No, it has a built-in rechargeable battery and lasts about 10 hours before recharging. I use mine everyday.Sincerely: George Gooch

nope. rechargable only. original item has wonderfully long battery life - I was able to use it for a several days of backpacking, etc. more recent/refurbished ones are more usual two days worth of pretty heavy use. not nearly as good.

I think youre asking if this takes batteries? It does, but you should use a power plug if you can.

No. It doesn't. Not the regular AA or AAA batteries. It has its own rechargeble battery.

No, but it had to have a charged battery. Just turn the ignition key to the Accessory position to bring power to the "lighter" socket.

No it does not come with a battery. I had to order that separately. Also you have to be aware that it takes a special battery 18350 larger and longer than a AA battery.

Yes it does come with a battery. My usage hasn't been heavy so it more than serves my purposes but if you consider yourself a heavy user then by all means get a spare, it may come in quite handy.

It doesn't take batteries. This IS the rechargeable battery. That said, it's a piece of junk. Mine never charged at all, and I returned it. There are much better options out there.

Yes it does need batteries. I gave this to my grandson about a year ago and I can't remember what type of batteries it takes but he loved it.

No it takes AA batteries.I invested in the lithium batteries which have a longer lasting life. Well worth the extra cost.
