Batteries are included in this VERY RARE, USED, GERMICIDAL CLEANED and ORIGINAL manufacturer Factory Remote. It is an Original OEM remote that came with your unit, not some C.heap C.opied Product knockoff ?fit for /substitute? that won?t have all the features of your original remote. Buy the real deal and buy from small American sellers for safety and security. I am a remote specialist that only sells remotes made by their original companies so please make sure that this is THE CORRECT MODEL you need (DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING, BE CERTAIN- 99.9 PERCENT of returns are due to buyers ordering the wrong model remote). To ENSURE secure delivery THIS WILL BE SHIPPED USPS INSURED AND SIGNATURE REQUIRED UPON DELIVERY (IT?S RARE AND HARD TO REPLACE), PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS IS CORRECT BEFORE BUYING??
