What type/size batteries does this use? How long do they typically last?

There is no internal battery option. Household AC or external DC (12V) or AC power converter pushing 1 A.

This radio only runs off AC power (120volt). I can not remember if it has battery back-up for the clock. OBTW this is a very nice sounding radio with the ability to work from a number of sources .

I use two AA size Lithium batteries. You can also use AA size rechargeables.

It uses 3 dinky coin (LR41) batteries. Since it's an LED light, the batteries are lasting longer than I had expected: 60 hours and going strong!

It uses the 23AE size battery. My battery came from Ebay (5-pack); bought the remote from here on Amazon. So far the same battery has lasted more than a year.

I use the Duracell AA batteries and I believe it takes 16 total. They last quite a while depending on usage.

It appears to use a small lithium battery that is replaced by removing a small screw and the cover. As for battery life, as with most items the battery life is going to be dependant on how many people use it and how often! I was using it daily for the past three months but now I'm home and won't use it till I travel again. So my battery has lasted three months so far! That's 90 days weighing twice to check accuracy! So at least 180 weigh-ins. If you only weigh once a week that would be the equivalent of over 3.5 years! So I think battery life is really difficult to nail down.

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.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

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

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

They last about a year. You can buy upgrades for it ( more run time). Batteries aren't covered. They are expected to be replaced.

Regular batteries (AA I think) and they last a pretty long time. I've had my first set about two years now and maybe have replaced batteries once, maybe twice. Wear them an average of 9 -12 hours a week.

This takes a standard C2032 battery. You can get them for about $2 at your local hardware store or pharmacy. They last about 1-2 years, depending on how often you use them or leave the device on.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I don't know 'exactly' how long it lasts but I'm real pleased. I use both the rechargeable 18650 3.7v battery and 3 AAA batteries 4.5v. 3 AAA's are a bit brighter. Both types seem to last a month or more of frequent use. I just got back from a 2 month vacation and it did not run down while is was out of the country. Very bright and long lasting. That's my opinion.

I always take the batteries out between uses. They will last for a number of uses. I use the energizer 377 batteries. Hope that helps,

uses AA batteries. Also it has a feature that will ask you what type of batteries are installed.
