Nope. The battery is for the noise canceling feature. But can't run them without the noise canceling feature on.

They each use a pair of AAA batteries, I haven't had to replace them yet. You could put rechargeable batteries in them if you wanted but they would have to be charged externally.

No they do not. They are not noise canceling or wireless therefore they do not require batteries.

No batteries. This is not an amplified device so therefore no batteries are used.

No Batteries needed. They are just extensions to get your lights more out in the room if they are recessed, etc.

Yes, they can! They can be used anywhere! I love them for that reason, because you don't have to worry about them. Be sure to get extra batteries and keep them on hand, I always do. Enjoy them, I know you will!

You can use regular AAA batteries in these radios, but they don't last anywhere near as long as a single charge on the rechargeable pack (and rechargeable AAA batteries die even faster than regular AAAs), and AAA batteries CANNOT be recharged in the radio. If you have rechargeable AAA batteries, you must charge them using their own charger. This charger only works for the dedicated battery packs.

No. Just put 2 AAA batteries and you're good to go. Sorry for my delayed response.

I have no suggestions. These did not work for me at all. I know of none that use a battery.

They do not require a battery. I haven't figured out how to program mine yet, but that may be more of a reflection of my skills...

The product I have does not require any batteries, maybe if there is one to purchase with a 'light' added it may need batteries, however the stand alone needs none!

Like the others said, they take 3 AAA batteries. These lights are sold by different merchants, some supply batteries, some do not. Check the description to see if yours will come with batteries. TIP: Swap out the batteries with Duracell or other long lasting batteries when you get the light. I use the batteries sent with the light in my kids toys/small electronics.Also, there appears to be a modified version of this light where you can remove the cover over the batteries by hand (no need for screwdriver).

Batteries, AAA if I remember correctly (I don't have it with me at the moment)

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 :)

No, the batteries I ordered are AA not AAA? My device uses AA, so not sure what your uses. These AAs are the same size as non rechargeable, so. I assume the AAAs will be the same

They use AAA batteries not AA and they are NOT included with package, as stated.

I believe you can use AAA's but using those will deminish the brightness considerably. And it will use them up very quickly.
