One review states the remote doesn't use "normal" batteries. Please exactly what batteries does the remote require?

I own this setup. The remote doesn't use AA or AAA batteries. It uses the flat-button type battery -CR2032 battery (1 - included). You can get them cheap on amazon, but they are also available at your local retail store or pharmacy.

like a watch battery.... but I will never buy from this company on line again... the system did not work.... they charged me to send it back and then charged me again to ship another.... shipping was supposed to be no charge ... I recommend if you need something .... try Radio Shack ... they have always helped me find exactly what I need and they carry sound systems too... but if you already have one ... just take the remote into Radio Shack and they will find the battery you need for the remote.

I'm not sure. The remote in the picture is what I ordered because it looks like the one I had. It came with batteries already in it and worked right away. That's all I can tell you.

Remote has a battery but batteries are not included with candles which is a pain-each needs 2 "C" batteries which makes them kind of heavy.

It depends on which remote you have. I have remote model # XRS 500 and it uses 2 AAA batteries.

The remote is great. It does burn through batteries. I don't have Direct TV.

The unit uses the AAA batteries and the remote uses a CR2032. The controller batteries are expensive $4 - $5 a piece. I just purchased a pack of 5 for $5 on Amazon.The batteries last about five weeks. I use my unit Monday - Friday and run it for a good part of the day.

The candles take two AAA batteries, the remote uses one of those flat round batteries. I just returned a set of these andles because the remote stopped working.

The remote does not come with batteries. It takes AAs. Within the heli, there is a small battery that is charged by the remote. So you need to get batteries for the remote.

Doesnt need any setup, is the original remote. You just put the batteries on and start using it.

Mine came with a spare set of batteries for the remote and the tags. You should be able to get batteries wherever batteries are sold -- I have seen them in my local supermarket. Certainly Radio Shack would carry them.

Can't really say for sure. We've been using our Logitech Universal Remote for several months now without having to replace the batteries.

Triple A batteries for the unit. The remote comes with a battery (watch?). The batteries for the unit lasted about five weeks of wearing five days per week.

Since I'm fairly certain it takes standard, or rechargeable AA batteries, I guess it depends upon what kind of batteries you use. I bought two devices and also had plenty of batteries on hand, so that the area would always be covered. It's a very good deal for the price, and the battery for the remote is still the working original.

The remote I purchased came with the battery. If it doesn't, just go buy one at the drug store.
