It is not battery operated. I believed it is powered by the USB that connects it to the computer.

No, it is not battery operated. The depth of the etching depends on the force of pressure. (Worked great for what I needed - so glad I purchased it.)

No it is strictly battery powered. BTW: It was effective for about 2 or 3 weeks. After that the dogs got used to the sound and continued barking.

It is not battery operated. It does plug in to a wall outlet and has a remote control. I love mine.

It is NOT battery operated. I use it with 110 volt here in United States. The plug does have a transformer on it (type 2). The input on transformer says 120 VAC and the output says 12 VAC.

No,this is not battery operated. You need to plug it into a 120 volt/ac outlet. I believe it uses two watts of electricity. It's economical and actually does give off a lot of light. It does not however rotate a lot in its socket.

No, this is the battery operated model. It comes with 3 "AA" batteries. Hope this helps.

I returned this time because it wasn't the finish that they described. So I don't know if it's battery operated. Sorry!

NO! Although it pops up in search for battery operated lights, it plugs in. Yet another in the myriad Amazon search fails.
