I always plug it in...I don't even know if it can be battery operated. By the way, it has thus far (3 months) been a very dependable machine...but forget about their coin counter...no good.Ken

It runs on the DC power of your vehicle's batteery . No additional battery required.

Sorry, I can't answer that one. I have only used this at home so it's plugged in. I haven't taken it out for anything on-the-go to see how the battery power lasts.

You can plug it in and/or use batteries. Battery life is quick with much use, so we keep ours plugged in.

no, it does not run on batteries, it needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet

It takes one power outlet and is 3 pronged with test/reset buttons on the side. You'll want it plugged into an outlet by itself though, because when it kicks in it draws a decent amount of power.

This unit does not run on a battery. The orange and black box is the hard drive. The only other part to the unit is a cord that comes out of the back and plugs into your computers USB port. The unit is powered entirely from your computers USB ports.

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

It can run while attached to a wall plug outlet. It can also run on battery until it runs down. It will alert you when it is getting low.

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

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

No, it doesn't run on battery. It gets its power from your PC when you plug in the USB connection.

does not need to plug into an electrical outlet. it is a ten year sealed battery. so mount it where you want, and replace it ten years from now!

I have it plugged into a standard wall outlet and a computer battery back up connected to it. Works great.

It plugs directly into an outlet. BTW, I am very happy with it and my wife loves the colors.

it does run plugged in but the instructions recommend against it so the battery can charge and then be used and charged again.

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.
