Does anyone know why you would need 8AA batteries for this can if it will function the same way using 4AA?

I realized the same thing after one of the casings that is needed to hold the batteries fell out and got thrown away with the garbage. On the whole the garbage can is garbage itself. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ONE!

As long as the battery that you are substituting is the same voltage, you can use a higher capacity (higher Ah) battery than the original one. The reverse is also true. Using a battery with a higher Ah will improve the device's running time on a single charge. This feature is important if the power frequently goes out or is out for long periods of time. However, the higher the Ah is on a battery, the bigger (physically) it will be. Make sure the dimensions of the new battery will fit in the designated space. You must also keep in mind that the charge time for a higher Ah battery will be longer than a lower Ah battery.

Yes, it takes four AA type batteries. I use it quite a bit and the batteries seem to last a long time.

Yup, 4 AAs just like the previous models. You can use your preferred type of battery of course , but that's the size. Side note/update that I may post later: You are paying big bucks for only a little bit more power and recycle time and built in radio transmitter. If you really know how to make the most of your flash, you can get the same results using much cheaper flashes. Worthwhile reference: Scott Robert Lim courses.Sorry, prob more info than you asked for!

It takes 8 AA batteries. It will work with 4 but the run time is greatly reduced. I use the black Sanyo NiMH rechargeables and am happy with the runtime with 8 installed.

The one I have takes three of the 1.5V batteries (the small round ones). While I was looking at the box art for the Mighty Mac Carrier and it looks like it'll take two AA's. The one I have is the Universal US Aircraft Carrier brand and it takes 3 of the small round 1.5V batteries.

The batteries are quite light. Weight is not an issue with either battery. They are both 20 volts. The 4AH vs. the 2AH battery is like having a bigger gas tank, not a bigger engine.

4-AA batteries. However, I wouldn't recommend buying this one. 1) Hard to change the batteries.2) Small holder for pepper.3) The top part is not too secured when flipped for grinding. Can be fell off if not careful.4) The cap is hard to put back without some attention.5) Low life. Only last about 7 or 8 months with mine.

4 C type batteries in mine. I don't think AA batteries would ever do. However fully charged C batteries last for a week at least.

3 'AA' batteries can replace the rechargeable battery. I keep 'AA's as back-up when I'm out and about with the units. They make Lithium 'AA's now that are supposedly the best for gear like this.

I Don't know where my brain went. The tray for AAs comes out and two camera batteries can be used. Sorry for the misinformation.

4 AA batteries is correct. Note that you must have a small phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartments (yes, there are two compartments). A jeweler's screwdriver will be sufficient.

You can use batteries (4 or 8 AA if I'm not mistaken), but it is not rechargeable.

Triple A, sadly. I would prefer AA, but it came with the batteries included, so that's good.

Regular aa's will work but I used rechargable. I do not recomend this product

There are batteries available that, instead of actually being batteries, are just wired straight through so that they work as spacers in applications like yours. Obviously this is just a plain holder for 8 cells in series, but a combination of up to 8 AA batteries and AA spacers will give you the variable voltage you're after.

No, you supply your own 4 AA batteries. You could still use your own rechargeable batteries.
