Does it need batteries

Yes, it is a shock pen, but the low cost was reflected in its use. It only worked a few times. I wouldn't get another of this brand.

One of those hearing aid batteries, if it lasts that long. It fell apart in less than 24 hours; the cost wasn't worth the effort to complain.

no. But I have mine plugged in beside my chair. Just turn it on when needed. I have never put batteries in. If you travel you might want the battery option.

It doesn't need batteries. Mine too inexplicably stopped working after a short while. I had to return it.

No. Batteries only. Works very well, but you'll need to use good batteries with this. I used cheap dollar store brand batteries first, and they didn't last very long.

It doesn't need batteries unless you choose not to plug it into the wall.It may need to be placed where there is not an outlet nearby...so you have the option of batteries. It worked well for our 91 year old relative in an assisted living room. She could finally hear the phone ring.

Correct. The unit does not come with batteries out of the box, but you may use regular or rechargeable batteries.

No batteries needed. This is a handheld /supported by the cord that goes around your neck. It is a rather light weight clear plastic. Any light would come from a lamp or daylight. I can see that it looks like it might be lit in the photo.
