It uses AA Alkaline batteries. I opted for this one because of that. In the event the batteries die all I have to do is put in new ones that I keeo with it as spares instead of having to plug it in and wait for it to charge. Hope this helps

I don't remember what battery it takes because mine had the batteries were soldered in and I couldn't use it anymore!

I wondered too about the battery. Way back at the first Q. in Aug. of 2013, it was stated that it uses LR44 or A76 Battery. Those are easy to find and pretty cheap. I'm ordering it now. If it is different, I will post back.

it uses AAAA batteries. A little harder to find than some, but not that bad.

Not sure,but I need a new battery. Do you or anyone else know where I can get a battery

I don't recall what battery it uses as it only worked a couple of times despite replacing the battery, so I got rid of it. What can one expect from something so inexpensive while still making a profit off it? It was cheap in price and cheaper in actuality. Don't bother getting it.

I use whatever batteries I have lying around. The overheating ones were generics.

Mine was labeled something else, but most brand name manufacturers contract out batteries and just slap their own sticker on it.What I can tell you the battery I got was a decent one, lasted about 3-4 hrs and worked with all power states and levels both windows and Linux. Just saying your results and mileage may vary, contact a professional if you get mileage or results longer than four hours

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have a security camera system at my farm and this type of battery goes in it. It was dying so I finally found the identical battery on Amazon to replace the dying one.

It takes a Cannon Battery PackNB 4L 3.7V 760mAh (L-ion) I picked up a spare battery from a drug store camera shop like Wal Greens It works as well as the original battery, which I have used extensively for about 3 years. Replacement batteries are relatively cheap but you need a battery charger too. Great Camera!! I am an appraiser and have used this camera for at least 14 years. The replacement battery numger is NB4LH 3.6V 1000mAh Li-on

I must AMMEND my former statement!!! A DUMMY battery is NOT A DEAD one. They are actually sold as dummies by companies and are cheap. I was lucky enough to have been corrected by RbwNY on July 7th. He/she informed me of this and added that pairing a 'dead' battery with the Li-on s can cause damage, etc. to the equipment. I should have known this as I know that pairing even an alkaline with a on-alkaline is NOT recommended. My apologies to everyone out there who has read my former comment. And a BIG THANKS to RbwNY for the help and advice!!!

It uses the super common BL-5C BL-5B BL-6M batteries. You know them, they are used for digital cameras and a bunch of different cell phones. They are super inexpensive. I picked up a couple for 5 bucks! BTW, this radio rocks. I get great reception of FM and AM and I get decent shortwave using a small active antenna I have. You will love it.

Hello, I don't know, your best bet (probably) would be to email them and ask... seems there a jillion batteries out there.

Those flat lithium batteries, like the kind that go into a garage door opener. But no, I have several of these and have yet to successfully replace the battery in one. I'm usually pretty good at that stuff.

To anyone else wondering the same thing to this question. It uses 2 AAA batteries. I didn't see the details about this anywhere else on the page about this. But if you are wondering the same thing I did then this is the answer. 2 AAA batteries. I'm contacting Amazon.com regarding the person who answered me and let them know that there are trolls on http://amazon.com. Little kids should not be allowed to answer questions.

I purchased one last Christmas. I don't remember what kind of batteries it needed. It did work great.
