I have two questions that i don't seem to be able to find anwsers to.

1.) If you have rechargable batteries, will they recharge when the rcx =
is plugged in? (the circular plug on the back)

No, you need an intelligent battery charger to recharge rechargable
batteries.

2.) Is there some kind of power meter that tells the rcx how much =
battery power is left?

Yes, the battery voltage is tied to the AN3 analog input into the processor,
so you can read it directly from legOS or similar systems.
