AC only or also batteries?

Hi Kristen,AC only... that would be nice if it took batteries for when the power goes out...

It only has a AC power, but it does play everything and its a great little system!

That's what it is for, but the units I got (from this listing) don't have them; just AC. That was fine for my needs, but be sure to order the right one for your needs. There are several very similar models.

It requires 8 C batteries. I have only used it on AC power. I love it so much that I have ordered a second unit to use in a different part of the house. Enjoy!

Has a rechargeable battery built in. I believe it should be able to run off of AC. Never tried.

Nope. It's battery powered only. You have to modify its scheme if you want to power it up with an ac adapter.

no, AC power only. These lights are amazing. I would recommend. No more sweating from the heat of regular lights.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

the battery is for backup only..... in case electricity goes out. You still need to wire it.

No, you have to connect it to your battery or a/c. You can use the 12 volts that runs the system.

The one I bought is AC. I recommend buying one with AC because you want it high on the ceiling and changing batteries could be a chore. And you can put it on a switch to turn off and on as needed.

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

It needs both, you can run it for a short time on just batteries but some features will be missing. The batteries are needed to maintain operation when power fails. You should always have AC power and batteries.

Yes -- most of my use is AC. Battery performance is marginal when played loud.

There is no included ac adaptor, nor does there seem to be anyplace to connect one. You need batteries.

camera and dvr are 110 not battery operated. I haven't installed one near an ac unit, but I don't see a problem with the dvr near the unit as long as there's plenty of ventilation. Hope this helps you.

It's a plug in only. I don't see anywhere there is a location for batteries.

In this case, the A/C model will give you more power and will handle more load (depending on the Amperage of the breaker). Don't ask me about the physics of AC/DC, but batteries almost never compare to an A/C power tool.
