Does anyone know if this uses C or D batteries? Description says C but other websites say 4 D batteries?

They are C batteries, I love this. You will not regret buying it. It is more sanitary, garbage never smells and the outside needs just a quick wipe down, stays clean. Can't say enough how awesome it is. Worth every penny.

It is two c sided batteries!! I read these answers and since most people said D, I ordered those but when the trash can arrived it required C batteries. Hope this helps someone!

Mine uses 3 C batteries, but I found that AA batteries work just fine when used with AA to C adapters. This was a plus for me, because I have a large quantity of AA batteries, and happened to have some adapters on hand as well. I don't know why they don't just make AA the battery of choice. They're just as powerful, takes less space, and are generally cheaper to buy than C or D batteries.

I purchased the 'Nine Stars DZT-8-1 Infrared Touchless Stainless Steel Trash Can, 2.1-Gallon' for my mother (Dec 2014), and it uses TWO D-size batteries, not C, not FOUR. My answer is being edited because the picture shown (saw it after posting) for this question/answer shows the DZT-50-9, 13.2 gal can... I was perplexed by a few answers/comments I see today, like can dogs get in it, and some say yes, some say no - apparently the comments/questions/answer can relate to MULTIPLE sizes. The 2.1 Gal would definitely fall into the 'dogs can get into it' category!

D Batteries only. They seem to last quite some time though. I'm several months into use and they're still going strong.

Four D batteries, but seriously, we are very disappointed with the TMX, wish I could return it!! Waste of. Money, get the newer ones instead.

C batteries. Don't buy this thing... two of them have died on me! It's not well made.

It needs two D batteries. I have bought two of these things and they both stopped working after a few months.

Batteries only unless maybe you hack a DIY upgrade. It's 4 C batteries. I'm glad there isn't a cord to pull on or rip out!

It says right in the description that it uses 2 C-size batteries. What's up with people answering with just guesses . . .

It uses C batteries and doesn't come with the first set unfortunetly. But we've had ours for almost 2 months and haven't had to change them yet!:)

It takes 2 C Batteries, they last a long time, we just go to the dollar store and buy them, last 3 to 5 days.

No it uses 8 C batteries. I think there is one out there that looks almost the same that has a large rechargeable battery.

4 D batteries. You can also use the Coleman CPX6 rechargeable battery pack.

No. It takes 4 C batteries. We had a rechargeable one (another brand) that stopped taking a charge. This one does not require frequent battery changes though, and it is nice and bright! I'd buy it again!

I have used 4 D batteries (duracell), they have been working on a 7sec timer, two times a day and the batteries are 100% after three months. Hope this helps.
