Can you run this device on direct power supply instead of batteries? and with the battery that it comes with how much time will that last?

Yes you can run while plunged into ac. As for time it depends on what mode your recording in,video or audio only etc
1267367
yes you can run it with power supply (but not from PC via usb! auto detection will privent charging! With power bank no problem) Remember that you have 4Gb max size video file limit, device will stop recording on reaching this limit, and you'll need to start new recording manually. With mid. resolution you have around 1,5 hours from one battery. If you are student, buy some more extra batteries (not original) they will cover your needs.

Yes, you can run on direct power supply. I was able to power it with the USB cable, but it cannot power the unit AND charge the battery at the same time. You must choose one or the other. It does not run very long on the battery. I can not remember how long, but short enough that I bought some extra batteries plus a charger for around $16, so it is nice that you can change the battery out. It's a good price if you are looking for something that records both video and audio, but in the end, I bought a different recorder that is solely dedicated to audio.

Yes, you can use without the battery. With the battery the recording time is not long , less than two hours .This product is very good , I'm very happy , buy it for very little $ 140 d and quality sound recording and video is spectacular .

yes it can run off a wall plug so you can run it as long as your memory allows

I don't know about the power supply but the battery lasts a long time and I love the camera
1267372
absolutely. power it up first, then hook the power up, follow the prompts on the screen and you are ready to go. if video taping, push the record button once and it will give you a display before you tape. side note, i am the singer in a rock band and it video and audio records outstanding for an inexpensive device. i also bought the remote. works great.... hope this helps johnd

The internal battery will give about 1.25 hours of video recording. When it is dying the recording indicator will blink continuously then the unit will die. Death comes quickly. However, you can run it indefinitely via the supplied USB power supply/charger. This limitation is no big deal unless you are remotely using the unit for big events. I would think a gel cell camera battery could be found that the USB cord would plug into that could give longer remote usage. I truly love this unit, very intuitive.

Yes, it will run quite a long time on just the batteries (I haven't plugged mine in for a couple of months). When it is plugged in, the battery serves only as a backup, so it doesn't run down the battery power if you have the adapter. The adapter isn't technically necessary if you are happy replacing the batteries when they run out, but I like having it to save the batteries when I'm just keeping it in one place.

Buy a dc adapter and it will work without batteries. Or buy rechargeable betteries.

Yes, it will run on a battery. I have used it in a storage area without power. It uses a 9V battery.

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

I run mine from an inverter that is hooked up to batteries that are charged by my solar array. It uses very little power.

it can be powered by AC adapter as well as usb. it includes a cord which will do both. it can also run on battery for 6 hours. It has a headphone jack and an input as well as Bluetooth. The short answer is yes to all

No, it doesnt run on batteries. I will work only when connected to an outlet.

No battery or DC power supply. Comes with AC power supply similar to a laptop. Suspect, that due to its amplification, that any battery supply would not last very long.

I powered it up on my bench with a bench supply. There is no reason that a 12 volt battery pack would not work. Pay attn to + and -. Not sure how long it would last. You would have to look a the current draw of the desplay.

It runs on batteries. You can plug in a 12V power source of your choosing. I use a universal power adapter that came with several plugs and found one that fits nicely.

No, it is not designed to run off of batteries, and there is no battery compartment, etc. Yes, it could run off of batteries provided you have some more advanced electrical knowledge or know someone with some-it runs off of dc electrical power, the same type of power your Duracells give you. But, it is a bit complicated. You would need to "construct" a battery pack for it in the sense that you need to come up with the rated power input from some battery/combination of batteries-it is 12v 3000mA DC input (at least that is what the supplied transformer outputs to the unit)-you would probably want to use a 12v battery of some kind (or for the size you want you might get 12v out of a combination of smaller voltage batteries in series) and then probably wire up to the dc input connector or take the back off and directly wire (i.e. solder) some battery leads to the inputs on the pcb. A laptop battery might work for this application. This would of course void your warranty.

Sure, there's a 12V outlet so if you have a separate inverter you could use it to create AC power. I have no idea how long it would last for any given application or exactly what maximum load it could handle. Since it's not designed for that, the manufacturer doesn't give provide any specs. But is it a substantial battery.

The ítem has three ways to drive power into.1. You can supply power by the micro-usb connector on it's side, 2- You can plug an includded mini-adaptor with a tiny cable wich comes labeled as: Battery (3-5 VDC). Owners manual says you can connect a battery to this side, but doesn't specifies about duration.3. Device also has a sliding switch that allows you to select between USB/battery source port or driving power by DB9-Pin9 (5V).Hope this helps.

I know there is a battery backup, but I have mine plugged into an outlet. I don't know how long the battery is supposed to last, but I wouldn't recommend it as your primary source of power.

It's all ready to go straight from the box BUT ... I would recommend buying a separate power adapter or else buy a BUNCH of 9V batteries, because this device drains 9V batteries pretty fast.

I have always used the batteries. They have worked great. It must not take a lot of power to run, because I have used it many many times on one set of batteries. You could get the adapter, but it is really not needed, but it would make a good back up I would think.
