A: Yes you can use regular alkaline AA batteries, although the run time will be greatly reduced. We recommend using rechargeable batteries with the same power rating as the batteries included with your Raz-Ir Max Infrared camera. As you can see below, alkaline batteries dont have the same power rating as rechargeables.

AA standard alkaline battery

1.5 Volts 1000 Mah

AA Rechargeables included with the Raz-Ir Infrared Camera
1.2 Volts 2500 Mah

When replacing the rechargeables, pay close attention to the Mah rating.
