All of the units come with adapters to connect to a power outlet, they charge through the adapter at the same time. The batteries are included too. A nice touch.

The parent units have cords that can be plugged directly into the wall. It's important to keep the cords nearby, because battery life on these are not super long. I wouldn't take it off the cord for more than a couple hours at a time. Luckily, it will make a tone when the battery is low instead of simply turning off without you realizing it.

Both parent unit have a rechargeable batteries a particular one inside (either AA or AAA) and also with the wire to charge it. There is no need to remove the baterry to charge. Fully charge it last a full night, an more if few noises are transmitted if the baby sleep well.

It comes with it's own power supply and plug. This item does not use batteries.

Not a separate unit. I bought one that plugs into the wall. I think you can charge through the computer but I never linked them up.

No, it does not. Just got the batteries and you can't fit the plug into the parent unit.

You can power it through the wall socket, but it only comes with a USB cord. I use my phone charger to plug it into the wall (my phone charger has a port for the cord).

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.

The unit can be plugged directly into the wall and run without batteries. That was a BIG deal for me and I could not find the answer to that myself. So glad to tell you... YES! And I highly recommend this unit. Also, you can charge both batteries at the same time.

Yes, both the base and unit. The unit has recharchable batteries that come with the monitor and you choose which type of batteries to use for the base. I have unplugged the base when my LO is in a different room than normal and I want to check on her. Works great!

The base itself plugs into the wall. In the controllers You can use any rechargeable battery with the normal battery pack holder that comes standard with the controller, or you can use the aftermarket tyco rechargeable battery packs which is what i use. Btw i have had this charger for over a year now and i love it. No technical problems at all. Lights red while charging then cool blue when done. Individual light for ea. controller. Very cool at nite. Hope this helped. Chance M.

Yes it is battery powered but not with a rechargeable battery. You can buy rechargeable batteries or just keep using regular batteries. The battery life is short though! We've only used the plug in.

This is not a wall plug in unit for one.....It is a battery pack that is designed to charge and recharge both tablets and phones multiple times on a single charge. It recharges itself when plugged into a computer via USB and can be recharged itself 500+ times. It does not need to be connected to a power source to charge other devices. It is a power source itself that is rechargeable.

This Base charging station gets plugged into a regular outlet. The units that you're looking to charge should have rechargeable batteries in them.

Yes it does plug in to wall. I have never tried with just batteries though. This piece is not user friendly and I would never purchase again

Only one needs power, that would be the one that stays in the house. It needs (6) C cell batteries, I believe there is an external power supply for it, but I never used them. The batteries last quite a long time, depending on use of course. The wall unit outside needs no batteries. Hope this helps. I have in operation now many of these units, and they work just fine.

Hi, The other answer is correct. Some do come with a seperate wall plug for power, but this one has a USB-powered adapter.

The one I purchased doesn't have a recharging option at all. It's battery powered. You simply replace the batteries when they run out. Obviously you could use rechargeable batteries. But it's not a rechargeable unit.
