hi, it is batteries, if you remove the.front cover.
at the bottom right hand side, at the bottom of the controll knob shaft, there is a small box with wires going into it, the batteries are in there.

As far as I am aware its a piezo spark generator like the home gas ingniters used on kitchen stove. So no battery. I've had 4 caravans and none had battery powered igniters all had the piezo spark igniter.
Iff it's not igniting then is could be a faulty igniter or a thermocoupler best get a professional to have a look at it.
