Will this run on batteries instead of AC adapter?

no it will not but you do not need batteries, it will run using the usb interface on your computer or a usb adapter, you maybe able to find a usb battery powered adapter....

Adapter, plug in, and battery back up but assume you would not use the batteries as main power unless you had to.

It runs on batteries, but can run on AC if you buy an adapter. Mine is still just sitting here, I can't figure out how to get the stuff off the card once it's full...aghhhhh!

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

It does indeed include an AC adapter and alternatively will work on batteries. Nice scale.

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

Yes it does, runs on ac or batteries. Cord un-plugs from radio, but does not have room to store it.

well - it has a port for a plug in, so I went to Radio Shack and got what should have worked - and nope. So I would say no. It does run for a really long time on batteries though

Yes, it has a plug-in electric adapter. It does not have the ability to run on batteries.

it runs on 3 x AAA battery just fine however if you want the power cord look for an AC power supply here is one http://www.amazon.com/InstallerParts-500mA-Power-Supply-AC100/dp/B008ILDSHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414178381&sr=8-1&keywords=AC%2FDC+4.5V%2F+100mA There are others that will work also. It just needs to be AC/DC 4.5V/ 100mA adapter.

It has a AC cord and was suppose to run on batteries but the one I received did not run on batteries.

I guess it works on batteries as well as can be plugged in...as some of the reviews hv stated ...I was hoping for starlight ...this seems good too...The lowest I have seen this one go is to $90..update...i googled this product....including the 'FP website...It doesn't mention AC adapter for ths model.

I never run it on batteries, mine is plugged in at all times. The supplied power supply is 5 Volts at 100 mili-Amps. I suppose you could power it from a USB power supply provided you could connect with the correct connector.

AC only. You would need your own inverter and a DC power source if you wanted to run on batteries.

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

Unfortunately, it only runs via power outlet and not on batteries, but it is a wonderful machine. Hope this information helps.

No. It can run on D batteries or with the provided cords for regular 110 volt AC or 12 volt DC.
