The user manual says that you can power this device directly from a wall socket bypassing the battery. In this case should the battery be removed?

It will work without battery. Not sure you should remove the battery. But it will work in both scenarios.

No leave the battery in the device. The circuitry detects if the device is receiving power and then charges the battery and runs the device at the same time. When the battery completes charging the unit continues to run on AC till you unplug from the wall socket. It is a nice feature that you can run it and charge the battery at the same time.

Yes, it will work fine. I'm using mine right now without the battery. My battery is bad (3 yrs. old) and the unit will lock up with the battery installed so I removed it.

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Yes, but I take it out as the battery does not lose power if not in charger.

No this does not need a battery. It is plugged into the wall. Also, the only way to turn it off is to unplug it.

It has been my experience that it is best to disconnect the battery once it is fully charged. I don't think it will be unsafe, just not good for the batteries.

It is powered by plugging it in. The only way to turn off everything is to take it completely out of the wall outlet. As for a similar item with the feature I would suggest a larger surge protector. Those normally have a on/off switch.

Yes, you can disconnect the battery. In fact, you have to disconnect the battery when you keep it for charging. Disconnecting battery is very simple.

It is supposed to be able to work from battery power, so that you can hang it anywhere without a power cord. But mine arrived without the battery option at all. When I questioned this, they said that the battery powered version was not being produced anymore, and they refunded my money without making me return the item.

Short answer is "no". There are two wires coming out of the unit that you can basically connect to the terminals of a 12V battery (I used a car battery). You'd need to get a 12V power supply that plugs into the wall and hook it up to that if you wanted non-battery power.

You cannot destroy a device by connecting a power supply with a larger current rating than its requirement. If your device needs 0.7A to 1A then it would take just that amount. I believe however that if your battery for the device is poorly design then it could take more than the required amt and damage the device. It is also in my opinion that the power plug is not going to be the problem. I have mine and it works well still. I also left my device on the power plug longer than it used to and my device still works fine. Hope this info helps

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

No. The unit is powered from a permanently sealed battery with 10 year life and cannot use external power, so there would be no point in doing so.

i guess if you want to be absolutley safe about it, you could install a circuit breaker. i run my direct off the battery, works fine.

you have to charge it thru connecting it to the laptop. no wall socket option but once you charge it up- the battery lasts a while

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

Yes you can. The battery cam be recharged via wall socket as well. Works great!

Yes, in fact I recommend using it while plugged in to a wall outlet and save your battery for when its most needed.
