NO

Uh no not really... seeing as it was from ebay it would be unlikely anyway.

I think putting in alkaline batteries then plugging in the charger would be considered "mishandling."

Did you read the instructions that came with your item? If you followed the directions correctly and it malfunctioned, you are entitled to a refund. It's that simple.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Do the CD directions recommend leaving the dead batteries in and trying to recharge with the wall converter? If not then wouldn't that fall under mishandling or abuse?

 

[eshtog]

in the manual it says to use alkaline batteries!

 

[eshtog]

and theres this switch on the side of the cd player that you can switch to charge on, or charge off, so the ac adaptor is used to charge the batteries so I dont think I did anything wrong

 

[eshtog]

it also says if batteries are low the need to be replace or "recharged"

 

[badluck]

I don't understand what your problem is....as I stated before, follow the directions.....if you followed the directions and it f-d up then get a refund......

Standard alkaline batteries would need to be replaced, rechargable batteries would need to be removed and recharged in their proper device...

I'm so grateful that I do not sell electronic devices on ebay.

Are you saying that you tried to recharge standard alkaline or heavy duty batteries??

so it says to use alkaline.. but does it say specifically that you can recharge alkaline batteries? i would think that it would say for optimum use, that alkalines are best. but to use rechargable nimh or nicad batteries for the recharging feature.

 

[boi]

Yeah, Alkaline batteries were made to be 1 time use batteries, not to be charged.

 

[erikiksaz]

I believe it was your fault.

alkalines = not rechargeable
nimh, nicd = rechargeable

warranties are for factory defects.


no cd player can charge alkalines. it will say so in the manual. it can charge a ni-cad if you have ni-cads , its just for convenience. your not knowing this is not cause for a refund.

basically if you bought that from ebay from me and tried to get a refund, i'd say no. if you said anything i'd say you were very dumb. i mean it would be unethical to even return that to bestbuy or something, or send it in for warranty repair, because stupidity is not covered under warranties or store return policies.
