why a battery? Does it have to be electric????

You can use it both with or without an amp. It's a great Uke. So glad I got it.

No it does not have to be electric. It plays just fine acoustically. To plug it in to an amplifier and play you need to have a battery to power the electrics.

I wanted an ukulele with an electric pickup for playing shows, parties bbqs...etc. Increasing the volume output for performing.

It is acoustic/electric with a uk-2000 pickup built into the side. You do not actually need the battery to run the pickups unless you decide to use them.

If you'd never plug in to an amplifier, buy the OU6 model instead. Other than being acoustic only with no cutaway, the highly recommended OU6's only other big difference is its gloss finish (versus the satin/matte finish of the OU6LCE, which yields a darker, more mahogany-type color, versus the more golden-amber color of the OU6).

This is an electro-acoustic instrument so, yes it can be recorded via an audio input. It plays amazingly as both acoustic and as an amplified instrument.

Hello There. The battery powers the active preamp system. You only need the battery if you're plugging the Uke into an amplifier. Thanks! ~Todd, The Music Farm

No, don't store, "generate" electricity. You madre your own battery from fruits or vegetables.

Hi L.L., This unit requires that it be plugged into an electric source (110-120V). However; I'm not sure if this could be used using a voltage converter which can be readily found on the internet. It has NO battery. Are you able to used products manufactured for use in the US using a voltage converter? If so, this unit could be used in the same manner. Hope this helps. G'Day!

Electric cord only. It runs on such a long cycle, a battery wouldn't last long.

unless you have one of those USB Back up battery for when you don't have electricity. You'd still need to plug it into a power source. Doesn't have a stand alone battery.

No battery required. It uses power source and you need to have a long power cord of your own.

There is a battery housing built into it, so you don't need one. I bought a lawn tractor to use with it.

It has a cord, which I am thankful for. Because I don't think a battery would perform well, considering the power this unit has. The wisk, for example will stir brownie dough and not bog down. A battery could not do that consistently.

It does not have a battery, it is electric, and plugs in to an extension cord

It must be plugged in. It doesn't have a battery because it uses too much power for a battery.

It is electric and needs an outlet. I would suggest another brand though...

Only the batteries, they make it electric. Sort of a play on words. It does do a good job and that is the main thing.

It is electric, no batteries needed. I love this and I am ordering 2 more for my store. Hope this helps you.

It doesn't require batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Doesn't need a battery, will run standalone on AC. On a side note we love ours, still going perfectly.
