Hi there, There are several types of rechargeable batteries available. Do *not* ever attempt to recharge a battery which is not specifically designed to be recharged. Ray-O-Vac makes some good rechargeable Alkaline batteries. You can purchase the Ray-O-Vac rechargeable batteries and the charger which is specifically designed to recharge those rechargeable Alkaline batteries at, among other places, Wal-Mart. Another choice is the Nickel Hydride (NH) rechargeable batteries. The NH batteries are a bit more expensive than the alkaline ones but the NH batteries can be recharged a lot more times. You can also purchase the NH batteries and the charger which is designed to recharge the NH batteries at Wal-Mart and Radio Shack among other places. I use the NH batteries and have had excellent luck with them. HTH...

Isn't it? Please, I would like to know what kind of batteries are those that allow recharge, if it's easy to recharge the batteries and if the charger is expensive.
