I never took it mobile because on the inside of the battery compartment it
says

My question would be, why can't I use just four regular D cells (that's what
it
looks like it takes) and on the front of the radio at the bottom left corner
it
has a switch that says 'Batt.Charge' and a red light that lights up when you
flip it because I've done it.

Why can't I keep the charger in the 'off' position and run the four Dcells??
Would it hurt anything?

Well, I couldn't wait for an answer- so notice to anyone else- *Don't Bother.*

It means 'exactly' what it says on the inside of the battery lid. I popped 4
brand spanking new Dcells, kept the charger switch in the 'off' position and
nothing.:-(

I guess my only question left, and I can't answer this one Frank hint are
those batteries it said even made now? A couple of them I've never even heard
of, I'd really like to take that piece to the park, but where would I get those
kind of batteries that could be charged while playing (that's pretty cool FWIW
IMO.) :-( Waaaaaaaah
