If AAA batteries are used, how many does it need? If C batteries are used, how many does it need?

No matter what sized batteries are used (AAA, AA or C), the number is the same: 2. The battery chamber has a sliding spacer that keeps the batteries positioned properly.

I use 2 C batteries...I don't think AAA batteries would fit....when you open battery compartment by rotatingend of handle it shows a compartment for only C batteries

It takes AAA batteries. Just about any type of rechargeable AAA should work. You would need to buy a batter charger to charge them. Most electronics stores carry charges with batteries included. Get something like that.

It says right in the description that it uses 2 C-size batteries. What's up with people answering with just guesses . . .

4 C type batteries in mine. I don't think AA batteries would ever do. However fully charged C batteries last for a week at least.

It uses 8- "C" Batteries- I can't understand why they didn't list that in the instructions.

It takes 2 AAA batteries. I really like this thermometer. We use it daily in our clinic. I've found the most accurate readings are taken behind the ear. Love it!

Yes, they take one AAA battery. They should be switched "off" when not in use to preserve the battery by sliding the yellow switch on the side. They are still functional when the battery is dead; the noise reduction feature will not work, though. Hope this helps :)

It takes 2- AAA batteries. The original 2 are provided with the product. In general getting any of the "Ultra" or "Ultra Advance" style batteries tend to work better for me so that's what I'll likely get to replace them. I purchased this for my husband for his iPad for Christmas. So far it works great, no issues with the batteries, I guess we'll see in a few more months.

Use AA batteries × 2. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Have a great day!!

Uses six AAA. I opted for rechargeables. Needs fresh ones every 3 months of heavy use.

Sorry when I answered your ? I meant to add that the 2 AA batteries are NOT included. I figured you knew that, since you asked what size it needed.

It takes two AAA batteries. The batteries also last quite a long time. I've only replaced once since purchasing.

It takes 2 AAA batteries. I use the rechargables because my daughter uses it constantly! Hope this helps!

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

4 C cell batteries. We have had it five months, it works great, and we have not yet needed to change batteries.

it uses AAAA batteries. A little harder to find than some, but not that bad.
