Does this have to be plugged in for power or can it operate solely on battery power?

The water valve have to be plugged in. The battery power option is more for backup in case of power outage. Can operate from a 12V battery but that have to be charged time to time, and have to be install by a electrician.

It comes hooked to long wire of around 10 feet and at its end an adapter that coverts 110 to 12v. You can probably hook it up to a battery, but as they say on the fortreZz website, you need a professional technician

No, it needs 110 v power all the time, add an electrical socket nearby........

It must be plugged in to work. It is an inverter, not a portable power pack.

Power source only. You use a wired connection to set it up, then it is wireless.

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

This unit is USB powered, does not need to be plugged to an electric outlet. The computer this device it connected to will power the unit using the USB cable.

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 operates either way, it comes with an adapter and takes batteries for when you can't put it near a plug. We take it with us when traveling.

it needs to be plugged into the wall. Only the time on the clock is battery operated

The camera itself needs to be plugged in. But the monitor can run on battery power, mine has lasted around 10 hours before we needed to plug it in.

Not on battery power. The device needs to be plugged in via the AC adapter to charge your ipod.

No battery, Period. Must be plugged in to power receptacle to do all its functions.

You plug it in. I works pretty well. It has better power than the battery operated kind.

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.

This is not powered by battery. It is powered by plugging it into an electrical outlet.

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

It only runs on battery power. It has a rechargeable battery that charges on standard U.S. 110 outlets.
