using the AA battery adapter. Have you used it with AA batteries or only the rechargeable batteries?

Works fine with six AA batteries. Make sure they're fresh and you load them properly (positive & negative)

Just with the regular batteries. Haven't even tried it, and I think I've already disposed the AA battery adapter. Sorry couldn't help.

I use it with rechargeable AA all the time! Make sure the batteries are properly paced.

i've used it with both rechargable and AA batteries. the AA worked for me, but had two negatives in comparison to the rechargables: it felt heavier, and the battery life was shorter. if your adapter for the AA isnt working properly, it might be the unit. have you tried using the rechargable batteries?

Not by itself, but with an adaptor it does work. I use the Bluecell AAA to AA adaptors, they cost about $5 for a set of 8 and are available on Amazon. They work great.Bluecell 8 PCS Clear Color AAA to AA Battery Holder Converter Adaptor + Bluecell Cable Tie

I never used it with batteries. But, I remember when I ordered this item the description said it only rotates with the adapter.

I bought and use it exclusively for AA rechargeable batteries. But the product literature very clearly states that it will work on AA and AAA and adjust the charging current appropriately - so I am not sure what you are questioning.

I just tried mine, and it worked fine. Be sure that the button end of each battery is against the flat contact, not the spring contact, and that they are in securely. Spin them in their slot. That fixes a lot of problems. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, trying to fix a toy we had found. I put new batteries in, to no avail. I took the entire electronics apart, even soldering on jumpers to bypass the circuit board. Nothing. Finally, I put a meter on the output of the battery box. No output!. I spun the batteries in their seats, and Voila! Also, the button end of the battery holder goes in first. Be sure the button contact on the battery holder springs back when you push it in. That's really all that can go wrong with it. Good luck!

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

we use rechargeable AA in there all the time and have no problem. This is our second one. They tore the first one apart. They lve that thing

I put new C batteries in it. I did not try it with an adapter- but the item did not work. The stems holding the planets would not allow your planets to circle properly it it did work. Save your money and find another product or send this one back right away.

I have the new version which uses 6 AA batteries. I now change batteries every week so they go pretty fast. There is built-in no port for an adapter but you can use rechargeable batteries. Or get someone to create an attachment for the adapter

You can use a regular AA battery or you can use the rechargeable 3.7 volt battery. It works fine with the AA battery but it is quite a bit brighter using the 3.7 volt battery. With either battery it is a quite impressive little light for it's size. I have purchased several.

Only if you use batteries. I don't know if you could buy an adapter though.

I would think it would work with the adaptor. All I can say though is the batteries didn't last very long here in the US, I don't know if the adaptor would effect the lifespan of the batteries or not. It takes about 12 hours to charge and should last a day or two. Mine barely made it 24 hours after about 8 mos of use.

I'm not sure if an ac adapter is available. It is intended to work with batteries. Two double A's last a long time with LED. An ac cable would probably be awkward.

Mine turns on with the car adapter it doesn't turn on with battery because the battery doesn't last. If it doesn't turn on with the adapter correctly then feel free to return it.

I too have never used the batteries. It uses 4AA batteries. The instruction book does not give a total time for constant use in draining batteries; booklet does recommend using a timer set for 60 minutes to "help conserve battery life" and blankly states that you should use adapter for long usage..no help there! The impression is for several days on an hour timed shutoff once a night. Extra AA batteries don't take up much room.
