This speaker is best used when connecting to a source of music using Bluetooth. I'm not sure what capabilities your home stereo has, therefore I can't comment on that. You can play music for example that you have stored or streaming from your Bluetooth enabled smartphones including Android phone and tablets as well as iPhones or iPads or laptops with Bluetooth built in. While one of the advantages of Malibu is the long battery life, you can also play it while it is plugged in. Please note that it comes with a micro USB to USB charging cable, so you would have to plug it into a USB adapter or USB port to charge it. You can also use a micro USB charger to charge it at home or using a cigarette lighter adapter.

No idea. It's electric... Plugged in to outside outlet on patio. Not enough for me to freak out at my power bill.

We plugged ours directly into a regular outdoor outlet (via an outdoor extension cord.) It worked beautifully. We received lots of compliments.

I don't believe these speakers were designed for outdoor use. Admitted you stated the patio was covered, but being subjected to temperature and humidity variances would make me concerned about it. Hope this helps you.

I don't know about wireless outdoor speakers. I use it for wired outdoor speakers.

These are battery-powered speakers charged by a 5-V power supply. They will not blast you out of the park, but are great on the patio for background music connected to my phone via Bluetooth. If there is a wattage, it would be low, since they will work for about 8 hours on a charge.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

Use a wireless speaker system. they make them for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can hook up an mp3 player, but you would have to leave it outside..probably should work the same with an iphone, but you probably wouldn't want to leave it outside.

You can connect it to any USB port and will charge while playing. You can also play through external amplified speakers. I hope it helps.

No it does not have to be electric. It plays just fine acoustically. To plug it in to an amplifier and play you need to have a battery to power the electrics.

Must be plugged in. One of my 12 volt outlets cuts off power when I turn off ingnition and open door to exit. I use that power source so that I don't have to worry about it being "on" all the time. Will resume last song played when power is restored.

It needs to also be tapped into a 12v source. Mine is installed behind my stereo.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.

If it is out of warranty and your battery is dead you can still have it plugged into power and run the speaker. You would only need the battery if you wanted to run it off the grid.
