Yes, they do, but although you can recharge them, the life for a discharge 
cycle is considerably shorter on a rechargeable battery than on the typical 
9 volt alkaline battery, and the shelf life is substantially shorter.  If 
you occasionally use your radio, you might find that the shelf life itself 
kills the battery before you would kill it on a comparable alkaline 
battery.  Consider that a Nickel Cadmium battery loses much of its charge 
in a 4 to 5 week period just sitting there doing nothing.

I still maintain that the original 9 volt alkaline can do the job 
reasonably well, if you just make some provision for shutting it off when 
you aren't using it.
