Does this radio have the option of using an AC adapter?

No it does not. But my cheap dollar tree batteries have not died yet after a month of use. So it doesn't drain them fast either.

not the model that I got or the replacement that followed. It had no external ports that I could see.

No it don't but the batteries last forever especially if you use lithium type!

There is no plug in area for the AC adapter to plug into so no as far as I can tell.

This radio was not designed with a AC or DC adaptor. But in order to accomplish this change over you would have to d take a 12V battery pack and remove the batteries or disable the pack and connect your Positive & Negative up to the pack. Use a volt meter to test and locate the positive terminal on the battery if it is not already identified. Most of all check the voltage output of your DC supplier first to make sure that the voltage and the amps are constantly within the original radios spec. if not, DON'T MAKE THE CONNECTION!!!!!!! You might destroy a good radio.

Yes. However, the instructions state that "The AC charging adapter should only be used to charge the battery pack and should not be used to power the radio on a constant basis. Leaving the charging adapter plugged into the radio for long periods of time will shorten the life of the internal battery pack." It also states that when the battery pack is fully charged the radio should play for over 25 hours. I personally have played my radio on the battery pack it came with for about 6 hours without problems. I don't have an AC adapter. You can also power the radio by installing 3 AA alkaline batteries, including rechargeables. But the radio will not recharge the AA batteries you install. My advice? Buy this radio. You'll love it!

No, it does not come with an AC adapter. It is powered by the USB connection. I have had no problems with just using the USB connection as a power source.

Yes. It comes with a 4.5 volt AC adapter. Not too bad a device for the money.

Hello Hippie : ) sorry no AC adapter included, but works with one of those regular ipod (USB) kind of charger, 5 volts. Or you can use your Pc for charging too. A note of advise, do not put your cellphone to charge near the radio, that cause electrical (signal) interference.

No. You have to buy AC adapter separately. I concur with the others who have answered this.

No ac adapter. Sucks because eats the batteries in no time. So rechargeable batteries is the way to go with this.

no AC power, but it plays for quite a while on the batteries and delivers great stereo sound; albeit a bit narrow given its size. It also has two outs for head phones and audio as well as a 'socket" for audio in. I think it's a great little radio.

Yes, I never use AC adapter to use this. It's a great machine. Should get one. Super simple and friendly to use. Has features for advance users also.

No, but it has a plug on it that will accept one, however it must be purchased seperately. Places like Radio Shack should sell them. I have not had a need for buying the AC adaptor, I've had the same battery in this unit since I first bought it, and I use it several times everyday. I like that if I ever do need to buy one I can, but for now not having the clumsy cord to get in the way is ideal for me since I constantly move it around..

It has plug-ins for DC but I don't remember it coming with an adapter. If it did, I cannot find it. I use it in the garage, so it's plugged into the AC outlets. Sorry I cannot help you.

No, but you can easily purchase an adapter at any radio shack or electronics store.
