I thought this had an AC power adapter so you didn't have to run on batteries. Is that true, or just batteries?

Good question! I just took the batteries out of my H2n, and connected a standard 5v charger to the USB port and YES, it ran normally in this mode. It did ask me to set the date/time, and I expect it would do this every time I plugged it in.

You have to order the accessory pack. It comes with an adapter, a small tripod, a wind screen and some other stuff. It's worth the price.

I've always used it with batteries. However, I did purchase the Zoom Accessory Pack for the H2n Portable Recorder which includes among other things an AC power adapter. Available at Amazon for $29.25.

Using a Zoom AC Power adaptor, plugged into the USB Port on your Zoom H2n recorder will save your battery power.In MENU mode select INPUT and scroll up to PLUG-IN POWER and select ON.

Hi-the accessory kit includes a charger. The charger is a 5v unit that plugs into the mini usb connection. If you choose, you can probably use your iphone or other charger that charges at 5 volts and get a cable that goes from usb (at the charger) to mini usb (at the recorder). Also note that if you use the plug-in option with the power adapter there is a setting in one of the menus in the recorder that you will have to set. Regards JL

Mine's just batteries. However, two alkaline AA's last for about 20 hrs of recording time. Recording time. I've tested this. The versatility is pretty sweet. It can also be powered directly from a usb connection to a computer with no batteries in it ( I just tried it). This way it can run as a card reader or a straight up microphone input. Not sure if it can record to it's own card when powered just by the usb, though. I couldn't make it happen just now when I tried. My next step would be google. There are no other power input ports. Hope this helps

Hi. This unit does not run on batteries. It's AC power only. The sound is OUTSTANDING for the price and size. I have had mine for a couple of months and have zero regrets.

I bought no adapter for it.. What do you need an adapter for, exactly? It just runs off batteries, that I know of.

It does not take batteries, only AC power. I think portable refers the tiny size of it.

It comes with the AC Adapter to connect to the wall. You do not need Batteries for it only the AC Adapter.

It's battery operated, however, you can also use an AC adapter, but that's not included.

You can use it both with batteries or pluged into a 9v power source. But there's no AC adapter included !!!

No ac adapter. Sucks because eats the batteries in no time. So rechargeable batteries is the way to go with this.

It comes with an AC adapter and it battery operated also. Good deal for the money.

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.

It can run on batteries, but it comes with a plug in adapter to run off electricity.

It uses 6 AA batteries, happen to have the user guide handy. I have only used the AC power adapter and never tried using the unit with batteries yet.

It has an AC adapter. I don't remember if it has a battery or not, I think it might take AAs.

It's battery operated and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use an AC adapter but it would have to be 6V.

It's battery powered so you have to buy batteries. I believe it can be powered with AC adapter but it doesn't come with it.
