Betsy I bought two of these. They take 4qty size "D" batteries. Important also note the 8" wide towel refills are available in two inner diameter sizes... 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" diameter. Only the 1-3/4" will fit this dispenser! Hope that helps.

Yes it does, but very little. I replace the batteries about once every six months.

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.

No. If I remember correctly, it runs on either AA or AAA batteries. The only way it is "rechargeable" is if you have rechargeable batteries and recharge those

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

It works fine on the battery. Last a long time as well. You do not need to plug it in to make it work if the battery is charged.

Unfortunately no. It runs on ordinary AAA batteries. Try rechargeable batteries to save cost.

Yes. I can't remember if it came with batteries or not but it does run on batteries.

Yes it does, runs on ac or batteries. Cord un-plugs from radio, but does not have room to store it.

No. I tis designed to test off the shelf batteries. I personally have used it to test rechargables. It works on some but not on others. Have no idea why.

No it does not run on batteries. It has to be connected to an ipod cord or dock.

Yes. I always use it with rechargeable batteries. It doesn't last for 18 months though.

Yes, strangely enough, it does. But even though it takes batteries, you still have to wind it up to get it to work.

No. Batteries only. Works very well, but you'll need to use good batteries with this. I used cheap dollar store brand batteries first, and they didn't last very long.

It can run on batteries, but it comes with a plug in adapter to run off electricity.

It takes 3 AAA batteries....so I guess if you have rechargeable AAA batteries they should work.
