What kind of batteries does it use (w/o using adapter)?

The batteries will last for a very very long time ( well over a year with everyday use)and it makes the scale portable vs. being confined to one place with the A/C Adaptor.

It comes with an adapter to plug into 120vac wall outlet. It also runs on 4-aa batteries if you want. I use the wall adapter so I don't know how long the batteries would last.

Not exactly sure what you mean by an A adapter - but it runs on three AA batteries. I haven't had great luck using rechargeable bats, but new Alkaline batteries put out a ton of light from this little thing, and if you remember to turn it off - it lasts a long time!

This uses 2 CR123A batteries. Get good ones, don't cheap out (any std brands-duracell, energizer, surefire, or batterystation).

First, thanks to Kevin for telling us that the adapter is a 12volt adapter (from the label). I just want to add that my battery pack - as I suspected - outputs 9 volts; the six AA batteries are indeed in series. Therefore, I suspect anything from 9-12 volts should work. Also worth noting is that when my batteries died the other day, I just rotated them and am getting some more use out of them; I expect to have a power source fabricated by the time I need to replace the batteries.

Not sure about adapter . Would have to check on specifications also low battery warning havr to check online.

Hello Todd,The same adapter is used, so no issues there. The battery is as expected; works as it should.

It uses 18650 batteries, go to batteryjunction.com and order them there. They have great prices.

There is no AC adapter. It's battery operated by D batteries. I only activate it when I'm going to be away for one night or more (about once a week) but I'm still on the original battery for 6 months now.

The adapter only allows the use of batteries that otherwise wouldn't fit, Neither the adapter nor the battery (or the equipment it powers for that matter) contains any low-voltage cutoff circuitry that I know of. You will know the battery is low on charge simply through its exhibition of degraded performance. Hope this helps.

It works with batteries, but I believe it can also be used with a power adapter.

yep it just plugs into the original one. It uses the same 9 volt battery and has a long cord. It works well and does the job, but batteries don't last as long. I hard wired my DC adapter to an AC plug-in and that worked well for me...."no batteries" yeah !

From what I remember it came with a lot of cards. I don't remember it using an adapter. I only remember it using batteries. Sorry for the lack of information. I threw it away not long after purchasing it.

Mine takes 3 AA batteries, so its a 4.5 volt system. I don't have an adapter because I don't use it inside. I love it because it's "portable." Great little radio. Picks up everything. I used it when hiking and camping on the Appalachian Trail. Just put 3 new AA batteries in it, and it will run for countless hours.

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter
