Can you also plug this into an outlet or is it battery only

As long as you have a USB wall charger, you can plug it into an outlet using the USB wall charger or you can charge it with your computer's USB port. Keep in mind, listening while charging will cause the battery to take longer to charge.

There is a DC IN port that will allow the user to charge the battery while actively powering and using the device just like cell phones. In fact I'm doing it right now before taking my speaker to work.

I usually plug it into the charging cord when I'm listening to a long program via my phone..but other than that..I use the battery. Speaking of that..I've misplaced the charging cord and can't find it for beans! Wish they provided accessories for this at CCrane!

No direct plug in of which I am aware but direct plug in should be an option. Just haven't had need to figure it out yet.

No, it is meant to work only on a battery. It works well but unfortunately, it cannot use a wall outlet.

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!

It has to be plugged in to the access. power outlet. It has no built in rechargeable batteries.

Yes, this radio can be plugged into an outlet. I use the batteries when I want more portability so I can hear music while working in my garden. (It requires six C batteries) Karen

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

It plugs directly into an outlet. Beware these units are highly unreliable, read my review for my results. They are cheaply built and have a high failure rate.

You need to plug into an outlet for it to work. The outlet is not included.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

You can plug it into an outlet. A USB cable is included but no proper charger, I use any cell phone or tablet charger at hand. You could possibly charge it by plugging it to a computer USB but it'll take forever to fully charge. Cranking it would also take a long time to fully charge, it's meant to be used as a last resort.Been using it for nearly a year with no complains btw

I know there is a battery backup, but I have mine plugged into an outlet. I don't know how long the battery is supposed to last, but I wouldn't recommend it as your primary source of power.

you can recharge it either way, however it will charge faster if plugged into an outlet via usb

It functions as a flashlight during power outages. Battery charges while plugged in outlet. If there is no current to outlet, the light comes on instantly and can then be used as a flashlight. It can of course be used as a flashlight any time by removing it from the outlet. Just plug it in and forget about it. If electricity goes out, you'll be happy you have it - you want have to search for flashlights, batteries, candles, etc.

you can plug it into the mains when using with your computer (as live interface for example). otherwise when on the move it needs batteries my friend. hope this helps.

NO. It is plug only. I don't know if there are ones out there that are battery operated

You can plug it in and you have the option to use batteries. I had mine for almost a year and never put a battery in it.
