Does the Catholic Church approve of the use of battery operated candle?

No, the definition of candle is "a cylinder or block of wax or tallow with a central wick that is lit to produce light as it burns" and the Church stipulates that candles for the Mass must be at least 51% beeswax. Now, an appliance that is made to look like a candle (that you are calling a battery operated candle) is not a candle, not made from beeswax, and does not burn, so it cannot be used. Which, however, does not stop some pastors from installing these monstrosities.
