I bought this in 2022 because I was worried about how much my baby was nursing, but I didn't use it very much. I only used it to take monthly photos, and I haven't taken the soft mat out of the bag. The batteries are the ones that came with it, so I'll include those as well. I've been storing it at home. I've confirmed that it works. The box itself has some scratches, but the main unit was kept in a bag and then in the box, so there are no noticeable scratches. I will ship it in the original box. Please understand that this is stored by a private individual.
