Of course you can. It would be worthless if you could not recharge the batteries.

At the risk of sounding sarcastic, what do you think? You need a new battery every 100 miles?

Can you charge your camera with outt the charger and with the batteries?

The camera operates on batteries,weather nicad( rechargeable) or alkaline or lithium. So no matter what,you must recharge batteries. If you purchase rechargeable batteries and the charger, you can recharge them outside the camera. If you don't recharge batteries with the supplied charger,you will shorten the life span of the batteries or kill them.


My digital camera is eating my batteries in about one minute then if i take them out for about 30 seconds then put them back in i get about another minute then have to recharge them.?

It sounds like your batteries won't hold their charge and need replacing, but before you do that, discharge them completely , for example by putting them in a torch with a bulb and then leaving it on until they are flat. (I am assuming you are using AA batteries). Then recharge them and see if it is any better. If not, get new ones - I would suggest you buy "Eneloop" brand AA batteries as they are very low-discharge : standard NMH rechargeables batteries lose their charge in a month when they are not even in the camera, unless you keep them in a cool place such as in the butter compartment in the refrigerator. Try it out.

Can a battery charger also test a battery?

A battery charger can be used to test a battery if the charger includes a voltmeter, so you can read off the voltage. Note: A battery charger is designed to be used only for rechargeable batteries. It can be very dangerous to try to use a battery charger to test or recharge normal non-rechargeable batteries.


Is recharge an adjective?

Longer battery range, faster recharge time and batteries resistance to blunt deformation.
