Q: QuestionCan these walkie talkies also use regular batteries, i.e. in place of the rechargeable battery packs that come with the unit? Is yes, what size batteries and how many for each walkie talkie?

Asked 4 years ago by Fuzzmeist.

• A:Answer This was answered before to a question about replacing with regular AA or AAA batteries. They replied no must use rechargeable batteries. However, they didn't say it couldn't be individual RECHARGEABLE AA or AAA batteries. But these come with a battery pack that stays in the radio while you dock the radio on its charger. Replacing the packs should really be the question. Someone from manufacturer should've responded to this question. If no one at Best Buy can answer the question I'd recommend you contact Midland. First I'd see if Best Buy sells the rechargeable replacement battery packs. Good luck.

Asked 1 year ago by OldGuard.

• A:Answer f you're looking for a Midland radio that offers similar capabilities, the Midland LXT600VP3 is a great option to consider. It does not have the capability to auto turn on when an incoming call happens if turned off.

Weather Alerts: Like the RX380, it also has NOAA weather alert capabilities, making it suitable for outdoor use and emergencies. Rechargeable: The LXT600VP3 comes with rechargeable batteries, similar to the RX380's rechargeable setup. Both radios are designed for outdoor activities and emergency preparedness, making the Midland LXT600VP3 a solid alternative to the Cobra RX380 .
