If I had a Radio I would definitely need a remote (the Radio would be sitting on a shelf where I had to lean all over the kitchen table to operate it), but I would have no use for a battery at all. :) Chances are, however, that if they were selling the battery and the remote separately, the

The price will be $49.99 USD. Some of you may see a battery as optional. I used to think that too, but in daily use at my house, a battery is mandatory. The battery transforms a Squeezebox Radio into a take-anywhere, indoor or outdoor source of all your music or internet radio. As a member

It's not available yet. If you do a forum search the URL of it on the Logitech website is posted but it's at pre-order status. I have seen people post they think it's coming in December. HTH CW -- Chunkywizard *Squeezebox:* Boom x2 (Lounge and Kitchen), Radio on Christmas List
