Nope. It's got a spring-load lever on the side of it. No batteries required.

NO. It uses the button type batteries and comes with the batteries. I love mine, the only drawback is it's hard to see what is on the screen without lots of light. The pic is deceiving about how easy it is to see what's on the screen.

I don't think it uses batteries, I think it's completely manual. You should double check tho, since I'm not certain.

No, it's battery operated and I have to say I wish it did. The lights are very dim and the batteries burn out quite quickly.

Yes it requires batteries but it broke on Christmas day last year when my daughter opened it and tried to play with it.

Yes mine does but the batteries last a really long time so you may not need it.

It does not. It's far and away better than a popular model that does use batteries.

No it takes AA batteries.I invested in the lithium batteries which have a longer lasting life. Well worth the extra cost.

No batteries, you have to plug it in. It does work, beautifully, and so energy efficient.

no, it doesn't. It runs off 2 AAA batteries. Supposed to last 12 to 18 months.

No, but the item is good enough to let it run on batteries. You can buy rechargeable batteries with a charger, a good idea.

No, it does not come with batteries. I wish that it had a rechargable battery instead. Costly. :\
