   Polaroid solved the problem of the dead battery by placing the battery in the 
   film pack. Every time you install a new film pack you're using the fresh 
   battery it contains. I've seldom seen a Polaroid film pack die before its 
   expiration date. That was the system when I checked the Polaroid SOP. 
   
That is only true of the SX70 and descendants. The older peal apart
technology did not need any batteries, except maybe for a flash. You
got the film activated and out of the camera by manually pulling it.
