Sorry, I can't answer your question. I got so frustrated with this toy I simply chunked it within 6 months. As I recall it takes AA batteries, (I forget how many), but it eats them up! Keep many spares for your holiday videos. Hope you have better luck than I had.

It takes 2 C Batteries, they last a long time, we just go to the dollar store and buy them, last 3 to 5 days.

It takes 4 AA batteries. The batteries I have used have lasted a long time. I haven't used rechargeable batteries in it yet.

I haven't timed them. I use it for about 10 or 15 minutes per day, and I have to change the batteries on average once a month.

this unit takes 6 AAA batteries. battery life is, obviously dependent on usage. my father uses it for about a half hour to 45 minutes, once per week and it has lasted a couple of months, but light output has dimmed. it is ok as a supplemental light but I wouldn't use it as a primary source

The standard battery gives you 8-10 minutes. Extended batteries are available that get you up to 20 or so.

D batteries. They seem to last a long time. Also when electric is available you can plug it in. Hope that helps. :)

It takes 4 AA batteries but they last a long time. I only use it occasionally as needed but the batteries last months.

You can't use regular batteries. You can only use the one included. They're expensive to replace if something goes wrong but I do like the product and have had no problems with it. I have 2.

Not sure what replacement batteries are needed. We use almost daily for about 45-60 minutes total. After months of use it still works well and can be seen from a distance of several hundred feet. Outstanding buy!

I cannot tell you exactly how long the batteries last but I do know that you can expect about one year of normal usage. The LCD screen is not color which helps with battery life. I have 3 of these remotes and have no complaints about performance or battery life.

It comes with batteries already installed. I'm not sure what type they are because we have yet to have to replace them.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

It takes 2 AAA batteries. They should certainly last 10 hours, but I would expect if you're going to use it every day, you would want to try rechargeables. I don't have any experience with them.

They come with batteries. Not sure how many because I've never had to replace them yet.

It takes 4 AAs. I use rechargeable batteries with no ill effects, except they don't seem to last as long as regular batteries.
