does this unit work with batteries?

I sent it back. It was so sensitive it wouldn't stop barking and then my German Shepard would bark at it. I bought it for my Mother and tested it out at my house first. I knew that the constant barking would make her very nervous.

Mine unit did not work at all... So I returned it next day ... I don't remember if both units work on batteries or not. Sorry

I do not believe it does. It has a 110 volt connection. I believe it has batteries; however we do not use it with batteries

No, you plug it in - Regular 110/120V No place for batteries - supposed to draw minimal power (equivalent to 30W light bulb??). Unit works great!

Yes it does, see the little silver button in picture one on amazon, it's actually an plug. At first it seemed that it only works on battery power, but I keep mine plugged in (to a battery backup/ surge protector) without a battery in it. And I have opened my unit 2-4 times a day- every day-for over a year without 1 problem.

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.

I never used it on batteries but i seem to remember in reading about that it did. We just moved and mine is in a box somewhere or i would look at it.

No this does not use batteries (not that I can tell anyway). Works well to test moisture, light & ph.

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

Bob, as I remember, it operates on batteries only. If I were you, I would consider another unit. I had a ton of problems with the one I purchased. It was new from the factory and had a lot of electronic problems.

Yes I believe it did come with batteries. Ours was working when it arrived and we have never put batteries in it yet.

Yes it does. This unit is not battery powered and must be plugged into a wall outlet to function.

No, it does NOT. It only works with 1.5V button batteries, and NOT with 3V button batteries.

I have not used batteries in my unit yet. I have seen in some reviews that the batteries don't last too long.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

My unit came without batteries, so I had to use batteries, unless I purchased a power cord. The unit requires six (6) AA batteries, which seem to last quite a long time, maybe around a year with normal usage.

No the unit only takes batteries, ive had mine for going on 3 months and it is still loud and clear with the batteries I originally got for it
