Does this need a C wire or does it run on batteries?

The manual says if you connect the "C" terminal, it will only use the batteries for backup.

This does not need a C wire. It uses two AA batteries. Honeywell (and others such as Trane) use a C wire on models that use WiFi or voice recognition or Z-wave so they can have a 24V connection. All thermostats use low voltage from the other connectors and typically use the batteries as a backup when there's no C wire. For this thermostat, you can take it off the wall, hold it in your hands and program it. You can't do that on models that don't use batteries. However, those other models can be programmed from a computer or phone app so it's less necessary.

I had to call the company however I told them the model of the thermostat I was removing the wires that were connected to it the wires that I had and they put me on hold five minutes came back and had a complete custom diagram of what wire to move to what wire works flawlessly

According to the product description above, batteries are optional: "For added convenience, the thermostat unit can be run using battery power or using power from your heating/cooling system, giving you the option of permanently eliminating battery changes."

t requires 2 aa batteries to store info, and it gets wired up to the back panel. The front of the thermostat can be detached from the back panel. I had my a/c guy install the unit, but it's not very hard to do it. It comes with instructions.

It doesn't run on batteries. We tried first to install it but couldn't get it to work so we called in an electrician. We really like it now especially since we can set it to a different temp while we are sleeping.

It runs on 3 D cell batteries. You can also plug it in but you need to purchase a power adaptor seperately.

No. It does not require batteries. It uses the 24 volt power from the HVAC unit.

This unit must be installed onto a junction box and connected to line voltage power. It does not use batteries.

Does this run on battery or AC power? And, if AC power, does the cord disconnect directly from the unit?

It takes 8 "C" batteries. Have had it on a/c power since purchase and working great.

The control module takes 4 C batteries. Though I highly recommend purchasing the ac adapter, never have to worry about extra batteries

Hi Kristen,AC only... that would be nice if it took batteries for when the power goes out...

Mine run on batteries only. It did not come with a "plug in" nor does it have a place for a plug.

It needs to be wired, but that was as simple as adding a ring terminal and hooking it up to the positive lead of the battery. The control is a switch that moves it up or down.

It uses C batteries. I don't really recommend this product. My cat is a thug and he had it disassembled within one day. Great idea in theory though!

Yes it does, runs on ac or batteries. Cord un-plugs from radio, but does not have room to store it.

Electric cord only. It runs on such a long cycle, a battery wouldn't last long.

As far as I can tell it only has to option to run on C batteries. I remove the batteries when the pump is not in use, in an attempt to prevent the batteries from draining too quickly.

Mine just runs on the battery-- I don't have a power cord. It spins and reflects colored lights.

No batteries, must be plugged in to operate. If you want to use it somewhere other then in a vehicle an adaptor is available so you can plug it into a wall outlet. FYI - the switches were installed backwards on mine and at first I thought it wasn't working. It warms up pretty quick.
