why does it require batteries

The batteries are for the light in the planchette. They don't power movement or anything.

The planchett lights up.(cant spell)Makes it really heavy and hard to move.

The planchette has a purple glow. When you touch the planchette, it is activated. This is why the batteries are needed.

Only the planchette (pointer) needs batteries to make the purple light glow. You can use it without batteries or you can use a different planchette or even make your own. It's up to you. Whatever makes you feel "connected" to the board. I bought a different planchette on Etsy that I like better than the one that comes with this particular Ouija board. The better the "connection", the better the board will work for you. I hope this helps.

No. It does not require batteries. It uses the 24 volt power from the HVAC unit.

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

No batteries required. It is powered through the pins via whatever you dock it too, much like docking your phone/iPod.

This product does not require batteries! I don't know why they put that in the description. I own two of these now, and will probably buy more in the future. No batteries necessary! LOL.

Does not use batteries, you have to have it plugged into the electric outlet all the time.

No batteries required. It needs to be plugged into an electrical socket and comes with the power adapter.

No, it does not need batteries. I assume it operates on the current from the batteries being tested. They warm you to not prolong testing of a battery as it can run the battery down. It takes just a split second to get a reading.

Im not sure where you saw that it requires a battery. Its just a case. With a magnetic to keep it closed. There's nothing electronic about the case itself.

Hi there! Nope, it does not require batteries at all. It plugs into the wall. I believe it's a standard wall plugin to. So for example, it should fit into a surge bar no problem. Thanks!

I've had mine for almost a year and it works fine. But I didn't realize it needed batteries till I got it. Not sure if this helps at all, but I hope it starts working.

It must be plugged in. But it does have a battery because there is a CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

There is a battery housing built into it, so you don't need one. I bought a lawn tractor to use with it.

No batteries are required. Part of the assembly makes a battery that looks like it is functional but it's just made of Legos. No working parts. You have to use your imagination.

Not sure why you thought batteries were needed. It doesn't need batteries. It' a single line direct wire connect to the phone jack. As a matter of fact it's the only phone we have that will work during a power outage as our other phones are battery operated but the main base station does require power and the base itself does not have a battery.
