These units are powered by the boat's 12 volt starting battery or a separate 12 volt battery if one is not required to support motor operation.

No, you need a 12v. external power source. I have a trolling motor and I connect to it. I guess you could use a smaller 12v. battery maybe a motorcycle or lawnmower battery. I'm not sure of the current draw to know how small a battery you could use.

No, it requires power from the boat's battery. It is a very easy job to wire it in, and judging by the size of the wire, it draws very little power. It is also a long wire to run where you need it.

No, you provide a 12v battery source. It would probably run for a long time on this battery, and you can get a cheap trickle charger to charge it: UPG UB1280I Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

Sure it does! The battery usually last about a year depending on how you use it, but you sure will find the battery at Radio Shack or elsewhere, no worries!

The unit is battery operated. The one I received did not include a battery.

No. It doesn't come with a battery either. It uses one lithium CR123A (3V) battery, but you can purchase rechargeable CR123A's, just make sure you buy a charger for them of course.

No, it uses a one of those rectangular shaped 9V batteries. I guess you could buy a rechargable battery of that type if you prefer.

No, but the item is good enough to let it run on batteries. You can buy rechargeable batteries with a charger, a good idea.

No, it has a built-in rechargeable battery and lasts about 10 hours before recharging. I use mine everyday.Sincerely: George Gooch

Yes it comes with a battery.. However the battery does not operate without it being plugged in. It's an aftermarket battery.

No it does not. It must be turned on. But, the good thing is that battery last for more than 24 hours. and get charged in less than 20 mins
