There are two kinds of batteries for the radios. There's a battery in the plane and batteries in the remote control on the ground. The Spyhawk airplane takes a two cell lithium battery like the one that came with it. Hubsan's batteries are light and an excellent fit for the plane but are not very durable and have a short flight time. Once or twice I've had a complete loss of control/blue screen and suspect battery faults. None of my Hubsan batteries have lasted more than a year. I use them when I want excellent performance and a high climb. I've used Eflight batteries that are roughly twice the capacity. Those give me about 20 minutes of flight time and are dependable but are a little heavy and make the glider a little front heavy and harder to fly. The batteries in the remote control are regular AAs. I've used NMHi rechargeable cells because the RC eats AAs quickly. This taught me that the RC will work on 10V and down to about 9.5V. Hubsan makes a rechargeable battery for the RC handset but I don't know what it is.

only one battery is required to power both the airplane electronics and the camera. it is all intergral in the plane. The battery that comes with the plane is a 7.4v 350 mah, I think., but it is adequate to fly with. The motor is surprisingly powerful with that battery. Of course you need aa batteries for the transmitter.

8 AAA batteries! The quality of the plane is low with regard to longevity. I only fly twice before the camera pack up.

I seem to recall that it used 8 AA batteries. This transmitter is a battery cannible. So I'd think about finding some rechargable AA cells for it ASAP. I had to return my SpyHawk before even one flight due to a defective (stuck) left transmitter stick. Good luck. - Rob

The tuner uses 1 CR2032 (3 volt) battery. This is directly from the user's manual.

I'm sorry. This was a gift for a grandchild. I have no idea about batteries and such. Sorry.

I'm sorry I can't help you because I bought the battery as a backup, and have not used it. It's still on the original packaging. I plugged the radio in to charge, but haven't used it either.

The radio is not designed to charge batteries internally. An alterative would be to have twelve batteries on hand. When the six battries in use show signs of weakening, they can be put into an external charger and be replaced with the other six batteries on hand. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

Yes; 3 AA batteries. Great weather radio; this model works perfect all the time.

This radio does, indeed, use two AAA batteries. It is a dandy little radio that is perfect to put in a purse or pocket.

You will need to install the radio and buy a battery and charger. Everything else comes pre-installed

I don't remember the specific battery types, but it comes with a complete set for the transmitter and receiver.

The unit comes with wiring, antenna, adapters. Only thing necessary is the radio. Batteries for portable use are not included. However, batteries for the remote are.

It uses one LR23A 12vDC alkaline battery.Not the most common battery out there, but available right here at Amazon.Also can be found at your local Radio Shack and sometimes Walmart.They are about half the size of a AAA, not a coin style battery.The unit is working great by the way. Very good range with the remote.

Yes, 3 AA batteries, however you need to keep the radio plugged in with the AC adapter or they won't last but about 3-5 days.

Not sure but we've been using regular Duracell D batteries with no problems. It's a great little radio.

You need to get the 4.5 V battery's if that's what is required. 3.6V will not operate your radio properly.

I believe it was 6 AA batteries for the radio. You can use the radio to charge the helicopter, but it also comes with a usb charging lead that you can plug into any usb power source; I use it with my Iphone charger and it works well.

No batteries. Runs on house current. I bought two and sent them back the next day. Poor reception even with an outside antenna!!! I do not recommend you wasting your money.
