Can I use it without the batteries?

Sorry, no! It needs batteries (4xAA) for the "magazine" (that grey and orange vertical part that lights up) and maybe elsewhere also. I hope this helps you.

Nope. It's got a spring-load lever on the side of it. No batteries required.

Does not use batteries, you have to have it plugged into the electric outlet all the time.

I'm not sure why that's part of the technical description but no, this item does not require batteries.

Yes it works without the batteries installed by just plugging it in. That's how I used it the first week before we went traveling and used it with the batteries as the power.

There is no battery needed. Alternatively, if you wanted to use a battery pack you probably can, but again, not needed. It comes with a Mini USB Male to Common (A-Type) USB Male Cable. Ive powered this from a laptop and had no issues. I also plugged it into an extra USB Adapter from an old phone and worked great.

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

No, this requires batteries. There is no option to run off electricity. It is still pretty good though. I have had it since christmas, probably is used 15-20 minutes every day, and still have not had to change the batteries.

Yes it can. It comes with an AC Adapter. I usually keep mine plugged in. There are no batteries.

No this does not need a battery. It is plugged into the wall. Also, the only way to turn it off is to unplug it.

you can but it will only last roughly around 60 hours depending on the batteries. That is a very wide range estimate, keep in mind.

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.

There is a battery housing built into it, so you don't need one. I bought a lawn tractor to use with it.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

Yes. You have the option of using batteries or the AC adapter, which is included.

No. Only via the AC wall adapter. Perhaps you could find a compatible car adapter, but it does not have batteries.
