How does this vest stay powered? Does it need triple A batteries or do you plug it into an outlet the night before your morning run?

It takes AAA batteries. The lights change to solid red when the batteries are running low so you know to replace them before it leaves you running in the dark. I love this vest!

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.

Buy a couple extra cheap third party batteries. No big deal. 2 batteries should get you through a full day of heavy shooting.

We only use rechargeable AA and AAA batteries so we always have extras for when we need to swap them out. I don't recall doing this more than a handful of times and our son was in this chair a lot with the heartbeat rocking function on. It's a great chair!

It runs on batteries. You can plug in a 12V power source of your choosing. I use a universal power adapter that came with several plugs and found one that fits nicely.

The battery is built in. This is not an ideal unit for backpacking trips, but more for running and cycling. For the same price, you can get a very nice Garmin GPS receiver that is intended for hiking in the backcountry.

Frank - First, insure the single prong connector on the vest wiring is firmly connected to the battery. Next, press down the black button on the battery and hold it until the top green indicator light above the button activates (2-3 seconds). Remove the pressure from the button. From this point, quick depression/release cycles of the button will increase the level of heat as confirmed by the activation of additional green lights. If this does not work, you may have, as we have in the past, a defective battery, at which time you need to contact the manufacturer. Hope the information is helpful. Les

I believe Goal Zero recommends to keep it plugged in or to at least pull it out and charge it monthly if not in use to keep it topped off. I would keep it indoors too instead of a garage as the temp can affect battery life as well. I have a bunch of Goal Zero Yeti 1250, 400 and extreme 350 and keep them indoors, charged regularly and have had no problems for years with them.

It runs and charges off of usb power. You can use a usb ac adaptor and leave it on, but at some point the battery may get damaged always being plugged in.

It plugs into a wall with an included adapter. There are no batteries needed. You use it without any cord as it's wireless. I usually plug it in once a week only and it stays charged up nicely.

I run this from the outlet, and it's been exceptionally reliant. There's a back-up battery for emergency power outage.

I have mine plugged into an electrical socket all the time. I bought it for when there is a power failure at night. When the house power goes off, the flashlight will turn on. Not only will I be able to find it, but I will have light on high for around 2 hours and if I keep it on night lite setting it can last up to 15 hours.For $7.99 it is a great device for safety when emergencies happen. I am not sure how long it takes to charge from the dead state as I have always kept it plugged in since I received it.

This piece of equipment has no internal power source so it requires the wall plug. There are self contained battery jumpers on the market which is what you want, however they don't recharge batteries on their own. Different needs, different equipment.

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

It works well for an hour or two when it is not plugged in. It will keep working throughout the night with good batteries. The flow is less consistant and it gets worse as time goes on. It works best plugged in.

Both. I use it plugged in, but it has a spot for batteries that I haven't tested (looks like 2 AA? maybe 3?)
