Does this speaker work with batteries as well?

Hi Sam...Yes, it does (1 9v DC) so you can take it outside (but bring it in when done; not meant to be left outside due to weather conditions)...I've only used it with wall plug in and find it to be great especially for the money....haven't seen anything at that price point ever...always priced at $100 plus :(

I have no idea since they have been plugged in since purchase. One has failed but the second one still works, after almost 3 years. I mainly listen to lectures and I do wonder if other speakers might be better for music?

The add-on speakers are of two types -- ones that plug into an electric outlet and don't take batteries, and ones that are completely wireless and those work on batteries only.

Yes it does, but it requires six (6) C cells. I think louise puglise's answer "(1 9v DC)" refers to the listing stating that a 9v DC POWER ADAPTER is included to operate the speaker on household voltage (120volts AC). Six (6) C cell batteries equal 12v DC (6 x 1.5v = 12v). If you will use it a lot, I recommend getting rechargeable C cell batteries. NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) are better than NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) for a number of reasons. Rechargeable batteries are 1.2 volts and won't run the speaker as long on a single charge as disposable C (Alkaline) batteries, but run it a long time and are cheaper in the long term even if you purchase a recharger just for this purpose.

I just received it in the mail, and it does not run on batteries, just an outlet.I really wanted one that ran on both, but just returned a different set of iPod speakers in the same price range, because the sound quality wasn't good. So, I'm sticking with these. The quality is good for under $30, and it charges the iPod. HTH. :)

Yes, works on battery. Plays a long, long time on batteries but doesn't charge your ipod, iphone unless it's plugged in. I've had mine for years and love it. Also, unless they've changed it, it's is 30-pin. Can also plug in other devices via 3.5mm plug. Good sound with bass boost.

Hello,I see you had a question, to answer your concern: these speakers donot require batteries, nor do you have to plug into a electrical outlet. A USB plugin and sound input is all that's required.

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

Yes, batteries ... but it's not a good product. Buy something like this instead: Pyle-Pro PMP30 Professional Megaphone/Bullhorn with Siren

Yes, the mouse and speaker work at the same time. FYI, I learned that the mouse will make a quiet chiming sound when the battery gets low, my mouse had been unplugged for about 6 weeks, I was surprised it lasted that long on batteries.

Not sure 100%. It's a USB unit, and it requires a power jack. If you had a USB/3.5 mm adapter, I think it would work, but you would still need to have the unit plugged into the wall. Unfortunately, there isn't a battery option with the unit. There are battery powered speakers that will connect via 3.5 mm that can be purchased. I actually have one, so this I can confirm. Sound is great with this unit if you plan to use it near a wall power jack...

Yes. I only use it that way; I've never bothered to put batteries in it, as the sound is so good, we use it in the living room.

It requires 4 AA batteries. I keep mine plugged in and haven't used this feature. I recommend this speaker. For its size, it sounds terrific! Perfect for my nightstand.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

Yes they need batteries. But the speakers blew within two songs. Its terrible.

Hi, Thanks for your interest in our unit. No the unit is intended to use with batteries. Kind regards, Rebeca

Yes, but I noticed that it doesn't if it has fully lost its charge. I love this speaker. My son told me to not play it so loud because it loses its charge quicker .

No it does not charge batteries. By the way,it has good sound as long as you keep the volume about half way. It distorts or sounds bad at full blast.I like it but for me it's not loud enough.

The unit comes with rechargeable batteries. The batteries do need to be installed and charged for the unit to work. FYI - the sound is excellent.

Yes. However, it will only charge your IPod when plugged into an outlet. Batteries allow you to play music, but not to charge the music player. BTW, the sound is outstanding - true fidelity and depth of sound - for such a small speaker. Highly recommended.
