It uses 4 AA batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries if you choose. Since it runs on batteries it doesn't come with an AC adapter. It is very energy efficient and the batteries last a long time. I've only had to replace the batteries 2 times since I bought it and have taken several hours of video and hundreds of pics. The first time the batteries were replaced with a cheap $1 pack and they lasted for 2 weeks. The ones that are in it now are much better and have lasted ever since. (about a month)

It only takes AA batteries. They seem to last a good while and you can carry extras so you don't run out at a party or something. The only cable that came in my box is the USB cable. There is a camera strap in there also that might look like a cord in some pictures maybe??

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.

This camera comes with a rechargeable Li-ion Battery and battery charger. No AA batteries required.

Operates with 4 AA. There is no way to recharge rechargeable AA's while in the camera but they can be removed for charging.

Yes, this camera has a rechargeable battery but it has to be charged in the camera. The charge lasts a long time at least for the first six months. We also bought two extra batteries and an external charger which came as a kit. The manufacturer is Wasabi Power. I think we have only changed batteries once in three months.

Just to be very clear the camera does not have a "charger," it has a power adapter and should be plugged in most of the time, but it will also work with AA batteries. It does not charge anything when it is plugged in. It does not work the same way as the monitor unit, which truly does have a rechargeable internal battery.

Hi Lorraine. It is a rechargeable battery not AA's. I own two of these cameras......buy one.....you will LOVE it. I am a long time Canon user.

Yes this camera takes regular AA batteries. However, it is a 'high drain device' which means that even the best batteries won't last long. I highly recommend a set of rechargeable AA batteries. In stores you can commonly find these at the 1500 level but I recommend going as high as you can. Amazon has 3100 capacity rechargeable AA batteries. They come with a wall plug, car adapter and European plug option so you won't be left hanging. These batteries also recharge quickly. Normal batteries will cost you a bundle for this camera.

The camera comes with a cord to plug the camera into an AC outlet. When the camera is plugged in, the battery recharges. That takes about two hours. I'm not sure how the long the battery lasts when charged though. I only just got the camera.I took photos with it for about a half hour or so. The rechargable battery seems to last longer than AA batteries would with my old camera.

It can use 4 lithium Battery or I purchased on Amazon the rechargeable pack. Last longer than the AA battery and you can carry the other for a back up. Rechargeable lasts longer than the AA and can be reused. You will love the camera. I do.

The battery is the square rechargeable kind, not AA. You charge battery by plugging the camera in, you can also charge it if you attach it to your computer and it is on. You can also buy a separate charger where you take it out of the camera and place it into the unit.

This camera uses a rechargable battery pack (EN-EL12). It is about the size and shape of a book of matches. Also be aware the camera does not come with an external charger. The only way to charge the battery with the camera as purchased is with the battery in the camera via a wall charger or cable link to a computer. For this reason I purchased an external charger and an extra battery when I bought the camera.

It takes just 2 AA batteries It doesn't have to be any special brand. This camera takes great pictures. Enjoy your camera! I love mine. Sincerely Doreen

It takes AA batteries but if you download photo's often it definitely uses up your batteries but it is an easy fix since you can get AA batteries pretty inexpensive at Walmart. Not so good at taking pics of fast moving objects unless you use the video recorder on it. I find that works great with sound too. I love this camera!! Hope that helps ...

No, there is no AC adaptor, it runs with two AA batteries. Mine lasts probably 2 months with maybe 30 minutes of use a day as a usb device or out recording. I would say an awesome battery life.After dropping mine once, the spring by the negative side of the battery isn't pushed out all the way. Not sure if it was my fault or a bit of a weak point there.

It operates with 4 AA batteries only. I have a battery charger included with this kit.. The camera comes with a cord that can be used to download to the computer, printed or can be connected to the TV.

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