Powering arduino mega

how many 9V batteries are required for arduino mega 2560 ?

Are the 9V batteries of a type that I know as PP3 ?

What is the Mega being used for and how long is it required to run for ?

it depends on

  • how long do you want your Mega to run ? (and what's powered from there)
  • the type of 9V battery

1 basic one will get you going... but not for long probably if you power other stuff ..

None at all - it is not required that you use a 9V battery!

9v into the Vin pin will work, the length of time depends on what else is being powered.

Use a 6 battery AA holder.
