No batteries, plugs into the wall outlet. My students love it. Stimulates many questions.

I don't think it uses batteries, I think it's completely manual. You should double check tho, since I'm not certain.

No! It uses batteries. And a lot of them too. The batteries go dead very quick!

Yes, It does operate on batteries. It has a compartment for 8"D cells. The one thing it doesn't have is a outlet for headphones. I found this kind of lousy, as sometimes I would like to listen privately and I can't!

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.

No, it is battery operated. They did have a more expensive model that had a 10 year battery but it was to expensive for my budget.

No, it's batteries only - however, you can get rechargeable batteries and recharge those.

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

It will operate both on battery and plugged in. Works well both ways, although if not fully charged, plugged in works better. It has a short charging time for a full charge.

This unit is electric and plugs into a regular 110 volt outlet and I don't think it runs on batteries just mainly regular electric power. Have a good day.

Yes, as it is not battery operated. Works plugged in to an electrical outlet only.
