to power the backlighting in the compass. under low light situations you won't be able to see the compass without the light.

So the electronic range finder will work. I like the binocular. Works great.

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

No batteries needed. This is a handheld /supported by the cord that goes around your neck. It is a rather light weight clear plastic. Any light would come from a lamp or daylight. I can see that it looks like it might be lit in the photo.

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.

The product I have does not require any batteries, maybe if there is one to purchase with a 'light' added it may need batteries, however the stand alone needs none!

You can buy a power supply to eliminate the need for batteries. Check the instructions or go to google for more information.

There are no batteries required - that may be an issue to report to amazon on the product details (there is a link for that).

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.

NO batteries needed. I didn't put batteries in mine when I received it, but I just now opened it up and it had factory-supplied batteries. So, I took them out, then turned on the scale (AC adapter only), and it worked just fine.

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

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 does not use batteries. You have to either plug it into an outlet or the car.

It uses an electrical cord, and no, it does not have the spot for batteries.
