Its built in and you charge it USB, you can also plug and play. Takes 4 hours to charge fully.

The unit requires two AAA's to work. I use rechargeables and they last a long time.

Purchase standard rechargeable batteries (AA or AAA type as needed) with a wall charger

If you can find a USB AAA charger you like. I believe USB is 4.5V. 1.5V to 1.25V is AAA. My guess is two AAA batteries, at a time would be best since this is a low power charger.

it takes 3 AAA batteries. with this model they are rechargable. had mine over a year and use it everyday, never had to change the batteries yet.

No batteries needed. It has a built in battery that recharges by plugging in the AC adapter. The battery has a very long life when you charge it.

it comes with its own battery pack that also has a charger. it doesn't fit common batteries like AA or AAA.

No. It is recharged by using any standard mini-USB cable and 5V adapter. It uses 3 standard AA batteries. I have lots of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries on hand for all my doodads and just used those for myself. The batteries last a very long time in this radio. I've had the radio for many months and use it a lot but have only recharged them twice. This is a great radio for a long trip in remote areas. The Amazon description says "lithium ion batteries", but it's wrong.

Its a renewable battery. This model is does NOT use AA or AAA but a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

i hesitated a bit after seeing reginald goodman's answer. mine was powered with the USB for the conversion operation (so is the much bigger one i bought elsewhere. batteries are not necessary), but i THINK i remember seeing a battery compartment because you can carry this thing around with you and the batteries may become necessary then.

No sadly it can't be powered by USB. You have to either use the AC adapter or use 4 AA batteries.

No batteries. It charges by plugging it into the USB port on a computer. (No data transfer...the USB connection is simply for charging.)

Yes, it does come with a rechargeable battery, however you must use the proprietary battery charger that comes with it. It does not use AA or AAA batteries.

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