Nope, But i think it can be conect in the cars output, but you need an adapter

I honestly don't remember. I think you can put batteries in the base but it would drain them pretty fast i would think. I always plugged it in.

I didn't purchase this for myself, I purchased it for a baby shower present. It is totally electric, not a battery operated system.

It does. However, there is no way to turn the unit off without taking the battery out, so it runs down fast if you don't remember to remove it.

No it doesn't run off batteries. You plug it into the lighter receptacle in your vehicle.

I don't think it does. It runs on batteries so you would have to switch it off

No it runs if gas cylinder, like butane. It has an igniter like a gas grille. So no batteries. Work great

Louis, No it does not operate by battery. It comes with a power pact which plugs into an ordinary house 110-120 volt outlet. the power pack steps the voltage down and converts it to DC (battery type voltage). if the unit is not operating. Either the power pack is bad or the unit itself is not working. If you plug in the power pack and "slide the switch on the side to the on position" and it does not work. You may need to return it. I have worked many years as a professional in the field of Electronics. I hope this helps. Sam P.

I never installed batteries but as I recall it needs them or the AC power to operate.

Absolutely not. Unit operates when plugged . Once you unplug ,if turned on ,starts operating using the batteries.

No, it's battery operated and I have to say I wish it did. The lights are very dim and the batteries burn out quite quickly.

No, it has an electric plug that runs on house current and cannot be removed. Also does not use batteries as an alternative power source.

Hello and Happy New year! Unfortunately it will not operate with batteries. Only electrical outlet. I hope this helps. Best.

Yes, there are no batteries - it only runs on electricity - and it has an on/off switch, so it will run as long as you leave it on (and as long as you have power. :) )
