The receiver part takes a 9 volt and the sending unit works on the house 
current at the outlet already.  
The following is from the Lowes.com web site.  Gardner Bender is a well known 
brand in what is probably medium level quality electrical equipment.  Having 
used either this tool or ones like it, I can promise you the ad isn't quite 
accurate because it doesn't get exact enough to single out just one breaker.  
But you can get within 2 and I always flip it off to be sure.

  Bob:
  What kind of batteries do these use, and about how much would one cost if you 
know?
