It uses AA batteries, but you have to peel off the orange cover, in order to get to the back screws.

I dont know. Have had it for several years and never needed to replace the battery.

Yes, it is battery operated. I can't remember if it is a AA or AAA but it is a common battery. It does have a light. It works really well. It is very easy to put it away without noticing the light is still on, which burns out the battery.

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

We had this about 6 years ago and I cannot remember which batteries it takes. Either AA or AAA.

It uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery pack. I brought a spare one as a back up and its worth it. You can't use AA or AAA batteries. I am happy as a clam w/ my Nikon S97.

It uses both a plug and batteries. I have only used it with the plug which would be your best bet. But if you used batteries it reqires 4 AA.

Yes, I believe it's aaa batteries. Be advised that it is very small, maybe a couple inches wide. I don't use it as it's too small for me.

It takes 3 AA batteries but you can also use an AC adapter. It doesn't come with one but it gives you the specifics of what kind to buy in the instructions.

BB, the light uses two AAA batteries. The batteries were included with the two lights I bought.

The people who report that this uses a AAA battery must have received a different product than I did. Mine came with a 23A battery - a small battery that I have never seen anywhere else and cannot buy at my local store (must be ordered on Amazon).

Yes, it takes AA batteries. The only bad thing was that the flash stopped working immediately. I still use it, but only in good light.

It uses AAA. We spent the money before our trip and purchased the energizer lithium ultimate. we start with regular AA that dies withn the first day or so. We then switched to the new set of lithiums. We came back with about 350+ pictures and about 8 short videos (15-20 sec) total.

Yes, it takes a AAA battery. You pull off the bottom section (twist and pull) and the battery slides out for replacement.
