that you could. Thanks in advance

I believe they are all 12v.

You can if you take two 6V batteries and connect them in series.

Do you mean a car batterie?

[MOMS]

the ones i've seen run on a 12 v battery. the batteries are cheap enough (and last a long time if you care for them) to worry about any other type of source.

No, you cannot run them on 6v battery. The circuit board would be damaged, and potentially the LED display also. You can get 2 years out of a cheap 12v gel battery from Cabela's or Ebay.

Correct.

But for the price involved $20-$25 at Gander will make you forget about non-rechargeable lantern batteries really FAST!
REALLY FAST!

:p

I have got 5 years and counting out of mine. I make sure they get a charge now and then in the off season. I agree the gel Batt. last a long time and are cheap so that's the way to go.
