So what do you need to run this radio? Do I need to buy both a battery and a battery charger? This radio does not run with an AC power cord? Thanks

Yes you need to have a battery to power this radio it does not come with any other form of power hook up

You will need 18/ 24 volt battery to run it. my lasts 14 hours at work before charge

It's a good little radio, but it is NOT a charger. It needs a battery to work. It has no power cord.

Yes this radio has both an AC Power adapter and can also run using 4 "C" batteries.

The radio uses only 110-120 volts . If you use 220 volts than you will need a step down converter. The radio has its own battery charger.:-)

It does not contain a battery at all so never is charged. It must be plugged into the 12V socket to run. It will not drain your car battery if left plugged in while the vehicle is turned off. You simply plug one end into the 12V socket and the other end (1/8" jack) into your audio device. Then you tune and it works.

Mine came with an Ac cord. The description says it is battery powered, mine does not have a battery, just a cord. Sorry I can not help

I don't think you'd want to power this radio with a cig charger. (It doesn't come with one) It connects to your car battery. This isn't a wimpy 5 watt Hand Talkie. I use mine as a base radio. I hooked it to a MFJ-4230 power switching box that plugs into the wall and a Tran $25.00 magnetic antenna stuck to the top of a file cabinet. I hit repeaters 65+ miles away with this radio. Kenwood makes great radios. This is a single band (2 meter) which is what I was looking for. Hope this helps.

Since it uses regular batteries, it only comes with a power cord that is 12V. It has a 'charge' port, so if using chargeable batteries, you would need to get a charger cord.

No Battery is required for this type of antennae. Never saw that in any description I've ever read about any CB antenna for that matter. You just stick a small box on the inside and the outside to the rear glass window and try to find an area that your electric heater glass wires don't concentrate heavily in. Screw on the antenna staff and tune it up and you ready to go. If you don't have a tuning meter I'd recommend taking it to a truck stop and see if they have a mechanic willing to help you tune it. Tuning is not required by I highly recommend it for any antenna.---Howdyp

Here is the link for the manual in English http://tecsunradio.cantonmade.com/category/download/user-manual Scroll down till you get to the PL310 listing. The same website probably has the the power cord for sale. If not go to a Best Buy with the radio and see what they have. Mine came without a power cord also.

Mine came with a battery charger. Just take the battery out to charge. If yours did not come with a charger, you can buy one that works at Radio Shack

No! you will need the battery charger unit. In addition, purchase the larger battery with longer life, you will be much happier. There are two models of this type of radio. Check details.

Hi Marija, The radio does NOT come with a battery. It takes both the full size and the slim 18v Makita Batteries. Another point to note is that the radio does not charge the batteries either when plugged into the mains with the included AC power cord. You can attach an iPhone 4 or 4s directly into the top of the radio via the dock, for iPhone 5, you will need the adapter from apple to do this. There is also two Aux inputs, one on the front panel and one inside the rear battery compartment. It should be noted that Makita moved the input inside the battery compartment so that you can connect your iPhone / iPod or MP3 player with a battery in there as well. This was very annoying on the previous models as the input was behind the battery for some strange reason.

Yes it does, runs on ac or batteries. Cord un-plugs from radio, but does not have room to store it.

This radio does not come with batteries. You can put any C cell batteries in it. There is a switch that allows you to use rechargeable or alkaline batteries. I really like this radio but, the only thing is that it has distortion when I turn it up to loud.

Hello Steve, Thanks for your interest! We are sorry, but ours only comes with the battery charger and AC cord. We hope this will work for you because we would love to get your business!

Sorry...I didn't buy the AC adaptor; I use the radio for just a few minutes each day, so I get by on just battery power.

no adapter. just a plain plug into the wall. it does not use batteries. the amazon site is wrong about the need for aa size batteries. it can not take batteries. the 110 volt cord is removeable from the radio.
