how do you charge the battery? Is there an ac adapter for it?

You charge the battery via the USB wire that you must keep and plug into any usb port. That charges the battery. There is no other method to charge the battery with house current, but it is not a problem. I have been using mine for about 9 months now, and the record player works great by itself. I have not been able to plug speakers into it and make them work, but it is probably just me. The charging system works fine, it takes about an hour to charge from the USB off of my computer. You can get an ac adapter to usb, and then plug your wire into that, to charge the battery. That would work too. Also a 12 volt adapter to USB port will work. The battery runs the record player for a long time, I have not ran out of power using it for half a day, so that part works fine. I recommend being very careful when you plug the wire into the side of the case, as the usb wire connector can bend the charging wires, I had to put on my glasses and straighten them out, as I mashed the wires into the connector incorrectly, thinking I had it in there the right way.

I've been powering it through an AC adapter. It doesn't look like there is space inside to put a battery in. However you can always grab one of these:Battery Holder for (8) AA with Standard Snap Connector : BH383 (1)and attach a regular input cable. You will get 12V out, exactly what this little baby needs.

There is a way to charge the battery. There is a USB cable that connects to a computer only, that is used for charging that comes with the camera. We wanted additional batteries, and to be able to charge the batteries through A/C plug, and a car charger adapter. We purchased a kit from Amazon, sold by Big Mike's Electronics that included all these items.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

AC adapter provided.. Otherwise, you can purchase an AC plug with USB ports.

It has a USB AC charger included which could be plugged in while playing. The battery lasts so long and charges in a couple hours, I've never had to run it from the ac adapter.

There is a docking port with a USB connection. When you put it in the port you charge the battery.

No, it does not come with an AC adapter. It is powered by the USB connection. I have had no problems with just using the USB connection as a power source.

It's battery operated and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use an AC adapter but it would have to be 6V.

Mine actually has an AC adapter so we plug it in to use it. I heard the rechargeable ones didn't work too well.

It comes with an AC adapter that charges the battery while in the camera. Great camera.

Mine didn't have an AC adapter, just the USB cable. The manual shows an adapter included. I'm returning it for refund and get to eat the cost of return shipping. I will order a charger from a different manufacturer.

It has batteries (4 AAs) but I don't see any place to plug in an ac adapter.

The battery has to be charged in an external charger. You can't even charge it in the camera, even if you connect the camera to the optional AC adapter
