How does this vest stay powered? Does it need triple A batteries or do you plug it into an outlet the night before your morning run?

It takes AAA batteries. The lights change to solid red when the batteries are running low so you know to replace them before it leaves you running in the dark. I love this vest!

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.

I'm on the lighter side and I run here and there on it... It last a while... I charge about once a week and if I'm not riding it... It keeps the charge. I love mine!

Very simple, it comes with a A/C plug that plugs in the front of the battery pack and never have to worry about the charge status. i use mine daily so I leave it plugged in all the time and it has never hurt the battery pack and over the last ten years I am on my third one which is not bad compared to the daily use.

Yes, I run mine most of time without batteries, but have used over 24 hours with one on battery other plugged in. Uses 3 AAA batteries each unit.

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

It is powered with a USB cable and plug that they provide. You can leave it plugged in all the time or let it run off the internal battery and just plug it in to recharge the battery. Some functionality is sacrificed if run off battery power to conserve power. I'm going to see if I can cut off one end of the usb cable and permanently wire it into the vehicle.

The lights don't bother me as I wear it. I run in a group & sometimes it bothers my friends if I have it on the flashing setting & the are behind me. Love the vest!

It runs on the DC power of your vehicle's batteery . No additional battery required.

I've used my GPS quite a bit and the battery is still going strong. I turn it on just before I head into the woods to mark my starting point and then turn it off. When I'm ready to head back to my truck or camo I turn it back on and follow the arrow home.. so it's not like the unit is on the entire time I'm in the woods. Hope this helps you out.

It has to be plugged in to a long electric cord. Tie the cord to your belt loop and walk so the cord is always behind you, it works fine this way and you won't ever have to deal with charging a battery or replacing a battery.

Both. I use it plugged in, but it has a spot for batteries that I haven't tested (looks like 2 AA? maybe 3?)

Uses six AAA. I opted for rechargeables. Needs fresh ones every 3 months of heavy use.

If you use it in the woods for scouting then you want a battery unless you there's a outlet and you've a generator. So economically its 4 batteries.

It takes two AA batteries, but they wont last two hours. It does not blow that much air and it is impossible to securely attach it to a stroller or really anything. I will sell you mine or just give it to you if you pay shipping. Its junk, dont buy.

I have mine plugged into an electrical socket all the time. I bought it for when there is a power failure at night. When the house power goes off, the flashlight will turn on. Not only will I be able to find it, but I will have light on high for around 2 hours and if I keep it on night lite setting it can last up to 15 hours.For $7.99 it is a great device for safety when emergencies happen. I am not sure how long it takes to charge from the dead state as I have always kept it plugged in since I received it.

Yes it requires 4 AA batteries. Most of the reviews I've read recommend rechargeable batteries, which I too recommend. The AA batteries, in my experience, haven't lasted longer than 4 hours. The feet warmers are definitely worth the investment though. I live in northeast Wisconsin and I am out ice fishing all the time and these are really great, definitely keep my feet warm!
