Comes with rechargeable battery. No need to buy anything to start taking pictures.

No. It comes with just the one. Advisable to get an extra and keep them charged. Particularly several are needed for use in the movie mode. One battery lasts only thirty minutes of filming, but lasts a long time for still pictures.

No you must buy the batteries for it. They come in packs of 2. They are not expensive.

Yes, it came with the battery. I did not like it because it was very difficult to program. In fact, I gave-up on it. I bought a Highgear and it works very well.

It came with a battery in it. I have been using it for 7 months (I use it at work many days a week) and have not had to change the battery yet.

Yes it comes with a battery. It uses a CR123 lithium battery. I had mine in it for a while. I use it maybe once a week. And no this is not a re-chargeable battery. Very good unit!!

Yes it comes with a battery, so seller should include it. However, I always purchase a second battery for every camera and carry that too!

I would buy another one when the one I have now dies, but I don't need a second one while my first one is still working. Yes, mine did come with a battery and charger when I bought it.

It uses AA battery but it comes with one, so you don't need to buy it separate.

No it doesn't come with a battery, I suggest a LiPo like sold here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00713WUF2

No, it doesn't come with the battery. It just gives the battery information in order for you to know which batteries it works with

It only comes with one battery but you can purchase an extra. We like ours a lot because it is so articulated.

It comes with a battery, and you can replace it with the same type when the original runs down. It takes a CR2 battery.

Ask the seller, if it is not in the ad. Mine came with a battery. I had everything else, didn't need anything.

This one comes with a battery and a charger. There are some for sell without battery or charger for around $7.

It comes with one battery included. I don't know where you get the replacements. I bought 3 of these. Not impressive if you are giving them as a gift. They look as though they are worth about $5.... They do make a loud sound, however, that could deter any burglar, I believe.

Yes, it does come with a battery. However, the life in use is relatively short (250+/- shots). So, if you shoot a lot of pics or are going to do an assignment, you will probably want a 2nd battery. It does not come with a memory card, so you'll want a couple of those also.
