Lighted outdoor bats are typically either plug‑in (AC/electric) models or battery‑operated models. Battery options in this set use AA batteries.
Most bat decorations require little or no assembly and use simple plug‑in or hang‑in setups. Some larger pieces note adult assembly is required but often state that no tools are needed.
Battery‑powered bats commonly use AA batteries (examples include models using 3 AA or 8 AA). At least one model includes an outdoor battery box with a 6‑hour on / 18‑hour off timer.
Some bat decorations are specified for outdoor use and describe heavy‑duty, weather‑resistant construction. Others are intended for covered or sheltered outdoor placement rather than full exposure to the elements.
Common anchoring features include ground stakes or stake kits, drawstrings and sandbags for inflatables, included hanging loops or twine, and bendable wire wings or mounting hardware to position and secure decorations.
