Yes. It needs a few big batteries, enough to give it some extra weight and two AAA for the light scope.

It does require batteries. I think they were AA. That's all I have in the houses and don't remember having to buy them.

yes. I don't have it in front of me right now but it uses the small ones, like AA or AAA. I don't think it came with batteries, but it does require them.

no. But I have mine plugged in beside my chair. Just turn it on when needed. I have never put batteries in. If you travel you might want the battery option.

No batteries needed. It has a built in battery that recharges by plugging in the AC adapter. The battery has a very long life when you charge it.

Yes it requires batteries but it broke on Christmas day last year when my daughter opened it and tried to play with it.

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

I think I bought it in 2008 and have not had to change batteries. So I assume it doesn't need batteries.

No, it does not need batteries. It sits in a rechargeable base. When fully charged, you can remove it. This is a really nice razor and one I expect will last me a long time!

No, it's battery operated and I have to say I wish it did. The lights are very dim and the batteries burn out quite quickly.

no it does not need batteries. It only makes a noise when the shark chomps down on the car causing it to fall.

No. It needs to be plugged in since there is no battery pack on the controller.
