Thermacell doesn't use a battery, it's a small bottle of butane and a pad of bug deterrent. I have a couple of them on the boat to try and dissuade the skeeters and no see ums on the water. Seems to work pretty well for the skeeters, not so much for the no see ums. I think it's basically a high tech citronella candle and just about as affective.

The Thermacell made it possible to eat dinner without being bombarded by the bloodsuckers. Everybody on the trip was sold on it.

There are damn few things in life that I can say work exactly as advertised but a Thermocell is one of them. I have hunted pigs in SC in April with one running and had deer walk up underneath the stand without a bug in sight (after turning it on) If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
