does this work off of batteries or plug in?

I don't remember because I had to return it. It is cheaply made and parts were missing when I received it.

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

NO! Although it pops up in search for battery operated lights, it plugs in. Yet another in the myriad Amazon search fails.

Absolutely not. Unit operates when plugged . Once you unplug ,if turned on ,starts operating using the batteries.

No, it plugs in. When I first saw it, I assumed it was battery-powered (and weak), or even manual. But it plugs into a standard outlet, and is plenty powerful.

Both. I use it plugged in, but it has a spot for batteries that I haven't tested (looks like 2 AA? maybe 3?)

Yes it works plugged in. I have never picked it up and found the battery dead. While using, if the battery needs charging, a red light comes on to indicate it needs charging. So when I am done using it, I plug it in. I have not yet had it die while using. Good battery life.

It needs to be plugged into the wall socket at all times. No battery operated function.

There's a plug in cord. It also works on batteries. The batteries lasted a few weeks of playing it all night every night. I switched to the cord when not traveling. This works great.

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

No on/off, it has wires and needs to be attached to electrical wires...not a lamp , so no conventional plug.

It is powered off the USB bus. I use an adapter plugged into 110 volts to insure constant adequate power (because some USBs have more power than others).

It does not work on batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical socket.
