Does it come with the battery to operate it or do I have to buy that separately? How about the solar panel?

No....mine did not come with one..... I picked up a Battery holder at Radio Shack that holds 4 C cells.They also have a holder that will take 4 D cells. The battery holders are around 5 bucks.On C cells mine has been running half a year now..... I have it set on 1 feeding per day.It's a lot cheaper to use C or D cells then buying Lantern batterys.FYI.... 4 C or 4 D cells delivers 6V.....the same same a lantern battery.As with most things solar I think you will find that messing with it is not worth the hassle.

It does not come with a battery. Takes a "lantern" battery. I have never used the solar panel to charge the batteries on other systems so I am not sure how well they work. It would depend upon how much sunlight you have to keep the solar battery charged. Also, solar batteries cost more than a regular battery. I have usually got a year or more battery life out of a normal battery by running the feeder once a day.

Yes it comes with a remote controller that you can carry in your vehicle. A solar panel can be purchased from the company and you can order an extra if you use the battery very often or live in the NW where it's cloudy. You can also run power to the control box and not use a solar panel. Yes you can attach a key pad control at the gate. It too can be obtained from the company.

You always need a Solar Charge Controller between the solar panel and the battery. This particular solar panel comes with a solar charge controller, so you don't need to buy one. You will need to connect it. The controller that came with the panel I bought is not high quality. I purchased a separate charge controller. The charge controller needs to be rated for 12 V battery and at least 2 A (amps). There are many available. How you connect to the battery depends on the battery terminals. I need reliability, so I bought ring crimp-connectors that fit the clamps on the battery.

Mine came with a battery. I did however order a battery at the same time because I was unsure. But it did come with one.

Yes, it comes with a battery and charger. Suggest you might want an extra battery as well. Never know when your project is taking a little more energy than planned.

Yes, it came with the battery. I did not like it because it was very difficult to program. In fact, I gave-up on it. I bought a Highgear and it works very well.

It's advertized with a battery and mine came with a NiCad battery that is charged by the solar panel on the top disk. You just plug in the battery. Yours is missing the battery.

It uses AA battery but it comes with one, so you don't need to buy it separate.

Yes it does come with a battery. Replacement batteries can be purchased from Cart-Tek

It comes with mc4 connectors on the leads. I know it shows all the other wires in the picture but the newer panel just comes with the 2 (-) and (+) leads. Yes, you will need a solar controller if you are hooking this panel to a battery. The controller regulates voltage into the battery to prevent overcharging and a good controller will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low.

It comes with a battery. It's a duracell so you might be able to order from Duracel web-site? OR you could probably get one from Sears or Home Depot.

It is supposed to come with the unit. I set mine up and the battery was defective. I returned it and got something else.

Solar panels are separate. It does have a hand crank on top for self power.

Sorry, I honestly don't remember since I bought it awhile ago. I'd contact the seller for that one; however, I do purchase batteries wholesale, and it doesn't need batteries when charged via the sun. Wish I could be more helpful.

I think it came with the battery, but I can't remember. It comes with an instruction manual which was adequate for learning to use this product. It is powerful enough for two people to use side by side (if the holes are only a couple inches from each other). I am very happy with this product. It is an economy model, but it is simple, U.S. made, and I have had so much more success than before I bought it.

It comes with a battery. Lasts a long time and replacement battery can be purchased in just about any store. My husband uses it every day and really likes it.
