THIS IS USED BUT IN GOOD CONDITION. THIS COMES WITH THE POWER PLUG. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS TAKES A BATTERY. I HAVE LOOKED AND I CANT FIND A BATTERY COMPARTMENT. SO I AM THINKING IT DOES NOT RUN ON A BATTERY BUT JUST ON THE POWER CORD. IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS PLUGGED IN. PERFECT FOR WORK, TRAVEL, BY THE POOL, AND OTHER PLACES.
