Takes AA batteries. I've had my Canons for ten years now. Most important - never use batteries that can leak. I use only Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries. They're great, much stronger than most rechargeables, and it's easy to forget regular alkaline batteries inside, and they will eventually leak and destroy your binocs. Guaranteed.

There are two regular AA batteries included, they really last for ever. I still have the same batteries for over a year and I use these very often. Overall the best binoculars ever, believe me, you will like them a lot ;-). I would buy them again, read my review, I did bought these after the first pair that I had. These are spectacular, awesome....!

Never replaced batteries--had binos for two years. Do not know what size but binos very good for intended purpose.

Two AA batteries are needed. Battery life depends on how often and how long you use the IS button. I am an avid hunter and part-time guide, so I am constantly viewing and assessing game, for long periods of time. I have gone through the batteries in 3 weeks to a month, sometimes less, but I use the button above and beyond the average person. I always carry two to four extra batteries in my backpack, so it's really no big deal. I have had the batteries last for a good 8 months during the off season. I believe that they could last a year or two, if used conservatively. The Canon 12x36 IS is simply the best binoculars I have ever owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two AA batteries are needed.

Two AA batteries are included with the binoculars. I'm sure battery life depends on how often and how long the binoculars are used. For bird watching, a few minutes at a time, while walking the dog, I assume that I will get a year or two from the batteries.

It uses 2 - AA and only had a week, but know binoculars in general, and I think they will last weeks or months. It just uses power only when the button is pushed. When you release the button they are just like regular binocs. They are perfect for astronomy, birding and scenery.

It takes AA batteries. I think it takes 8 batteries. I bought this product a while back and haven't changed the batteries yet. It does a very good job for me. Hope this helps you out.

I have no idea of the battery size...probably hearing aid size. You need a small screwdriver to open it. Have had it a year and it is still going strong.

You shoulldn't need AA batteries for anything. I don't remember the exact shipping dimensions, but I do remember the package wasn't very big....I want to say like 12" wide and 4 foot long or so.

It takes 4 AA batteries. The batteries I have used have lasted a long time. I haven't used rechargeable batteries in it yet.

It uses 4 AA batteries. It may be worth noting that when the batteries run out, all previously stored readings will be lost so you need to write the readings down if you want to save them. Hope this helps.

It takes two AA batteries. We brought extra batteries along when we took it on vacation to Disney World just in case it burned through them fast but never needed to replace them.

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

I use the Duracell AA batteries and I believe it takes 16 total. They last quite a while depending on usage.

It's a Christmas gift, so I don't know how many batteries it takes as it hasn't been opened yet. I checked the box, but it doesn't say. Sorry.

It takes 3 LR41 batteries, that are included. You're better off to take the batteries out if you not going to be using it for awhile. They can still make contact when unscrewed, draining them pretty quickly.
