There is a small "backup" watcg type battery but it is not a rechargable one. Although I am happy with this unit, I do not recommend it if you are wanting to use it without a power cord.

Yes, it can be used without connecting the power adapter if your USB device power requirements are low enough. The only power available in that case would be the power supplied by your USB port on the computer, usually only 500 ma.

No, you don't have to charge it. Just plug it into your computer and use it.

You can use a USB wall charger. I got mine with a U.S wall adapter, so I think it comes with one by default.

The plug is a little hard to plug in but yes, it can charge without an adapter. The adapter is more for iPhone docks. Hope this helps!

I think so. My charger plugs direct into the wall, and the battery clips into the charger, therefore I'm not using the cable. Sorry not to be more definitive.

unless you have one of those USB Back up battery for when you don't have electricity. You'd still need to plug it into a power source. Doesn't have a stand alone battery.

I was also under the impression there was a battery. NO, it will not work without being plugged in. The description of the product is poorly written. I means that you can plug in and charge the internal battery of the device (MP3 player, cell phone Ipod, etc.) you are using

Yes. You may already have one, since it uses a micro USB cable. Micro USB is used to charge most phones these days.

Yes, you can buy a wall adapter (micro USB) that will charge it via a wall outlet.

The cord that comes with it can be used to charge it as well. You will need to buy a wall adapter of course, or use the computer.

i didn't try that way, i think that it's not possible, because the charger is a wall plug, i u want to use it like that you have to plug into an extension cable, but i don't thing that it will work, like all the electric devices (drills, screwdrivers, etc, didn't work while charging)

the station itself doesnt need one to my knowledge. you only need cables for whatever youre going to charge.

Yes with or without adapter plugged in... will work without adapter cord once charged

Yes you can but, if you are using a wall charger to charge the portable, you should probably use the wall charger to charge your unit instead because it would be faster. And it wouldn't drain the life of the portable battery either.

As far as I know you can power it with a USB but not charge the batteries. I occasionally use a stand alone, rechargeable power source for mine.

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.
