What type and how many batteries go in the camera unit, and can it be used with battery only, no plug? How long do they last using like that?

Both the parent unit and the camera are rechargeable. Usually last a few hours.

I am not sure but they either take AA (most likely) or AAA. Yes, they can be used with battery only, why else would they have the battery option? As for how long, they lasted quite a while for us.

It takes 4 AA batteries for the camera, and it does plug in. The monitors battery life has actually gotten better since we have been using it more and not leaving it in sleep mode all the time.

In the manual. 2 AA cells no battery required, never tried on batteries only.

There is only one battery! if you turn it off every time you are not use it - about 3-5 month. I have not replaced it yet from Dec, 2014. (but only really good batteries, I mean for photo cameras and something like that)

It uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack (en-el19). It is specific to this model, maybe others but not my old coolpix. It's similar in shape to my old nikon coolpix battery but slightly smaller. I was sad I couldn't use the same batteries from my old coolpix because they are still good lol. Oh well.

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.

This isn't a battery operated camera. Just buy any film associated with the camera, pop it in and take pictures! No batteries required.

the camera does not use a battery (internal) the camera only come on when you supply it with 12 volts from the vehicles battery.(like when you put it in reverse) I had mine connected to the reverse lights so it only came on when in reverse.

I have this camera and I use re-chargeable batteries that it goes through VERY quickly. I guess I was spoiled by my Pentax Optio 5 megapix camera which could go at least 4 weeks without having to recharge the batteries.

well, it doesnt come with a battery, i bought it separate. But the battery I got lasts a good amount of time, i try to plug in my monitor if im near a plug, but on location i've had the battery last more than i needed to to. I was shooting for about 2 hours and just turning it on when i needed and i had no problems. I really like this product, i like it for using on my dolly and getting low to the ground with it attached on top of my camera so i can get low angles. hope that helps

As far as I can tell, the only power source for this camera is via a wall outlet. There are no batteries. Not truly wireless, as it does require the cord for power. I did shop around for another option that used batteries but was unable to find an adequate solution.

Sorry can't help you. I only use batteries and they last a long time. Great little camera.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

Use 2 AAA batteries. Although I haven't used rechargeable ones I don't know why they wouldn't work. They will not last long. I always keep an extra set with the camera.

This camera takes 4 AA batteries. Surprisingly, they last a long time. I used it several times, several days a week, and it was at least 2 weeks before i had to change them. I love this camera! It takes amazing close ups & stills. Not great for sports or action bc the pics are blurry. ;0)

It uses two (2) AAA batteries. I would use Lithium batteries if you are doing some long period (interval) photography.

I believe it takes 2 double AA batteries. I have not tried rechargeable batteries in it, but you could use rechargeable batteries in it if you want. I have replaced batteries in it once since my daughter has had the camera. You have to take out a couple small screws to do so, but it's kind of nice to have that safety feature.

I think you mean battery or plugin and it is uses a single AA battery. There is also a rechargeable version of this unit which I didn't see the point of buying as I only use this when I travel and it is easier to carry an extra battery.

It takes 4 AA batteries or can plug into the wall but the wall plug is not a charger in order for the camera to work without baytteries it has to stay plugged in.
