This says portable. Is it battery powered or must it be plugged in? Thanks!

I has to be plugged in. I was not very happy with this scanner. It has to be cleaned constantly to prevent the little white lines that appear on the scans. I just bought a Doxie scanner.

It is AC only. It just has a basic power cord. I really do not know why they call it portable, since it does not take batteries or charge with internal battery.

It is completely portable. Just plug in when you need to charge the battery back up. Very good sound and distance.

It can be plugged in. I leave it plugged in in my office and only use it as a tablet when using it in other rooms or on the go.

It is not battery powered. It plugs in the wall socket. One comment the light is not that bright. No sure if you can get a bright bulb for it.

Yes. It can be battery powered or plugged in. But I like some others have been disappointed with the signal quality, somI haven't made much use of them....

From what I have experienced, there is not "battery" on this product. So it has to be plugged to a power source.

It's battery powered. And it works great especially when playing recorded C.D.'s. Which was why I got one.

It is not battery powered it has mechanical speings inside. However, ours only lasted a couple of months before it cracked.

No, it's not battery powered. It runs on 110V only. There is a battery in the hand piece to activate the sonic vibration function.I would not travel with this thing, it's way too big.

It must be plugged in. It doesn't have a battery because it uses too much power for a battery.

Hi Perry, It is not battery powered. It has a 110v-12v power supply with a cord that is 4 feet in length.

It has to be plugged in to work. There is a semi-quiet fan going that keeps it inflated. It can be staked to the ground.

It's referred to as portable because it's extremely light weight and easy to carry. You still need to plug it in though.

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