I cannot say for certain as I do not have one, but if it's anything like any other item with a NiCad battery, it does not come charged.

Yes it does. Everything you need is included. FYI, I started having problems with the battery but it may be my fault. Charged all night with only 20% charge when unplugged.

It does come with a battery but I have not been happy with the life of the batteries-I have replaced several of them.

Yes & an extra battery. Mine has been stored for some months. I pulled it out on Thanksgiving & the spare battery still had a full charge :-)

Yes, it comes with a battery and an external charger. You need to remove the battery to charge it. I prefer this over charging from the camera itself, because you can buy a backup battery and charge it while still using your camera.

Yes, it comes with the battery and usb charging cable. You'll need your own ac adapter or to plug it into a computer to charge it.

Hi Terry! Yes it does. Keep in mind that it takes quite a while in the initial charge or if you have not used it for awhile (at least 4 hours).

Yes it does. It comes with a battery, charger and is ready to go right out of the box asside from the initial charge, but it does not come with a spare battery.

It comes with its own battery that you have to charge. The battery lasts a LONG time and charges fast.

Yes it comes with a battery.. However the battery does not operate without it being plugged in. It's an aftermarket battery.
