Can anyone definitively answer what batteries this toy takes? There have been several different responses here saying different things.

We have the police cruiser. The remote takes a 9V and the car takes 3 AA batteries.

Hello Dr. Who - my son got this robot from Santa at Christmas time and it was used heavily for the first 3 weeks. Then since the end of January it has had about 3 to 4 hours of use a week and the batteries have not been changed yet or do them seem to be slowing down. Hope that helps.

I honestly don't remember for sure from the top of my head, but I am quite certain it was regular AA batteries. My daughter has been switching it on and off on regular basis for over 3 months now, so the batteries last. I'm really, really pleased with the purchase.

Sorry, I can't remember what type or how many batteries were needed for this toy. I do remember that the car was rechargeable, that's why I purchased it for my Grand Son, so his mom and dad would not have to purchase batteries time and time again.

D batteries. They seem to last a long time. Also when electric is available you can plug it in. Hope that helps. :)

It didn't come with batteries. I assume it would vary depending on the batteries. Honestly we don't use ours much so the batteries have lasted a good bit.

I called Leapster with that question and they do not rec rechargeable batteries b/c they aren't as strong as reg batteries even when they are new and thus the game may not work properly. Logically though, I'm wondering the diff. in the batt pack and rech batteries. Hope this helps.

We're using the regular batteries required for this bouncer, not rechargeable. We have used it for 2 months now, 20-40 min a day and haven't changed batteries yet..

It uses an LR44 battery (that is the same one that is in virtually every small noisy child's toy) an AG13 will also work.

I've been using the toy only with standard non rechargeable batteries. I have no report to give for the rechargeable ones.

This game uses batteries. We have played it for one year now and have not had to replace the batteries.Our whole family enjoys the game.

It uses 1 CR2 Lithium battery. I wasn't sure, so I pulled the battery out of mine to be sure I was giving you the correct answer. It is NOT the flat disc type as someone else has answered. It takes a CR2.

It takes 3 AAA batteries. I use rechargeables and they last a lot longer than you might think.

we're currently using recharbeables in our sets. They seem to work well, I haven't had to replace yet (just been playing a couple of times). Actually, I did have to replace almost right away - it turns out two of the 6 were not fully charged. The gun would still tag/receive tags, but the special effects were all off and the voice/sound effects were V...E...R...Y.......S...L...O...W... but it was a good warning, and at least I could finish that game effectively. If that's what we have to look forward to, I'm pretty happy with how the tagger handles low battery.

It takes 3 AAA batteries which are not included. The previous answer said 3 AA, but the castle I received requires 3 AAA.

I do not know the difference but I purchased batteries with mine and they worked just fine. It is a great little toy. And the batteries are cheap.

It does take batteries. It comes with demo batteries installed but they don't last very long. It plays a tune and then stops unless you or baby hit the button again. If it's dropped onto a hard surface it usually stops playing, but if you hit the button it starts up again. Ours has been dropped a billion times onto concrete floors and is still going strong.
