Is there an alkaline (AA) battery option for the 375 Field Communicator?

No. The 375 Field Communicator uses rechargeable NiMH batteries only. Commonly used in cell phones, these batteries can be quickly charged in 1-2 hours, have no appreciable memory effect, and are rated for hundreds of charge cycles. The unique design of the 375 battery pack (patent pending) was essential to achieving compliance with current worldwide intrinsic-safety approval standards.
