Sonic Pro can run either entirely on batteries or it can also run on mains power (but we strongly recommend using a battery backup). Whereas Sonic Wi-Fi has to run on mains power, with battery backup.
In either case, both the Pro and Wi-Fi versions, use AA lithium batteries. We recommend these as they seem to last the longest: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Energizer-Ultimate-Lithium-Batteries-Pack/dp/B000IWW1G6?th=1.
Sonic cannot operate on alkaline batteries, so it’s important you only purchase lithium.
Sonic uses lithium batteries because they’re stronger – and we need this extra strength to actuate the motor that opens and closes the valve, turning the water on and off.
