Does it have a plug-in option or does it only use batteries? I was that the battery life is only two hours. That seems pretty short lived to me.

only batteries. I used this nest for the first 4 months and had to change the battery once. I am a fulltime working mom and my son used this nest only when I was at home, mostly to sleep.

It uses only batteries - but they should last long enough (2 months+) even with daily use. The music stops on its own after sometime.

It's only battery operated. I'm sure a cord would present a safety hazard. I'm not sure of the battery life span. I never used that part of it. Sorry. I used the music on my smart phone. I can say that this was a life saver early on when baby was just home. It must give them a sense of security being so close yet protected. I used this with our first child too. Highly recommend it.

No plug-in but I'm confused about the 2 hour thing. It's not continuous music or heartbeat sounds. It only plays for a little and then shuts off on its own. The battery life on ours was fine! Whoever had issues maybe had a defective one.

Ive had it plugged in to the wall and car while in use and havent experienced the battery life shortened. The only thing I have noticed is the volume is not as loud when it is not well charged.

As with anything that uses batteries, it won't last forever. I only used it for a couple hours one day and had no issue.

It does use some power, but not as much as if it's in the "ON" mode. Also, the "sound" mode is more interesting to look at. I use rechargeable batteries and I get probably between 10-20 hours, depending on how much noise there is.

Someone posted in here somewhere that the the battery life is more like 2 hours for 2 hour charge. Apparently there is a problem with the charger that can be remedied by the way you charge it.

NO. It is plug only. I don't know if there are ones out there that are battery operated

It has an inbuilt battery with a USB charger cord. The battery lasts maybe 4 hours (that's a fairly rough guess).

It has an internal battery, but to record while using the internal, it maybe would work for 20 seconds before the battery goes dead, but to view recordings it would work for a nice 5 to 10 min. It's basically meant to use plugged in .

It has an a/c plug or battery "backup". I'm not sure how long a battery would last since ours is always plugged in.

The battery lasts only two hours but if u play plugged in it will play twelve hours. Love this DVD player screen is awesome great pic. Like it better than small screen versions.

Battery only, and it really only does that for a couple of uses. Save yourself some money and buy something else.

It's designed to be plugged in. I think it has a battery but it's only for when the power goes out.

It doesn't have to be plugged in while using it. I've had this for a few years. The main downside is the charge doesn't last long at all!

Mine uses AA batteries but quickly drains them of power 1-2 hours - if I'm lucky. I've tried using a ac/dc adapter with it when I hooked it up (via a patch cable) to my Boombox, it (CD player) shut down after an hour. I am disappointed - to put it mildly.

I have only charged it once because you have to have it turned off to charge it and I always have it plugged in when I use it! The one time I used it on battery it lasted almost 2 hours!

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

you have to plug it into a usb or get an adapter plug to plug in outlet. They are built in batteries.
