what type and size of batteries does it use, can they be recharged with an ac adapter and a usb cord? can the batteries be changed by the consumer?

It takes no batteries it is solar powered. - The instructions says to leave it in the sun for 8-10 hours for a full charge....well I left in in the sun for 7 hours and it was fully charged. You can also wind the crank to charge the unit but there are no batteries.

There are no batteries in the traditional sense of AA, AAA, C, or D. The battery is part of the unit itself and is charged by either the hand crank or the solar panel. I have no yet tried it, but I believe the USB port is for charging hand held electronics, not for charging the device itself.

The Scorpion Emergency Radio doesn't use batteries. There are three ways to charge it. Solar powered, crank powered, or ac adaptor. The usb cord is used to charge your cellphone. Hope this helps.

Batts not accessible. Charged two ways, sun trickle charge or quick charge hand crank.

Do not waste your time or money. I took it on one camping trip. That will be the last outdoor adventure with this low quality, unreliable piece of "equipment".Back to the drawing board for this waste of valuable pack space.

It has internal battery that can be charged manually by the crank, solar, or by electricity. It needs an ac adapter that is not supplied but easily available. The internal battery cannot be removed as far as I can tell.

I have the new version which uses 6 AA batteries. I now change batteries every week so they go pretty fast. There is built-in no port for an adapter but you can use rechargeable batteries. Or get someone to create an attachment for the adapter

You can use rechargeable AA batteries, but it does not come with them, just regular ones. And the voltage is 120v standard US outlet.

Battery: DC 4.35V, 350+50mA.USB: DC 5.2V, 800mA.Haven't tested the USB. The battery charger works well. Not sure on the speed. I haven't needed to charge one in a pinch. Usually leave it there and just get it the next day when I need it.

It plugs into a wall outlet( 2 pronged ) not an ac adapter plug but unfortunately it doesn't run on batteries hope this helps

According to the manual, the AC adapter only supplies power to the radio. It can switch from AC to batteries, but says nothing about recharging, or rechargeable batteries.

Ours never worked ... Sorry but it uses 4 AA batteries or a standard AC Adapter

It appears from the pictures of the product that it is AC powered and it didn't look like it could accept batteries however, it may be able to be powered by USB as it also has a USB input.

It is rechargeable via a USB cord that is included. I'm not sure if it's actual using AC if it's playing while plugged into a computer (or the wall, if you use an adaptor).

There is no AC adapter. It's battery operated by D batteries. I only activate it when I'm going to be away for one night or more (about once a week) but I'm still on the original battery for 6 months now.

It has an AC adapter. I don't remember if it has a battery or not, I think it might take AAs.

4 double A rechargeable. They came with my used one. The charging cord is a usb like a cell phone. Im sure you can buy a different one. As long as you want to listen to it plugged up you can but it will NOT change while you listen to it. Have to do one or the other

not sure, I got it for my Mom's laptop and she lives in another state. I didn't know you could recharge these types of batteries.

No it cannot be used with batteries, the USB plug can be used as a power source only so you don't need the power cord but you canNOT use it with batteries.

Yes it does have a AC cord and yes the battery life on these is useless. I can do a few small videos and the batt is dead . Would not recommend forts of vacation videos but for short videos around the house it's good quality

Two AA Batteries.You can also purchase an AC adapter but it doesn't come with one.The USB cable is for interfacing with a computer.Very nice unit - I love it.
