Hot Shot Battery 6 Pack Batteries for the Green HS2000. These units require six size C alkaline batteries to operate. Hot-Shot has a High Amperage Alkaline Livestock Prod Cell that is designed to work best in electric prods. Because electric prods are considered a high drain device a higher amperage gives the user the best performance and battery life. The Hot-Shot Battery will last longer and perform better than most off-the-shelf alkaline batteries.
