I've used a Marantz in the past for radio interviews. I went through loads of AA batteries. Can this one be charged &amp; used without batteries?

No, but I use rechargeable batteries and the expense on power has been negligible.

Hello, Unfortunately this unit does not have rechargeable capabilities. You can use standard AA rechargeable batteries, available at most electronics stores, but you cannot recharge the batteries inside the unit. Thanks for choosing Discount Audio!

You need a separate battery pack to use AA batteries. But, they only cost a few dollars. Good to have as they have about twice the power as the standard battery and it is nice to have a readily available backup if your batteries go dead.

I only use batteries, but the marking would appear to be so. AS far as the other answer: Sorry 'bout that. It is, after all, just a "rehearsal amp", as the seller said, not a full-blown concert amp. I use it for a harmonica amp at a nursing home; it works just fine for me!!! I can't haul around anything bigger.

No batteries. It's powered from a wall socket (120 VAC). Actually the whole thing is a plug just like a USB charger of a cell. It does not have a power cable. So, if you plan to have it in the stereo table facing towards the listeners, to improve line of sight, you´ll need an extension cord. In my case, I'm having a hard time finding a black cord, so that it blends with the rest...

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

I have not needed batteries but power the WH FM Transmitter 3.0 off a USB port (adapter came with the transmitter) on my Imac. Succinctly put, you do not need batteries if you use an alternative power supply.

It comes with a charger/power adapter. It will charge the batteries and allow the radio to be on at the same time. The radio has a switch to change from regular AA Alkaline to NimH rechargable. I like this radio because of being able to recharge the batteries in the radio while playing it at the same time. This is a quality product and I recommend it.

There is no battery. It uses an A/C adapter with a USB connection so it's electrical. I believe the answer to your question is Yes. I use it all the time walking all over the place. I've walked within 500 feet of the receiver before having the sound impaired. This of course will depend on the clear signal to the receiver.

Batteries not needed but these are not wireless headphones. You still have an audio jack.

Yes, I was told at a battery store that you can use AAs when I took the radio in to them. Just make sure you orient them correctly. I have had only one battery problem so far.

Yes. I put rechargeable batteries in mine and can just plug it in to recharge or to take power from the outlet. It's a nice little amp. The sound isn't as rich as even my 25 watt Crate practice amp, it's very portable and packed with features.

I have never tried it without the battery. I can tell you that it is out performing my other mic's, so I am very happy with the XM-55.

The speakers do need batteries (AA's), but the unit doesn't eat batteries if you remember to turn it off.

The radio takes 4 each of the AA size batteries or you can use it plugged in. We like the sound quality of the radio.

I have used several decades Marantz and had never a broken unit, I'm sure that Marantz Europe will help you with service if needed. Be aware that US equipment is build for 110Volt 60Hz, Europe has 230Volt 50Hz Best Regards, Andries Bosma
