does this use batteries

It uses batteries in the controller to charge a capacitor in the helicopter. The charge lasts more than long enough to break the drive gears in the first or second flight so it will no longer fly. I had no response from numerous email and calls to world tech toys. Save your money...

The remote does. Rechargeable on the copter itself. You can recharge it via USB, or via the batteries in the remote!

Yes it does. Please read all the reviews on this product becoming ordering. I had a terrible time with this product and a replacement product. It is not worth the money and breaks very easy. Good luck!

No batteries. This is not an amplified device so therefore no batteries are used.

It doesn't use batteries. It works like the igniter on a BBQ. I believe its called piezo electric.

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

No. It is battery powered. Batteries last about 6 months. It is a great item.

If it doesn't have an electrical plug attached - then no. I bought two: 1 uses electricity and the other uses batteries.

Nope. No batteries. This is a purely non-electronic instrument. You blow in it, it makes sound. (Think of a big harmonica with one hole to blow into instead of several.)

Yes it does need batteries. I gave this to my grandson about a year ago and I can't remember what type of batteries it takes but he loved it.

No it does not use batteries. The power cord comes out in the back of the unit.

Yes, it does use batteries quickly. It is preferred to use rechargeable nickel-cadmium or even better, lithium ion. Depending upon your usage, you can get a few hours usage on a fresh set of batteries.

Yes it does, but not the batteries. I Recommend you buy two sets (6 batteries) due to the amount it uses. You'll always have a set ready.

No it takes AA batteries.I invested in the lithium batteries which have a longer lasting life. Well worth the extra cost.

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.
