What batteries does it use?

The listed power source is AAA batteries. Keeping spare AAA cells on hand helps avoid downtime when the originals run low.

Does it estimate body fat?

No. The measurement type is listed as pounds only, with no body composition features. For body fat estimates, consider a body composition scale instead.
