You CANNOT charge your AZ252 Astro Zoom Camera. This model uses AA batteries for convenience.
We always recommend using name brand batteries for the best performance and longevity.
The AZ252 comes with (4) AA alkaline "STARTER" batteries that are intended to power on your AZ252, adjust the various settings in your camera and take some 'test' photos before using the AZ252 for the first time.
Remember to keep some extra AA batteries with your camera to easily swap out if needed.
