Does the IR transmitter come with batteries. If so, are they rechargable? If not, is there recharge functionality built in if I buy some?

The transmitter is rechargeable with the same SUB cable that you will use to recharge the Heli. It takes 15 to 20 minutes for a full charge from your pc.

Yes, it did come with a transmitter. I found my flying time to be between 6-8 minutes per charge. I use multiple batteries so I always have a few charged up.

Yes, they come with batteries. you have to open up the battery compartment and pull out paper tabs to activate them, though. They take little button batteries.

Hi, the Control Center (receiver) comes with an ac adapter but uses 4 x 1.5V AAA batteries for loss of power back-up. The transmitters (sensors) use 3.2 V lithium coin cells (1 for each) CR2032. Transmitters batteries are expected to last up to 2 years. If the sensor battery is weak or signal is lost, the Control Centre light will start flashing as a warning. Hope this helps.

Suggest that you send end an e-mail to the seller. She is very helpful, and there are two kinds of batteries, one in the transmitter and the other in the receiver. Hope this helps,

This does come with batteries. Mine were in the box and had to install them into the laser but it is very simple.

The remote does. Rechargeable on the copter itself. You can recharge it via USB, or via the batteries in the remote!

I do use rechargeable batteries. I carry 4 sets in my golf bag and switch them when they go dead. I'm not sure about charging them in the unit, I do not. Mine did not come with anything to charge the unit with batteries in. Sorry I'm not much help. But I do like it. Works great

I own a set for me and one for me wife, both work with the same transmitter. I don't know how significant it is, but one of the units shorts out on me when I add new batteries. It very well may be because they warned me in their literature to charge the unit for no more than 12 hours, and I forgot and left it plugged in for the whole weekend! Still using the other one, but for more info see a previous "answer/review."

Transmitter is not included. These are intended to either replace or add to an existing system. However, these tend to work in most car systems and some home systems. Need to verify the IR frequency: Left Channel 2.3 MHz, Right Channel 2.8 MHz

No it does not come with rechargeable batteries. The controller uses a one 9 volt battery, and the car five AA batteries. You could probably purchase rechargeable AA batteries though.

There is a transmitter and a receiver. Both take the 9 volt battery. Batteries last pretty well and I seem to get more than 20 hours of operation them.

They both have batteries. My transmitter battery went dead a couple times, but I never had a low battery message, just blank displays. I operate the receiver on a/c so never had dead batteries there. LT

No rechargeable batteries. The remote uses standard cr2032 flat cell battery. It's lasted for more than a year for me. I expect it to run for another year or two.

Just got mine in the mail - it does NOT include batteries as the amazon post states, and I ordered a pack of CR123A's - and will have to return them because they do not go in this device at all. It's also worth noting that this works without batteries, but it's clearer and better with batteries (2 AA's) because the IR only works with batteries installed.
