Can this Mifi card run attached to a power source or is it battery only? Can it operate while charging or plugged into a wall outlet?

Ours is plugged in a lot! Can run either way! It lives plugged in and running at our home. When it leaves it has great battery ife.Great device!

It can run attached to a power source but only with battery in. Thus you slowly destroy the battery's capacity to hold a charge. If you can remember to turn it off when not using, then battery will last. Don't buy it if you have a choice. I have three so far -- they only keep working about 6 months.

This mifi can run while attached to a power source. It can operate while it's charging and plugged into a wall outlet.

It can run while attached to a wall plug outlet. It can also run on battery until it runs down. It will alert you when it is getting low.

The Mifi has an included battery which is good for several hours depending on how much and how fast the data is sent. It is convenient in any remote covered area without being plugged in: you might want to take it out to another building beyond the mifi to computer distance. We have two computers on different floors about 60 feet apart.. It has a small charger which brings it up to 100 % very fast. I do believe that there is a USB charger cable but I am not clear about that.

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.

I have it plugged into a standard wall outlet and a computer battery back up connected to it. Works great.

The device has a plug in power supply. I have streamed from an Android phone and iPad, and both exhibit normal battery life, the same as streaming to any other device.

It can plug into the wall or your car cig. lighter to run or recharge the battery. Not a bad unit, but you have to adjust the antenna just right for decent reception.... Good for emergency use.

Mine plugs right into a wall power outlet... I activate my phone to find the speakers and my music plays.... Not rocket surgery...

it just plugs into the standard wall outlet. I works well. No problems with the unit at all.

It will power a portable USB Hard drive. I run this configuration in hotels, where I can power the MacAlly simultaneously through its separate miniUSB charging port. While it can run a drive purely off its internal battery, but don't expect much in battery duration.

I need it to run the computer while I use it. the internal battery goes dead quickly (less than 1 hr) while using unplugged. Need it to power computer in use for 3 hrs using multiple applications.

No and yes (it charges/runs devices off of the bus at that point). Keep in mind with no supplemental power you will be limited by whatever the USB bus can provide on it's own (5v, 500mA for 2.0 and 900mA for 3.0 bus)

It is powered by the USB connection and doesn't require an additional power supply. It is not wireless and must be connected with the USB cable.

I can only answer for the one that I own. I can plug it in and it runs just fine, especially when battery is low. If your battery is completely dead, with no chance of ever charging again, it probably has a short and it, theoretically, will NOT work when plugged in either due to the shorted battery. I hope somewhere in what I said you find the answer that you were looking for.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.

It runs on a rechargeable battery that charges with a USB charger or wall plug (universal size). Battery is not replaceable to my knowledge.

You have to plug it in the AC wall source.. NO battery is present.. Be careful because I received a Chinese version and software can't be changed to English or Spanish ask first. This have several functions..,,,,

I also can use my 255W while charging via a wall plug,I have programed in destinations while it is charging,no problem at all.

300 W power supply is enough to run this card. There are no separate power supply cord or connection is necessary.
