Does it use batteries? If so: what size, how many, and how long do they last?

Yes, you can use either batteries or plug in directly to wall outlet. It uses 6 size C batteries. Sorry, I'm sure about how long they will last. I still have the original batteries in mine, but I usually play it with direct electricity. I do know it will play for several hours (at least 2 or 3) on batteries alone ... someone uses one for special music at my church.

The Suzuki Q-chord has a battery compartment underneath to hold 8 'C' size batteries, which will last for at least 2 hours of continuous use (enough for any event away from a power source). I usually find I have batteries saved in a cupboard for years after any such event as most times, with an extension cord handy, power is available.

It actually uses batteries. I opened it up, recorded about 10-30 min. and put it away for about 3 weeks. It needed new batteries.

It does not require batteries, but does have to be attached to a USB port. This company offers a different version which is what you are looking for.

It doesn't use batteries. It works like the igniter on a BBQ. I believe its called piezo electric.

It takes batteries- I will have to check which size, but we have not had to replace the batteries at all so far.

It takes 4 AA batteries but they last a long time. I only use it occasionally as needed but the batteries last months.

It takes AA batteries. I didn't mind it so much at all, we just bought a big package of them and kept 4 handy while we were out.

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.

It comes with batteries. I don't know what type they are because I haven't had to replace them yet. Check the documentation - it might say.

I bought it as a gift for a friend, so I haven't used it. I think it came with batteries, ready to use, but I have no idea what kind. Sorry

It takes 4 AA batteries. It does not have built-in or rechargeable battery. However, it works well, regardless.

No, it doesn't use batteries that you put in, rechargeable or regular. It "expires" after 30 uses and you have to buy a new one (though there is a review on the Amazon page that explains how to reset it so you don't have to).
