Does it work with batteries, and if so, which type ?

No. You plug it in. It's pretty powerful, so batteries would run out too quickly. Also make sure you wear the goggles!:)

I have one of these, it has no batteries, however, I know wal-mart has ones with batteries.

I doesn't come with any batteries. You could use rechargeable batteries, although I don't know how well they would perform.

uses AA batteries. Also it has a feature that will ask you what type of batteries are installed.

The one I bought and received was never working at all. I assume it can be on batteries. The product does not appear sturdy and reliable.

It only works by being plugged into an outlet. It is not made for batteries.

I apologize, it does use a battery. You plug in the receiver into the wall. I don't remember the battery type. Sorry. :)

It uses 8 X AAA batteries. Any AAA-type, including rechargeables, should work.

I bought it as a gift for a friend, so I haven't used it. I think it came with batteries, ready to use, but I have no idea what kind. Sorry

Related questions: if it uses batteries, what kind? Can you plug it into the wall?

NO. It uses the button type batteries and comes with the batteries. I love mine, the only drawback is it's hard to see what is on the screen without lots of light. The pic is deceiving about how easy it is to see what's on the screen.

Susan, it works with either batteries or an AC adapter but it doesn't come with the adapter. You can get it at Amazon for about $7; one is listed on the same page as the Eggspert. We've used ours with batteries during several games over a few days without changing the batteries, but because we don't use it very frequently I can't tell how long the batteries last beyond that. Hope that helps.

Yes, works with AC adaptor only. I don't even put batteries in unless I'm going to be using it where AC isn't available.

It's battery operated. But don't worry, it doesn't work with batteries, either.
