This is the first LeapFrog device that does not advise AGAINST using rechargeable batteries! Hip-hip-hooray!!! -says my pocket book!

Try to learn more about the game or app before you buy. The LeapPad goes through the 4AA batteries it needs to work pretty fast. Pick up some rechargeable and a good charger to save time and money.
