The light takes 3 D batteries. Don't buy thiis light if you need any "real" light from it. The quality of light is very dim and only suffices as an accent light or for mood lighting. I use it as a night light in my bathroom.

Hello. D batteries. I believe 4 I love these. They're in my little girls room. I have not had to change the batteries yet. Love these. Especially for the price.

The one I just received today takes 6 AA batteries. So, not sure why the change from prior models. The package said to expect approx 200 hours of light before changing batteries.

I don't recall if it came with 2 batteries or not. But it only takes 2 standard AA batteries and they lasted a long time before I had to replace them.

It does not come with batteries. It requires three. Any AA batteries will work, rechargeable or otherwise.

David, they take 3 AAA batteries. They are a little hard to replace in that you must unscrew 3 screws on the back of the unit. But I use mine in an outside shed that has no light. They work very well.

They use 6AA batteries each. The battaries seems to last for a while; I haven't had to change mine yet. We've had them for a few months and have played with them several times.

4 AA batteries. Maybe it's 2 I don't remember. Either way there is a place in the case for spares.

One. I would not buy this brand again. Does not hold charge well and does not work all the time.

2 AAA batteries. I use rechargeable batteries. I also wish the light did stay on longer.

This item takes 10 AA batteries - 6 in the traveler and 4 in the remote. Lots of batteries, but my grandson loves it still after 2 years.

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

Just one. BTW it does not come with a power cord. You have to buy one. Batteries last about 5 hours.

Two AA batteries. They last for a very long time. We have't replaced batteries since we got it.

It takes 3 AAA batteries, Roy. I recommend buying the adaptor...it's approx. $10 and is well worth it.

I don't know how many batteries, you never have to replace them just plug it in to recharge the one that came with it. The charge last about 15-20 min.

It takes two AAA batteries. The batteries also last quite a long time. I've only replaced once since purchasing.
